Western Michigan University - Dunbar Hall

Modernizing an Academic Building

Dunbar Hall contains classrooms for the English and Foreign Language departments and multi-media studios for the Office of Information Technology. The overhaul of the nearly 50-year-old, 78,000-square-foot building includes completely reconfigured classroom layouts, additional student workspaces and major technology upgrades to bring teaching and learning spaces up to the latest standards.

Western Michigan University’s Dunbar Hall Addition and Renovation project looked to upgrade the existing University’s Arts & Humanities programs including Education, Languages, and Social Sciences. It includes an addition to house newly updated vertical circulation nodes, ADA compliant restrooms and bldg. support, and modernized, technology-rich teaching classrooms and studios.
