King & Scales Dormitories, Smith College

Higher Education, Historic Preservation

Location: Northampton, MA

On this stately building, the new barrel-vaulted entrance roofs and new window had to look like they’d been built in 1930, and the expanded dining room had to uphold its grand tradition. Every renovated space, including corridors and lounges, elevators, 144 dormitory rooms, a new commercial kitchen and dining facilities, now function easily and comfortably. The historic renovation included a complete replacement of existing mechanical, electrical, fire alarm and sprinkler systems in a manner compatible with existing finishes.
