Renovation Plans

Lewis Hall Renovation Timeline

The architects from Mithun expect to accomplish these goals for us during the renovation of Lewis Hall:

  • Consolidate the iSchool, strengthen its identity, and support its spirit and future
  • Design state-of-the-art spaces that foster community and promote a highly collaborative environment
  • Support strong connections to Roosevelt Commons and Online students
  • Thoughtfully consider improvements for circulation and accessibility on the Lewis Hall site that are consistent with the University of Washington Master Plan
  • Design wisely and sustainably
  • Reestablish a meaningful connection to Clark Hall (Lewis Hall's sister building, built as a Women's dormitory in the same year).
