Overview
This renovation adds a 33,000-square-foot academic wing and creates a light-filled Commons with views to Lake Mendota. The building includes administrative offices, student services, classrooms and research functions for four academic departments. Essentially creating a second front entrance to a former backside, the two-story Commons opens to a new plaza and pedestrian path. For the six-story, 66,000-square-foot existing building built in 1900, HGA worked with a historic preservation architect to restore the façade, entrance lobby and grand staircase.
Sustainable Design
The design offers a high level of energy efficiency throughout the building. The building's post-and-beam structure and low floor-to-floor heights led to an innovative use of a chilled beam air-conditioning system that allowed ductwork to be reduced by almost two-thirds. Energy-efficient design features include new lighting, electrical, telecommunications and fire-protection systems, as well as three separate green roof areas and rain gardens.
