Crews take visitors on a tour of the construction site and demonstrate the expansive views from inside the building.
Hammerhead trusses that were hidden for years have been uncovered during renovations and will be integrated into the revitalized structure.
Considered the first modern chemical laboratory, Chandler-Ullmann Hall boasted large labs and chimneys that aided in the circulation of fresh air and the removal of fumes from experiments.
SouthSide Commons, a new five-story student living facility, rises at Brodhead and Packer avenues, while the historic Chandler-Ullmann Hall undergoes a major renovation. The projects are included in Lehigh’s expansive infrastructure initiative as part of the Path to Prominence.
SouthSide Commons will house 400-plus students in two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments and studio apartments.
Chandler-Ullmann’s renovation will highlight its heritage while providing contemporary academic space for the College of Arts and Sciences psychology and mathematics departments.
