Constructed in 1895, Denny Hall is the oldest building on the Seattle campus and is listed in the Washington State Heritage Register. Denny Hall has been prioritized as part of the University’s ongoing “Restore the Core” renovation program to restore and modernize buildings in greatest need of renovation. The last major structural and interior renovation of this hundred year old building occurred 50 years ago in 1956.
The predesign study will include an extensive analysis of the programmatic capacity of Denny Hall, as well as an evaluation of the extent and nature of the renovation needs. The 899,745 gross square foot facility currently houses offices and programs for the College of Arts and Sciences, including the Departments of Anthropology, Classics, Germanics, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations as well as the College’s Language Learning Center. Denny also house 12,000 square feet of general assignment classrooms totaling 765 seats.
A full major building renovation is proposed to correct seismic, structural and life/safety code deficiencies, improving accessibility deficiencies to meet current ADA requirements; abating hazardous materials; cleaning, repairing and sealing exterior stone and masonry foundations; installing perimeter drainage; improving existing site landscape, and irrigation elements; and reconfiguring/replacing interior partitions, doors, hardware, finishes, and equipment to provided updated facilities for instructional programs.
In accordance with the requirements of the state of Washington, the project will be designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification or higher.
