Cornell University — Schoellkopf Memorial Hall, Renovation and Addition
Ithaca, NY
Year in Showcase: 2007
Project Description
This project was initiated by Cornell
University to add new program
space to Schoellkopf Hall; completely
renovate the existing locker rooms,
offices, meeting rooms and Hall of Fame
Room; and replace outdated mechanical,
electrical and plumbing systems. The
additional space was required to accommodate
a larger varsity football locker
room, new mechanical equipment, seven
classrooms, new emergency egress stairs,
larger meeting rooms and toilets, and a
Tradition Room.
Schoellkopf Hall was constructed in
1914, at the north end of the football
stadium, and was the original home
for Cornell’s athletic program. The
distinguished “arts and crafts” style building
is a historically significant building on
the Cornell campus. Proposed options to
renovate and expand the existing building
were unacceptable to the university due
to the change in exterior appearance and
cramped space, so a new addition,
Friends Hall, was proposed.
The interior design of Schoellkopf Hall
involved the renovation of the sprint
football team locker room, equipment
storage room and coaches’ locker rooms
on the ground floor; the coaches’ offices
and meeting rooms on the second level;
and the construction of flexible classrooms
and work areas on the third floor.
