Duke Gross Hall

Durham, NC
Lord Aeck Sargent

Originally abandoned and slated for demolition, a series of phased renovations have transformed Gross Hall into a vibrant community for interdisciplinary research and teaching. The creation of a new, multi-departmental “hub” in the heart of Duke’s campus brings together a diverse collection of schools and programs including Business, Public Policy, Law, and numerous departments within the School of Engineering. Renovations have addressed a variety of space types, including research and teaching space on the basement level, formal and informal social spaces throughout the “Energy Hub”, classrooms, project-based teaming spaces, faculty and staff offices, administration space and sky-lit atrium.
