Morris Hall, University of Central Missouri renovated by McCownGordon

The project included the renovation of an existing science building that houses, Applied Science, Chemistry, mathematics and computer science. The renovation consisted of converting and updating existing laboratories bringing these laboratories up-to-date with educational practices and safety.

The Morris Hall renovation included updating offices, a greenhouse, lecture halls, chemistry and biological laboratories, mathematics and computer science laboratories. In addition, the building used corridors as the return air plenum and these were replaced with more standard practices.
