Campus Residential Projects In addition to designing the infrastructure improvements, BVH provided engineering design services for many of the individual campus residential projects that are part of the Residential Master Plan. James & Stearns Residential Halls This ambitious project includes the complete removal of the outdated existing buildings, and the construction of two new residence halls in their place. Each of the new buildings houses approximately 85 students in one- and two-room doubles. The project was completed in 2005. Williston Hall This $3.5 million conversion of Williston Hall from classrooms and faculty offices to a freshman dormitory for 34 students was the first of the Residential Master Plan projects to be completed in 2003. North & South Colleges $6 million dormitory project includes a complete redesign of the interiors and a historically sensitive restoration of the exteriors, with new copper roofs. Each building will house 61 students, mostly in one-room doubles. Weiland & King Hall Two 4- and 5-story new dormitories are patterned after the simple Puritan style buildings elsewhere on campus. The single occupant rooms provide housing for 115 students and were completed in August 2004. Charles Pratt Dormitory This project consists of the conversion of the existing Museum and Geology Building into a 119-student residential complex. The original 1883 building will be extensively renovated while the 1903 wing will be demolished and replaced with a new addition to the south. The renovated building will include all-campus space that will be available for performance and visual arts as well as for large social gatherings. Cooper House Renovations to a former residence include electrical and mechanical systems, new roof, new windows, a significant addition, and reconfiguration of interior spaces. The building is the new home of the Black Studies and Philosophy departments. Museum of Natural History & Earth Sciences Building The new 60,000-SF combined Earth Sciences Building and Museum of Natural History includes state of the art teaching labs for both introductory and advanced geology courses. The new Museum of Natural History, open to the public in June, 2006, is home to outstanding collections and exhibits. |
