Designed by John Andrews, Gund Hall considered a heroic marvel of concrete-modernism. This carbon-conscious renovation is a national example of sustainable performance for significant modern buildings of this type and scale.
Across multiple phases, the project replaces the complex curtainwall and special window assemblies to meet advanced energy codes and conserve original design elements. BIM-based models for carbon emissions, energy consumption, and lighting inform the design for heightened storm resistance.
