Project Goals

  • To renovate and expand laboratories, classrooms and office space while retaining the campus' historic look.

  • To create a Clean Room area serviced by a specially filtered supply air system designed to achieve high air quality requirements.













DuPont Hall, on the campus of the University of Delaware, is a three-story facility designed for the College of Engineering. The building features laboratories, clean rooms and offices. The addition was designed to retain the campus' historic look with a brick exterior, limestone steps, decorative cast cornice work, copper roofing and rain gutters and much more. Overhead service areas are featured in all of the labs, rendering them multi-purpose for the end-users. The overhead space in the labs contains lines for two to six gases as well as other services.

The rare Class 100 Photolithography Lab is a Clean Room classified cleaner than some universities and hospitals. With the attention to detail and historical relevance, DuPont Hall stands as one of the university's most revered buildings. The reconstruction to DuPont Hall fulfilled Pierre S. DuPont's original vision of the Green
