UNC Asheville Delaney Hall

The UNC Asheville Delaney Hall (formerly Carmichael Hall) project consisted of 27,663 sf of heavy renovations of an existing 1966 building. The programming of the building remained Management and Accountancy and Psychology. Vannoy was selected as Construction Manager at Risk and preconstruction efforts consisted of extensive research into the requirements of the building to be reinvigorated and better connect with the campus. Based on a limited budget from the University, Vannoy and the design team worked to help the client budget and prioritize the project scope, helping to categorize items between needs, wants, and “wish list” with assigned dollar values and time frames.

UNC Asheville Owen Hall Addition & Renovations

The UNC Asheville Owen Hall project consisted of a 5,000 sf addition and 56,200 sf of heavy renovations to the existing 1985 building. The programming of the building remained Art History and Art Studios (3D Printing, Photography, Paint, Ceramics, Sculpture, Metalworks, etc.). The heart of the revised floorplan is a new three-story atrium entrance with a skylight that adds substantial daylight throughout the facility and features galleries on each level. A relocated kiln yard and new sculpture park dynamically change the relationship between this building and its surroundings and create a new sense of place.

Wilkes Community College – Ashe Campus Classroom & Lab

This CM at Risk project included the construction of two buildings consisting of 36,366 sf. The Classroom & Lab (28,088 sf) and Cosmetology Building (8,278 sf) include general classrooms, health science labs, a cosmetology lab, faculty offices and administrative/student support areas.

Virginia Tech – New Upper Quad Residence Hall

This project’s site is at the southeast corner of Stanger Street and Old Turner Street where an existing facility, Femoyer Hall, is currently located. Femoyer Hall is an approximately 35,000 sf facility constructed in 1949 and originally designed as a residence hall; it will be demolished as part of this project. Given the constraints of the existing site, the building footprint and orientation of NUQRH will be two wings, the North wing running East to West, and the West Wing running North to South. The project shall provide a strategy for the site and landscape design that allows for fire truck access, locates dumpsters for cadet use, and includes bike racks, ADA parking considerations, and a review of pedestrian-vehicular site lines. Significant grade challenges exist at the west side of the site between the building and Stanger Street, this project shall provide an accessible route to the Upper Quad from the intersection of Stanger and Old Turner streets.
