OVERVIEW
The Carolyn Tanner Irish Humanities Building is a new steel structure housing the Tanner Humanities Center, the Department of History, the International Studies Center, and the Philosophy Departments on the University of Utah campus.
With multiple stakeholders and a restricted campus location, Gramoll’s preconstruction services set the stage for a smooth construction process and the desired outcomes, including on-time delivery in spite of design changes. This facility was redesigned just prior to construction to include a fourth floor that was needed for additional faculty and staff. The resulting facility was constructed with a glass stair tower with glass railings, treads and landings visible from the exterior. The unique design uses shading devices on the glazing system for increased efficiency and underground stormwater retention basins. The project also includes an outdoor plaza and labyrinth with radiant heating/snowmelt for year-round use.
