The Edmondson Hall renovation project breathes new life into an out-dated and aging 51-year old building housing key life science education and research. The building’s layout grew organically throughout the years, resulting in an extremely fractured and inefficient organization. The project reorganized research labs, teaching labs, support spaces, and administrative/office spaces for greater efficiency and synergy, and provides the University with highly flexible lab spaces for scientific collaboration, interdisciplinary activity, and the ability to quickly adaptability to changes in faculty, teaching methodology, and research. The project also includes energy-saving features like new high performance windows, sun shades, energy efficient A/C system, and solar hot water. "It generates collaborative spaces for everyone to interact in — staff, students, faculty, graduate students, post-docs, everybody." -Dr. Steve Robinow, Biology Dept. Chair
