Fenn Hall 4th floor Research Labs

Scope of Work: The Fenn Hall Façade & Labs project kicks off Phase 1 of the broader Biomedical Discovery Complex. Originally constructed in 1924 as an automobile showroom and service department. It was purchased by Fenn College and substantially renovated in 1959. For over half a century, Fenn Hall has provided training for area engineers and provided Fenn College--and now Cleveland State University--with much-needed engineering spaces that CSU hopes to continue to expand. The scope of this project includes critical repairs and improvements to the building’s East and West façades, which are currently in significant disrepair. In addition to the exterior upgrades, CSU intends to renovate portions of the building’s 4th floor to create new state-of-the-art spaces that support biomedical research and enhance CSU’s recruitment and retention of students and faculty.
