Statler Hall Entry Renovation Project Complete

October 26, 2014 // by Jason Henderson

The Statler Hall Entry Renovation has been opened-up since late August, but the interior work and all exterior finishes are now complete. Here are some final photos for the project, which began in early summer, and took out the western-facing 1987 arched limestone entryway to replace with a new limestone and glass-wrapped 450 square foot vestibule and expanded space on the second floor above. Photos throughout construction may be seen on the project category page.

General contracting services by Northland Associates out of Syracuse, NY, and design by KSS Architects out of Princeton, NJ, and M/E Engineering out of Syracuse, NY.

Statler Hall Entry Renovation Nearing Completion

September 16, 2014 // by Jason Henderson

Cornell’s $2.4 million Statler Hall Entry Renovation project seems to be nearing completion: the exterior limestone veneer facade sections are installed, and the second floor interior ductwork and mechanicals have been wrapped in insulation. Next up are final touches to the exterior- aluminum trim work between the glass curtain wall, roof fascia, stone base sill, bike racks, and the remainder of the interior finishes.

The design is by KSS Architects and M/E Engineering, and the project has been managed in-house by Cornell Facilities Services.
The renovation is intended to match the additions that have been completed on the eastern and southern sides: the Beck Center along the eastern side (Phase One Expansion), and the renovated auditorium tower on the southern side (Phase Two expansion). KSS Architects designed both the Beck Center and the Tower Renovation

Statler Hall Entry Nearing Completion

August 22, 2014 // by Jason Henderson

Cornell’s $2.4 million Statler Hall Entry Renovation is wrapping-up, as work crews finished hanging glass on the curtain wall, all exterior framing, graded and poured cement walkway, stone walls, stone base facade, and metal facade panels this past week. The new entry houses an expanded ground floor entry vestibule, additional second floor space, and significant mechanical and HVAC upgrades. The design was done by KSS Architects, whom completed the designs for the previous Beck Center and Statler Auditorium and Tower Renovations. The original limestone-clad building was completed in 1949.

Statler Hall Entry Renovation Early August

Updated photos here from August 3rd and August 6th for Cornell’s Statler Hall Entry Renovation project that has been going on this summer (infill project for a new 450 square foot vestibule and also second floor space above). At this pace, I’m sure a lot more has been done since the time this is posted: the exterior wall framing looks to have been completed by the end of July, along with fiberglass sheathing around the support wall and side wall. The interior shows rapid HVAC and electric installation, and the glass curtain wall has been assembled well beyond halfway in the span of about four days. Design by KSS Architects, and project being managed in-house by Cornell Facilities Services.
