EMU set to begin work on Pray-Harrold renovation in spring

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 | Source: Concentrate
Construction crews are gearing up to start work on the Pray-Harrold Building at Eastern Michigan University.

Work on the $42 million renovation project is expected to begin this spring. Construction workers will be replacing many of the core systems in the building, such as electrical and mechanical. This will be the first significant work done on the building since it was built in 1969.

The university also wants to make the building more compliant with the American Disabilities Act. Furthermore, it is planning to make the 237,000-square-foot structure more sustainable, pursuing LEED certification. Work is expected to wrap up in the fall of 2011.

The building houses offices for EMU's College of Arts & Sciences.
