Redesigned exterior provides a modern facade and accessible entrance at UCONN Engineering Building II

The Engineering Building II, located on the University of Connecticut’s main campus in Storrs, required an exterior façade improvement and a new accessible entrance.

The original corrugated aluminum façade had tarnished and fallen into disrepair, and a main entry stairway required persons with disabilities to use the building’s rear entrance.

The new design replaced the aluminum panels with brick, removed the exterior stair, and created a new glass-enclosed accessible lobby at grade.
