Hall stairwell and terrace redesign
Work on a new exit stairwell and renovated terrace will improve use of the Henry F. Hall Building for courses, student activities and campus life.
Timeline
- Winter 2024 to July 2026: Construction
Overview
Facilities Management must build a new exit stairwell as part of ongoing work to increase the Henry F. Hall Building’s capacity. The measure is required for safety and compliance with building code.
Beyond these essential upgrades, the project also provides an opportunity to redesign and enhance the Hall terrace. The work also includes targeted interior interventions on the fourth, sixth and seventh floors — ranging from functional alterations required to accommodate the new stairwell to the creation of a new student-focused space on the fourth floor.
Goals
- Compliance with building code and safety regulations
- Improved circulation within the Hall Building
- Transforming the terrace into a more accessible, aesthetic and useful space
- Enhancing interior spaces to better support student services and daily use
- Integration of Indigenous design into the terrace
Updates
Following temporary relocations required to accommodate construction, the Student Success Centre and the Sexual Assault Resource Centre have now returned to newly refreshed and functional spaces in the Hall Building.
The project included alterations and renovations to the foruth, sixth and seventh floors to support the new exit stairwell and improve adjacent areas. With this work now complete, several services are now operating in upgraded environments designed to better serve the Concordia community:
- Student Success Centre has returned to H-745
- Sexual Assault Resource Centre has returned to H-649
- Espace Franco has moved into H-645
