Structure and Finishes
- Concrete foundation and slabs on grade with steel superstructure
- Steel stud walls with entire exterior of detailed brick veneer played off forms and motifs of existing Minard Hall
- Quartz epoxy flooring throughout, except lecture halls, which feature high-grade carpet for acoustic purposes
- Interior walls specifically engineered for sound and impact absorption
- Corridors and other common public places to receive durable, contemporary polymer-bead 'stucco-like' finish
Building Use
The Minard Hall Addition has been designed as "University space", intended for use by any department requiring additional classroom or lecture space on campus. As a link between the Music Education building and Minard Hall, it will also serve as a gathering place for students with the future incorporation of a coffee service area and the inviting second floor mezzanine overlooking the first floor commons area.
First Floor
12,000 sq. ft. that will include:
- One traditional lecture hall of 2,700 sq. ft. seating over 200 students
- One PBL (Problem-Based Learning) lecture hall that will be outfitted with cutting edge learning technologies
- One ancillary classroom space
- Coffee service area integrated with a 1,500 sq. ft. commons area
Second Floor
1,500 sq. ft. of mezzanine overlooking the commons and first floor corridor areas
Third Floor
7,000 sq. ft. mix - one small, one medium and one large university classroom space; one smaller PBL lecture room
Fourth Floor
2,000 sq. ft. mechanical area (entire floor)
The "Gem"
A beautiful monumental stair connecting the commons to the classrooms above will emphasize the quality and scale of this building.
