Fraternity house renovation and addition
This university fraternity house renovation and addition was a project designed to update and expand the living and study spaces for engineering-based fraternity. The existing early 1960s gabled residence hall and common rooms were in poor condition and in dire need of a renovation to make them both safe and attractive to current and prospective fraternity members.
Our project proposes a complete renovation of the common rooms, updating kitchen and dining facilities and bringing them into current compliance with safety and energy regulations. To expand the residential wing, a new floor will be added to the existing 2-story wing and the entire wing will be renovated expanding room sizes and providing additional study rooms.
A new proposed addition of a Library and Study Center is located at the west edge of the property, connecting to the common rooms and creating an exterior courtyard.
