From the 2025 Educational Interiors Showcase: Georgia Institute of Technology, Howey Physics Lecture Halls
Highlights
- Upgrades include new finishes, seating, and modernized mechanical, electrical, lighting, and AV systems.
- Design improvements enhance accessibility and overall user experience within the historic spaces.
The vision for renovating these 1967 lecture halls in the Howey Physics Building at Georgia Tech in Atlanta transforms these spaces beyond traditional lecture-style teaching. By making minor adjustments to the stepped concrete floors and carrying out simple design shifts, the four lecture rooms will support small-group collaboration and an active learning curriculum. Upgrades include new finishes, seating replacement, accessibility improvements and modernized mechanical, electrical, lighting and AV systems. Key challenges included balancing the budget with campus user needs and carefully phasing construction to minimize disruption.
