This project renovating two buildings from the early 1900s required significant interior and exterior renovations to provide space for faculty and staff offices, conference/meeting rooms, classrooms, computer labs, data storage, and support areas. As both buildings have historical significance, the original characteristics of the building were retained. The work on Oxley Hall included new framing for mechanical work and reframing deteriorated roof areas.

SMBH designed the 19,000 SF new library based on simple, open, and transparent public reading areas with nearby services and meeting rooms. The interior design is extremely flexible, enabling the library to quickly change the facility configuration to the community's needs. The roof structure has several inclined planes with openings carved in the roof over exterior plazas and entrances, and three skylights carved into the roof above interior spaces. The exterior cladding is a glass curtain wall, maximizing the available light in the space.

This project, completed in two phases, involved the renovation of the dining and food service facilities housed within the building on the South Green. Additional skylights, a revised front entry, increased banquet space, and a new mezzanine for mechanical equipment are included in the project. The structural challenges included the expansion of the existing mechanical mezzanine within the attic space and removing two existing columns to provide unobstructed sightlines in the enlarged banquet room. Four roof trusses were modified in place without removing the existing roof to accomplish the column removal. The project also included the removal of two columns, a new entry with a ramp and steps, and a new loading dock.
