Located in the central core of the campus, the South Gardner Hall Renovation is a comprehensive renovation of 96,000 Sq. Ft. of research laboratory, teaching laboratory and office space for the departments of Genetics, Microbiology, Plant Pathology and Entomology. The project's scope includes modernization of the mechanical, electrical, and laboratory systems as well as building accessibility deficiencies and pedestrian connections. The complex renovation was phased as the building remained occupied during construction.

In addition to the interior project scope, the need for an accessible entry provided an opportunity to create a new main entry and interior/exterior public space for the building. A floating canopy, independent of the existing building structure, floats above the accessible ramp and entry. This canopy cantilevers out over the existing campus pedestrian path to provide a visual marker for the new main entry.
