DCI+MACINTOSH Engineers designed one new residential building and renovated the student center with a new expansion for Goldey-Beacom College. William A. Franta Hall is a new five-story, 48,000-sf student residence hall equipped to house 152 students. Joseph West Jones Center is a one-story facility with 7,000-sf of renovated space for a modern kitchen and dining area to accompany their student lounge. Also added to the facility was a two-story, 7,000-sf fitness center with new weight training equipment and more locker rooms.
DCI+MACINTOSH Engineers designed the framing systems for both buildings. They detailed the building interfaces in the Joseph West Jones Center where new building elements met with existing ones.
