This addition respects the original architecture while providing flexibility for future uses.
The McClelland Hall addition is a two-story infill project in an existing opening to the buildings courtyard. The design creates an appropriate identity for the University of Arizona and is respectful of the Arthur Erickson architectural design of McClelland Hall. The program required open communication between the two story area but also quiet individual space for counseling and discussions. The design provides central gathering areas for collaborating and individual offices and conferencing spaces for one-on-one and group discussions. Daylighting is used throughout the facility for an open connection to the exterior and reduces lighting energy needs. Due to the required opening schedule, work needed to begin while the adjacent areas were occupied. GLHN is Architect and Engineer of Record with Gould Evans as Design Architect.
