In the News: Grinnell College Norris Hall Renovation Spotlight

The Weitz Company is proud to have played a key role in the award-winning renovation of Norris Hall, that has become a standout on Grinnell's North Campus. In just six months, Weitz revitalized the building into a vibrant, accessible space tailored to meet the needs of today's students.

The project includes highlights such a new glass entry tower housing an elevator, stairwell, and social lounges on each floor, new common areas with modern furnishings and improved natural light, and redesigned bathrooms and an expanded communal kitchen.

Mechanical upgrades, new windows, air conditioning, and a refreshed color palette helped transform Norris from a dark, dated space into a vibrant student hub. As Rick Whitney, Assistant Vice President for Facilities Management at Grinnell, noted, "It's a completely different building, inside and out."

The project received the Masters Award at the Master Builders of Iowa Winter Conference, honoring exceptional collaboration and craftsmanship. Read the full article featuring this renovation here.
