Designed by Dale Partners Architects P.A, renovation of the building combines incorporation of modern technology, such as LED lighting and other energy-efficient infrastructure, with restoring the building’s 20th century architectural style.
The south entrance, previously blocked by a mechanical room, will be made accessible as part of the new renovation. Arch-shaped windows will be featured above the entrances on the east and west sides of the building. A staircase on the west end, part of the original structure, has been restored along with landscaping of the building’s grounds.
The overall projected cost of the renovation is $6.3 million. The contractor for the project is W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Company.
College Hall, built in 1912, will re-open during the fall 2013 semester and serve as home to the School of Mass Communication and Journalism.
