PROJECT COST: $3,378,773

DATE OF COMPLETION: January 2021

VergesRome Architects was selected to complete the 19,539 square foot renovation of the Howard Tilton Memorial Library basement to the relocated and expanded Testing and Tutoring Centers. Flooding of the Howard Tilton Memorial Library Basement has been an issue for years. In the recent build-out of the basement classrooms, Goldman Testing Center, and the Tutoring Center, flood mitigation systems were implemented to help prevent future flooding. Furthermore, interior finishes and furniture were carefully selected to withstand the effect of water damage in the event of future flooding. It was also important that the new interiors be designed in keeping with the overall design direction of the modern additions to the campus.
