Home | Projects | Strong Hall – University of Tennessee

Details

  • Assignment: Construction Manager
  • Architect: The Lewis Group Architects; The S/L/AM Collaborative

Description

Originally a women’s residence hall constructed over 80 years ago, Strong Hall was vacant since early 2011. The Strong Hall is transformed to house lab spaces for chemistry, biology and earth sciences courses; it is 274,800 sf.

Features

  • A significant portion of the facility was demolished and rebuilt to meet evolving needs of the university.
  • A multi-floor section of the women’s residence hall that previously occupied the site was incorporated within the atrium of the new science building.
  • Other historic features, including arches and bricks, will also be preserved and serve as focal points of an exhibit space and multiple conference rooms.
  • The project site was adjacent to a residence hall and parking garage in a very active and congested area. Messer worked extensively with UT to ensure that campus life was not impacted by construction.
  • 2018 AGC of Tennessee Build Knoxville Award.
