Construction of Gould Hall for COA Betterment

With the renovation to Gould Hall, Dean of the College of Architecture Bob Fillpot hopes the finished facility will be more reflective of the professor's mission and responsibility and that the only thing the college loses is being regarded as one of the ugliest buildings on campus, according to a COA newsletter.

A new library, outdoor gathering place, lobby space, classrooms, archival space, and faculty center are only a few of the new additions the building. The renovation is presently $9 million in hard costs, according to Dean Bob Fillpot.

"Defined by concept design I did for President Boren five years ago," Dean Bob Fillpot said. "[The] program was determined by previous studies that had been [done] regarding different aspects of the college operations, together with thoughts on programmatic issues noted through one-on-one discussions with faculty and staff during my first two years with the college," according to the COA newsletter.

The facility is scheduled to be complete January 10, 2011, according to Nick Harm, Director Division of Architecture.
