Project Details
Architecture
- Tasks Under 10+ Year Centrally Held Open-End Contracts for Various Professional Services with Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education
- Renovations to Encourage Dixon University Center’s Role as PA State System of High Education’s “Campus Away from Campus”
- Classrooms Converted to Smart Classrooms for Teleconferencing and Distance Learning
In an effort to encourage its role as the System’s “campus away from campus,” the Dixon University Center (DUC) embarked on comprehensive renovations to three classroom and office buildings. Buchart Horn provided architectural, engineering, and IT design services to create aesthetic improvements, functional reconfigurations, and the creation of both Smart Classrooms (for teleconferencing and distance learning) and lounge space to accommodate the commuting student population in Duncan, Richards, and South Halls.
The work included replacing interior finishes and lighting, and providing appropriate provisions for data, AV, and telecommunications for the proposed new videoconference and Smart Classrooms. Buchart Horn’s interior designer provided assistance in DUC decision-making with regard to selections of furnishings.
