Nearly forty years old, McLeod Hall was the central facility for the School of Nursing until the opening of the new Claude Moore Nursing Education Building last year.

McLeod Hall consists of five core floors of offices and classrooms, two underground parking levels, and an auditorium. (The area of each core floor is 10,000 gsf.) The goal of this project was to renovate the five core floors in two phases: Phase I the first, fourth and fifth floors; Phase II the second and third floors. The phasing was based on the priorities of the School and the funding that was available.

A detailed programming study and an infrastructure assessment were completed and used as the basis for design of the renovation. The programming study determined the space requirements and the optimal locations for the classrooms, simulations labs, faculty and staff offices, and the various research centers located in McLeod. The infrastructure assessment evaluated building wide systems such as air and electrical distribution. Deficiencies were addressed both by this project and by on-going Maintenance Reserve projects.

Phase II of the project is on hold pending funding.
