The 31,855 square-foot building is
located in the academic core of campus. New Hall is home to
the History, Foreign Languages, Classics, Women's Studies and Philosophy
departments, along with the Arts & Ideas and Humanities Programs and
the Office of Academic Conferences and Institutes.
New Hall offers an improved learning environment over older buildings,
with a focus on classrooms that are designed to be very quiet and
well-lit.
"Green" building design highlights include an innovative vegetative roof that minimizes rainwater runoff and provides a rooftop park
setting, and geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling, which is
both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Project architects were
Pearce, Brinkley, Cease & Lee
of Asheville and the General Contractor was H&M Construction of
Asheville.
