Renovation of Lommen Hall Begins
Last week the general contractors began work on Phase One Renovation of Lommen Hall.
Phase One Renovation starts with remodeling the west end of the Lommen Hall complex in spaces previously used by the Early Childhood program, Write Site, Social Work Department, and classrooms. Work on this phase of the project will continue through January, 2010.
Phase Two of the project involves the largest area of remodeling, which involves offices and classrooms in the east section of Lommen Hall. Remodeling of this phase will begin in Spring 2010 and continue until Spring 2011. During construction, occupants impacted by Phase Two will be temporarily relocated to Holmquist Hall.
When the two-phased project is completed, the entire interior of Lommen Hall will be redesigned and remodeled using sustainable building materials, enhanced energy efficient lighting, and attractive new finishes. In addition, the exterior will be upgraded to a more energy efficient building envelope. Included in the exterior enhancements are significant window replacements, roof replacement, tuck-pointing, and a new handicapped accessible front entrance.
