Knowles Hall Renovation
The renovation of Knowles Hall began in spring 2022 and will be completed in August 2023.
The renovation will include an extensive reconfiguration of the first floor to accommodate new programmatic elements including expanded lounge and study spaces, a community kitchen, a classroom, the Area Desk, offices and an Area Coordinator’s apartment.
Restrooms on the residence floors will be reconfigured to meet current accessibility standards and inclusion for all students.
The configuration of the residence rooms will remain the same, but receive new finishes, fixtures and furniture.
In order to maintain the current bed count and provide additional shared spaces at each floor, the existing balcony spaces will be enclosed to increase the square footage of the building.
The building’s mechanical, plumbing, electrical and IT systems will all be updated.
