Graduate School of Education
Philadelphia, PA

This project was a 43,000 SF adaptive reuse and renovation of an existing structure originally built in the 1960’s for classrooms and offices.  It included extensive infrastructure upgrades, a revitalized façade, and reprogrammed interior space plan.  Administrative areas were integrated into a larger, more cross-functional workspace; basement level storage was converted into high technology classroom and computer facilities; and three large seminar rooms were added to the five existing along the window wall section above the main entrance.

 
“EwingCole was extraordinarily successful in transforming an inflexible older building into a newer, state-of-the art facility that meets the needs of our students, faculty, and staff.   EwingCole understood and incorporated our expressed goals into a renovated building that has been heralded as a model of excellence on the University of Pennsylvania campus.”

Crawford Hall
Cleveland, OH

This project was the renovation of a 1960’s classroom and faculty office building.  It features a separate resource room, and a library supporting interaction among fellow students and faculty as well as access resource material.  Classrooms are equipped with technology that will allow communication between students and faculty on an international basis.  Moveable partitions allow two classrooms to combine, creating a larger lecture space with seating for up to 100 students.

 
“Your remodeling of Crawford is very handsome. The space there is open, light-filled and beautiful, and you have made it even better.”

Skenandoa House
Clinton, NY

The new Skenandoa House is a product of the 20,000 SF historic structure transformed from a former fraternity house into a new residence hall.  The facility was able to achieve LEED Gold status.

 
“The partnership between EwingCole and our institution was invaluable in our efforts to make Skenandoa House more environmentally efficient. The finished project consumes significantly less energy per square foot than our other residence halls.  Skenandoa House began as an experiment, and we are very pleased with the results and payback we’ve received; we have retained EwingCole to apply similar strategies in the renovation of Hamilton College’s Kirner Johnson Hall.”
