Project Description The Observatory is a historic resource for the university and present and beyond. Through this project an addition of addition maintains the historical character and setting of the surrounding community, but the lack in accessibility, classrooms, approximately 7,000 gross square feet was constructed to provide original observatory and provides a prominent street presence to restrooms, and support spaces have hindered the ability to be a a flexible multi-use classroom, a new entry and reception area, enhance the visibility while new ramps, an elevator and site destination linking the university’s history of scientific study to the restrooms, storage, and catering and support spaces. The new improvments provide much needed barrier free access.
