CATEGORY: Major Renovations / Expansions
First Place
Housatonic Community College Lafayette Hall
Bridgeport, CT
The Lafayette Hall project at Housatonic Community College included a 4-story 47,732 sq ft addition and 28,400 sq ft renovations to existing academic spaces and central plant. The team included members from Housatonic Community College, Connecticut Board of Regents, Department of Construction Services, Amenta/Emma Architects, Newfield Construction, and Arcadis, working collaboratively from pre-design through closeout. The continuity and positive team culture propelled the project through several challenges including owner leadership changes, five phases of occupied construction, and a range of unforeseen conditions. The project team navigated through test obstacles to create a welcoming space and a new campus identity in the community.
