Ewell Hall Renovation

Built in 1926, Ewell Hall is shared by several academic units and administrative offices in Arts and Sciences. The renovations will update life safety systems, ensure full accessibility, replace building systems which have exceeded life expectancies, and reconfigure the interior to suit future use by Health Sciences, while also improving circulation by connecting two structurally separated areas. The renovation will provide critical space for seminar and classroom space, teaching laboratories, core facilities, collaborative workspace, shared equipment rooms, and shared laboratory storage.
