University of Mary Washington, Mercer Hall and Woodard Hall

Mercer Hall was expanded to accommodate the university’s growing academic needs and features a computer lab, a vivarium, breakout rooms, a student lounge, and administrative and storage spaces. The three-story addition is contextually appropriate for the Georgian campus and preserved the facility’s historic status.

Woodard Hall originally served as the campus’s student center, but was repurposed to address a shortage of learning, meeting, and administrative space. A two-story addition was featured in the building’s updated design, as well as a new entrance and outdoor spaces. The updated facility includes a variety of classrooms, including tiered and lecture formats, computer labs, student lounge, collaborative breakout spaces, as well as administrative and support spaces.
