Fletcher Hall Renovations

[USL1970]

Wow.

Like I said, to each his own.

Gordon Brooks, Dean of Art and Design, really likes the "design" of Fletcher Hall, and after the renovations, he said it will be much improved functionally while retaining its style ... and I believe he said the courtyard will be open, but the classrooms will be enclosed with a glass hallway. So, you have another who shares your taste.

Now what school is this building located in the country---or is it in the country???

Plenty of inside demo work has been done. I don't have access to that so here are a few photos from the outside.

Thank you very much. I give copies of all the photos to Dr. Savoie. What he does with them after that I don't know.

I totally agree. I really look forward to your updates. Thanks for all your hard work.

A view from the McKinley street side of the building. There is not too much to show as they are really concentrating on water proofing the building. Something that was desperately needed.

There is a Fletcher Hall FB page, which has some pics of the reno progress:

Adding additional studio space on at least three corners of the building. These are two of them.

And a view of the interior, courtesy of their FB page. Looks like the glazing is pretty much complete.
