A Special Feature of DJC.COM Sept. 14, 2012

HUB gets a reboot for the 21st century Renovation updates the structure and layout, making way for the latest mechanical, electrical, lighting and audiovisual systems. By RYAN BUSSARD and SCHEER CHAN Perkins+Will A renovation that also keeps the past alive Familiar sights such as the main entrance and a 1950s mural were preserved, while materials in other parts of the building were reused in inventive ways. By DON KOWALCHUK Skanska Reusing HUB structure saves money and history 3-D structural modeling enabled team members to streamline their coordination of complex tasks and limit change orders. By CORY HITZEMANN Coughlin Porter Lundeen HUB rehab goes beyond the walls The landscape for the Husky Union Building has been designed with the ambition to be a living, breathing system that provides a venue for students to interact, govern, eat or play.
