The Ellicott Welcome Center project includes the renovation of approximately 24,000 sf of existing interior space and exterior plaza space at the Ellicott Complex. The renovation will enhance the façade, exterior space, and interior wayfinding experience at the South side of the Fargo Quad to create a proper gateway from the academic spine into the residential Ellicott Complex. On the exterior, the project will consist of construction of a new canopy, exterior stairs to the plaza level, and enclosing a portion of the plaza level for circulation and gathering spaces. On the interior, the project will add a defined circulation path through the first level, onto the plaza level and will feature new Campus Living office space, various lounge areas, and a small marketplace.
Popli Design Group provided structural and civil engineering design services for the project. This technical tour will provide an overview of the design and construction challenges faced by the design team to achieve the project objectives.
