Constructed on a tight site, this 122,000-square-foot project incorporates the old with the new. The project focuses on the preservation of an existing three-story gymnasium façade. A further challenge to the project are the numerous utilities at the site and the coordination required for timely deliveries. In addition to the intricate network of utilities, the site was a complicated one, which included the existing football stadium to one side, a highway thoroughfare to another, a steep sloped hill to another, and the University's Physical Plant to another. The main entrance to this historical building bridges an electrical substation that powers a portion of the campus.
