Seaver Hall South Renovation
Pomona College, Claremont, CA
Project Description: The project included a complete renovation of an existing 50 year old concrete building that needed all systems upgraded to accommodate new technologies, and a seismic upgrade for safety. The building was gutted to an empty shell while temporary systems kept the existing adjacent building's systems functional for use during the one-year of construction. Programing included spaces such as a new vivarium, introductory classrooms, research labs, lab instrument and preparation rooms, faculty offices, and a faculty lounge. The site surrounding the building was sculpted to visually link the adjacent Biology Building and Chemistry Building as well as provide pedestrian flow between all three science buildings.
