The Project
<p>Originally built in the 1960’s, Wilson Hall housed the Academy’s Science Department and the Ong Library. Welty performed a complete interior renovation to Wilson Hall and a demolition and reconstruction of the greenhouse attached to the building. The renovation updated the existing physics and chemistry classrooms and laboratories and the lower floor lecture hall into new state-of-the-art facilities. Other improvements included new laboratory casework, fume hoods, an elevator, an HVAC system and a fire protection system. New slate and hardwood floors revitalized the lobby and lounge as well as the custom maple trim installed throughout the building. These details have set the standards of quality of finish for future improvements at Western Reserve Academy.</p>
