Rockwell Hall Renovations

The 8th floor of Rockwell Hall underwent significant renovations during the summer of 2024 as part of a multi-phase project to modernize the floor. The improvements included: 

• Newly redesigned, enlarged, and updated ADA-compliant restrooms
• New single-use restroom
• New carpeting in faculty and staff offices
• New heating and cooling systems (including new HVAC equipment in all offices)
• Fire suppression sprinklers
• Redesigned elevator lobby featuring open ceilings, flooring, and lighting similar to the other recently renovated floors

Costing nearly $2 million, the upgrades to the 8th floor were essential for enhancing both individual and open workspaces, while also implementing necessary safety and ADA upgrades.

We look forward to Phase II of the 8th floor renovation, which will include redesigned “inner ring” spaces (e.g., new kitchenette, collaboration spaces, and other enhancements).

The timing of Phase II will depend on raising the necessary funds and scheduling of other facilities-related projects on campus.
