WSU Lindquist Hall Social Science Building Renovation

The WSU Lindquist Hall project (formerly known as the Social Science Building) was a massive 119,323-sf renovation that started with stripping the existing 1970s structure to its reinforced concrete frame and foundation. The scope included construction for architectural program modifications and enhancements, extensive seismic structural upgrades, replacement of the building façade, complete replacement and/or upgrading of mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire suppression systems, and a new three-story main entrance lobby. The goal was to retain the classic nature of the original building by keeping the overall footprint and form of the building, but also modernizing the interior so that the building will function better for future generations of students. The completed four-story building houses 34 classrooms, 10 different suites for department offices, with 72 faculty offices and six adjunct office areas, a testing center, student study spaces on each floor, three computer rooms, and a 150-seat lecture hall. Lindquist Hall is a LEED Silver certified building.
