Buell Hall Dormitory Renovation, Eastern Michigan University

One of Eastern Michigan University's oldest student dormitories, Buell Hall is also the most popular and filled to capacity each year. It was selected for major interior renovations to create the largest impact among students.

Every room within the dorm was completely gutted and remodeled with new walls, ceilings, paint, floor coverings, tile and lighting fixtures. Modern information technology and computer networking were installed in every room. New fire suppression features were added to further protect students.
