Project Background
ICA, in collaboration with Cannon Design, is leading the comprehensive rehabilitation of the Science Hall, a National Historic Landmark built in 1887. Science Hall is currently home to the Department of Geography, the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, and the State Cartographer’s Office.
This Science Hall Renovation project is a complete and thorough building rehabilitation that preserves the building’s historical and architectural significance while bringing the aging instructional facilities, such as classrooms and labs, up to modern standards, improving life safety and accessibility, upgrading all building systems, and providing a welcoming and active academic space throughout for students, faculty, and staff.
