CALHOUN HALL
RENOVATION/ADDITION
Opened in 1972 as Calhoun Hall, the project is an 8 story dormitory set to open in 2020.
The renovation covers the entire existing dormitory including the ground floor lounge areas, offices, utility rooms and completely renovating the apartment of the Resident Director.
The addition will house an honors college and provide gathering, housing and administrative functions for honors students and staff. It will also provided a new secure entry to the building where gathering space, seminar rooms, quiet study and administrative spaces are situated. The second floor of the addition, accessed by a monumental stair, will provided offices for the honors program dean & staff, as well as support spaces for conferencing and collaboration.
I worked w/ the Lead Designer to detail several key points in the project including the monumental stair in the administrative addition.
