Davidson College Chambers Building Comprehensive Renovation
Scope
Renovation of the most prominent academic building on campus, originally constructed in 1927
Full interior renovation included converting the existing Love Auditorium into new state-of-the-art classrooms and faculty offices
Rear façade was redesigned to address the existing plaza between the Chambers Building and Little Library
Highlights
New design features include a classical limestone portico that resembles the building’s existing architecture
Atrium lobby and redesigned gallery provide dramatic spaces to host college events and gatherings
Challenges
Situated directly in the center of campus, the building was occupied during the entire renovation, which required four complex phases over two years
