Pfau Hall Renovation

This project includes the interior renovation of two areas within the 1970’s-era Pfau Hall. The first area included an 18,000 sf renovation for an expanded Health Science program for the College. Renovated spaces include a Medical Assisting Clinical Lab, Phlebotomy Lab, Respiratory Therapy Lab/EMT, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Lab, Dental Lab, Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) lab, Anatomy/Physiology Lab, Therapeutic Massage Lab, Faculty Office Suite, student study and collaboration spaces (called Focus Rooms), and a large, open Student Commons areas. Ivy Tech partnered with the US Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration and Baptist Health, a local healthcare provider, for this portion of the project. The advanced teaching labs at Ivy Tech Sellersburg will contribute to the much-needed growth in the region’s Health Science profession.

The second area of interior renovation included an 8,800 SF renovation for the Life and Physical Sciences program. Renovated lab spaces include Anatomy, Biology, Microbiology, and Chemistry labs. Each of the labs includes large laboratory prep areas with separate exhaust hoods and storage. Many of these labs existed previously within Pfau Hall, but this project relocated them to a central location and completely modernized the spaces.

Renovation to all areas included a new space / wall layout, all new finishes, new mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems (including HVAC systems and LED lighting throughout), new information technology infrastructure, and a new fire suppression system because the existing building was not sprinkled.
