Woolpert has worked with Miami University since 2001, supplying civil engineering and landscape architecture services for a variety of projects. The university is investing in its vibrant learning environment by comprehensively integrating contemporary amenities, while maintaining the coherent, iconic look that defines the beautiful, historic campus."
"These residence halls were built at varying times over the years, yet maintained similar structural frame systems.

"For Scott and Minnich, we cut holes in the floor to provide a new elevator shaft, added new areaways for louvers, support frames for mechanical units in attic, new ADA ramps and converted a crawl space into a full height basement space for storage and mechanical systems," Monastra said. Woolpert Structural Engineering Manager Frank Monastra said ensuring Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and updating architectural and mechanical systems at each building to meet a consistent design standard have been key aspects of these projects. "Students today have much higher expectations of their living spaces than in the past, and these renovations give them just that." "The work GBBN and Messer are doing to these buildings with Woolpert is focused on preserving the Neo-Georgian architecture of the campus, but it is also helping to keep the university competitive," GBBN Senior Associate Andrew Plogsted said. These renovation projects are valued at a combined $50 million and will be completed using design-build project delivery. Schematic design for the renovations at Stanton Hall, on the South Quad, are in progress, and that residence hall is scheduled to be completed in 2020. Scott Hall and Minnich Hall, which are on university's Central Quad, began the renovation process in 2016 and reopened for students this month. These updates are part of the Miami University 2020 Plan, unveiled in 2012, which outlines enhancements throughout the university from academics to culture to infrastructure. Woolpert was contracted by GBBN Architects, who was hired by Messer Construction, to improve site work, architectural finishes and details, life safety features, better access and functionality and energy-efficient mechanical systems to Scott, Minnich and Stanton halls.
