Encompassing 240,000 SF, the complex upgrade of Washington State University’s Compton Union Building is the largest renovation project in WSU history. Since opening in 2008, the CUB has provided a vibrant new center for campus life, with amenities including wireless internet access, increased meeting space, an upgraded and relocated bookstore, and a multitude of new food and service vendors. Work also included a new auditorium packed with advanced technological features, a new ballroom and integration with the campus library that provides 24-hour access. Responding to the project’s heart-of-campus location, Hoffman’s approach placed intense focus on safety and logistics planning.
