The renovation of Campbell Hall is nearing the 10% complete mark as crews continue interior work. They’ve completed removing old concrete floors from the building and are now refilling them and bringing them back up to the proper elevation. Underground plumbing is being installed on the ground floor as the penthouse roof is being removed. Historic preservation is being considered as crews work through the project, preserving wood doors and frames throughout the building and the terracotta entrance to the auditorium.
Construction progress includes:
- Installing floor fill on the second floor.
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) being installed on the third floor.
- Underground plumbing being installed in the basement.
- Crews preparing to do exterior window restoration.
The original building, completed in 1916, was built to house the home economics department. Now, Campbell Hall houses some of the programs of the College of Education and Human Ecology’s Department of Human Sciences and Educational Studies.
The Campbell Hall Renovation is a $61.2 million project that includes state funding and supports the College of Education and Human Ecology’s educational goals and mission. It renovates 115,000 square-feet of existing offices, research and computer labs, teaching kitchen, department and pool classrooms and collaborative areas.
