This project involved the gut renovation of Noyes Lodge to provide a welcoming, engaging, and comfortable environment to prospective students and to ensure visitors leave with a lasting impression of the history, student experience and the spirit of the Cornell Campus.

This design included the renovation of the existing 26,000 sf Science Building, plus the addition of a new 28,000 sf Science Center and 13,000 sf Workforce Center. The renovated Science Building primarily houses nursing labs, classrooms, and offices; while most of the new Science Center houses chemistry, biology, physics, and geology labs.

The Workforce Center design included a 300 seat flexible community meeting room that could either be used as a large single space or sub-divided into 4 separate presentation spaces. The room included LED fixtures with dimming control, automatic daylighting control, four presentation screens and A/V systems.

The building was designed to optimize energy efficiency in all of the MEP systems. All lights were LED fixtures with full dimming capability and automatic daylight dimming control. Energy recovery ventilation systems were included on all mechanical systems including the specialized lab ventilation system. All VAV systems included demand controlled ventilation with carbon monoxide detection to optimize ventilation efficiency.

This 100,000 sf building houses chemistry and biology labs, along with the associated prep spaces, classrooms, and administrative areas. The project received a LEED Gold rating and was projected to use 37% less energy than permitted by Energy Code. Energy saving technologies include energy recovery system for the lab ventilation, magnetic drive chiller, daylight harvesting, and a 10.5 kW photovoltaic system.

Sibley Hall was constructed in 1964 as a demonstration elementary school for student teachers. This partial renovation of approximately 26,000 sf involved converting the existing gym into two stories of office space, in addition to renovation of surrounding spaces. The key design challenge was working within the existing building MEP infrastructure while providing a fully modern space and preparing for incorporation into future renovation phases.

The student center, originally constructed in the mid 1960’s has been upgraded with new lighting, air conditioning, and interiors to better compliment the new dormitory constructed on the campus.
