Description | The project scope includes full renewal of the exterior and the interior of the building, as well reconstruction of some lost site elements. The building envelope—including the original steel windows— will be restored according to its original design. In the interior, important public spaces like the lobby will be restored based on their original design, while other spaces will be sensitively renovated to better support their new uses. The lobby, which was subdivided some years ago to create a secure exhibition space, will be reopened and restored to its role as a pre-event space for the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall and the University Theater. The classroom wing, which now houses studios for the School of Art, will be reorganized for general-use classrooms as the studios are moved out of the center of campus to the Art and Design District. The concert hall and theater blocks will be renovated to address major acoustical, lighting, and mechanical problems, lack of back-of-house space, and other issues identified in a 2017 study1 in order to bring them in line with contemporary best practices. The landscape will be restored based on Tunnard’s original design, while making sensitive improvements for maintainability and ADA access. |
