Utah State University Biology and Natural Resources Building Renovation: Best Project Higher Education/Research
This remodel gives new life to an old 1950s-era campus building by replacing the curtain wall and upgrading the mechanical and electrical systems to achieve better thermal comfort and improve energy efficiency.
The extensive remodel of the north wing also included a higher performance exterior skin. The addition of lobby space helps transform the dated building into a new home for students to collaborate. The entire renovation provided the Colleges of Science and Natural Resources with a desperately needed modernization that will help the university put undergraduate students in the best possible position to succeed academically and engage in meaningful research.
