With Radford University’s Reed and Curie Halls originally built in 1939 and 1971, respectively, both required renovations to provide the College of Science and Technology with additional academic and administrative space to meet the current and future needs of faculty and students.
Waller Todd & Sadler, a fully owned subsidiary of Woolpert, provided architecture, interior design, and construction phase services for this project, uniting the two buildings visually to create one cohesive space while preserving the campus setting and historic features.
Renovations encompassed existing labs, classrooms, office facilities, student support areas, a cybersecurity suite, and bathrooms. The team also replaced HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems.

Additionally, a 3,300-square-foot collaborative area with a two-story ceiling was added to better link the two halls and eliminate a circulation choke point.
Thanks to these efforts, Radford gained updated facilities, increased space for new departments, and a centralized on-campus science experience for students, ultimately expanding the possibilities for collaboration.
