Living/Learning Center: Rehabilitation of Campbell Hall

Campbell Hall at Agnes Scott College, originally built in 1951 as a science building, has been transformed into an innovative living-learning community. The rehabilitation combines state-of-the-art academic and instructional facilities with semi-suite-style rooms for 96 students. The building now includes classrooms, learning centers, an auditorium, and collaboration spaces, reflecting a near 50/50 split between residential and academic use. Sustainable design was a key focus, incorporating a hybrid geothermal HVAC system and LEED Gold Certification. This renovation is part of the College’s new residential sector plan to upgrade key facilities in anticipation of enrollment growth, providing a modern, vibrant hub for student activity and learning.
