The new addition is a three-story, steel-framed structure including a new three-stop traction elevator, a machine room on the first floor, an ornamental stair, and open lobby/seating space at each floor level. The addition is located on the north side of Davis Hall centered around two existing precast columns, with new rooftop mechanical equipment included to condition the new spaces. The architecture maximizes natural light with the use of a glazed curtainwall system.
