St. Anthony Hall - University of Pennsylvania

SITE PLAN S A I N T A N T H O N Y H A L L | U N I V E R S I T Y O F P E N N S Y LVA N I A The Delta Campaign • Make a contemporary upgrade to the Hall that reflects the evolving needs of today's student, including technological and structural advancements as well as how spaces are principally utilized. • Rewire the building to accommodate the wattage needed and used by our brothers, as well as replace and upgrade the existing light fixtures. • Maintain the interior historical spaces in the Hall to preserve our rich traditions and historical status. • Address maintenance concerns of the exterior envelope, which is recommended by MBTA to protect the building from water damage and improve energy efficiency. • Improve life-safety measures to ensure a safe and code-compliant living environment for our members. • Improve interior and exterior aesthetics to include the refurbishment of prominent common spaces in the building, as well as the rebalancing of the side yard and back garden. T he Delta Alumni Association engaged the professional services of Mark B. Thompson Associates LLC (MBTA) to complete a stewardship plan (asset replacement survey) and master plan to gauge the critical, mid-, and long-term needs of the Hall, as well as the projected life expectancy of every fixture, system, and finish in the building. Brother Mark Thompson D'62 is one of the leading historical preservation architects in the country and has completed projects at West Point, Chestnut Hill Academy, Choate Rosemary Hall, and Greenwich Country Day, to name a select few. His assessment revealed an urgent need to renovate and update the Hall—specifically the electrical and plumbing systems that have gone into default. We must act now to ensure a safe and functional home for our undergraduate members. • Restore the entrance marquee, which is a significant, character-defining piece of the original Cope and Stewardson building. • Waterproof the marquee roof as deferred maintenance has allowed water to wash down the face of the entrance façade, staining and eroding limestone pilasters. • Remove the existing roofing in its entirety and replace it with a new durable roofing system. • Replace the current insulation to improve energy efficiency. • Repair some of the masonry, including the foundation, due to water exposure on the north side of the house. Repair the limestone assembly at the north entrance façade, as well as cracks in the stone at the doors, sidelites, and transoms. • Repair and repaint the fire escape. • Review exterior landscape and rebalance the side yard and back garden.
