Wood Hall is the first phase of the five –phase renovation of Windsor Residence Halls at Purdue University’s West Lafayette, Indiana campus. Wood Hall, which opened in 1939 as “C” Hall was the third hall constructed and houses all of the main offices and back-of-house spaces for the entire Windsor complex. Cheaper by the Dozen author Lillian Gilbreth was a notable Wood Hall resident. The design focuses on highlighting the building’s historic features through updated finishes while providing improved accessibility and completely modern HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. The building’s original historic lighting is restored and all the oak and poplar woodwork refinished. The living room features bookcases and a stone fireplace surrounded by newly reupholstered furniture in a fresh purple and green color palette. The original open basement offers a younger, more modern feel in the student lounge and TV room. Bright blues and orange paint, furniture with clean, simple lines and fresh, modern lighting update the feel of the building without detracting from its past.
