Burrowes Building is in the first phase of a major renovation project.
The original 50,000-square-foot building was built in 1940 and was designed by Charles Klauder, the architect who designed many of the early, most memorable buildings in University Park’s core campus. North and south additions were added in the 1960s.
Burrowes Building has been well maintained. However, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are outdated or non-existent, windows are inefficient single-pane units and the electrical system is not adequate. Circulation among the core of the building and the additions is confusing and office space needs to be reconfigured.
