Goody Clancy Announces New Cabell Hall Renovation Project at the University of Virginia
Goody Clancy is pleased to announce a $50 million renovation project, the New Cabell Hall, at the University of Virginia. This project involves the renovation of the 159,129 SF Eggers and Higgins designed classroom building, originally built in 1952. The building is still a significant academic building for the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, with over 50 classrooms, 390 offices for faculty and staff, and approximately 13,000 SF in other departmental spaces such as conference rooms. Few changes have been made to the facility since its construction.
Goody Clancy’s renovations will address systems improvements, including replacing heating and introducing central air conditioning throughout the building, elevator replacement, other mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades, as well as building code and ADA compliance. It will include improvements to the interior finishes throughout the building; creation of a new building lobby in the central area of the south wing and new public areas throughout the building; modifications to the existing central interior staircase; and improvements to the classrooms, offices and instructional technology. The project will provide a connection between the south elevation of New Cabell Hall and the new South Lawn terrace, and improved interior and exterior accessible paths. The landscape in the courtyard between Cabell Hall and New Cabell Hall will be improved, and the landscape on the south side of the building will be integrated with that of the South Lawn Project.
The first phase of the project is scheduled for completion in 2010, with phase two completed in 2011.
