Gladfelter Hall

Temple University

Philadelphia, PA

Our team led the renovation of the hallways and lobbies at Temple University’s Gladfelter Hall and Anderson Hall. The 10-story buildings’ lobbies and corridors were uninviting, dark, and the finishes were in need of updating. One of the big challenges in Gladfelter was to provide new lighting in the hallways, which, with their low ceilings full of mechanical equipment, provided no opportunity to raise them. Our Design Team brightened up the halls with new lights and acoustical ceilings while making the height of the space feel comfortable and welcoming.

In Gladfelter, we also replaced all the doors, floor finishes and provided a new paint scheme. The lobbies received new lighting as well as wood paneling, which added a softness to the space.
