Hello, I'm Kevin Durkin and I was the project representative for the Hubbard Hall Renovation.
Ok we are here at Hubbard Hall and we are going to take a walk inside and do a virtual
tour of the project that took place this summer.
Ok, we are in the North Lobby of Hubbard Hall.
In this area we basically did a number of architectural things; lightening the walls,
refinishing the floors, new carpet, painting the ceiling and we've redone the lobby desk
giving a more inviting area to the students coming in.
You'll see as we go through a lot of the metal panels that are up on the wall, those are
for information for the students and those are to be used with magnets to help alleviate
some of the wear and tear that goes on.
Here at Hubbard there will be a beta project going on that will introduce some of the new
digital signage, to be used by RHS, for different items whether it's things going on in the
Hall or menus that will be used in the new Spartys Store.
You'll see that we have new lighting in this area and we did new painting.
The painting is updated for the students.
As we move in here, this is another meeting place for the students, that could both be
used for APS computers as well as a general seating area that's overflow from the Spartys.
We put in this new glass wall to make this a somewhat quiet area, we have a T.V. and
comfortable seating for the students.
Some of the architectural details to modernize are the open ceiling as well as the wood clouds
that we've put up here.
Over in this area we're moving into more general seating area, studying, students getting together.
Following that into the background we have the gaming area, three 52 inch T.V.s put up
that students can bring their own Xbox or PS3.
Alright, and again more meeting rooms.
In the background here we've had some murals put up throughout the building just to add
some architectural detail for the students.
We're now moving into the bulk of the renovation at Hubbard.
On this side we had two classrooms that now have been opened up into the engagement area.
On this side it started as a regular Spartys Store, now been opened up.
On this side basically these will be made into staff offices for people who are working
the Engagement area, whether it is tutoring or counseling, whatever RHS may be setting
up.
As we come back through here, again more architectural detail.
Small area for students to meet.
We have put in some lockers for students that want to lock up their stuff and be able to
use the different meeting rooms and cubicles that are placed here in the engagement area.
We are now in the new updated Spartys store, as they are throughout campus.
Students come in and get whatever snacks or drinks they may need.
As we move to the back we have the new grill area.
This is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner part of the combo exchange can be used here.
As we move around we do have more seating.
New architectural details trying to draw the students in.
The booth area, just making it more appealing to the students that are here.
In this area we are looking more at the quiet area.
Students can come here study and get together in small groups.
We have T.V.s throughout.
As part of the Art on Campus Initiative we had artwork put in.
We have a new student health services, part of the clinical center here on campus.
It's one of the first that it's been done on campus for students here so they can come
in during the day.
As part of the Be Spartan Green initiative, basically what we have done here as well as
the north side, is set-up a recycling area.
We've set it up so that students can come and grab their mail and then come right over
to this side and any of the trash that they don't want they can just take care of it right
away.
I hope you have enjoyed are tour of north and south Hubbard Hall.
Go Spartans!
