Sullivan Hall is a historic building on Seton Hill University’s campus in Greensburg, PA. The university engaged Indovina Associates to conduct a programming analysis aimed at renovating the interior while preserving the exterior.

​

The design concept capitalizes on the triple-height upper level, which currently houses sports courts for volleyball and basketball. By stacking classrooms, offices, and lounges within this volume, and allowing circulation to flow around the perimeter and bridge across to central spaces, the design creates an efficient and engaging environment.

​

The lower levels, formerly occupied by a swimming pool, will be transformed into a bookstore and café. The depth of the pool will be used to create stepped reading areas.

​

The design incorporates natural materials and maximizes natural daylighting to create an inviting space where students can comfortably work and study for extended periods
