Originally built in 1942, Faith Hall was demolished down to the original 2’ thick monolithic granite walls. The deteriorated structural timber roof-framing system was replaced
with a structural steel and light gauge metal truss system. An intermediate elevated slab was added to create additional floor space on the main level along with studio space
in the newly created lower level. The exterior consists of new granite parapets and gables, including dormers, with cast stone accents, along with slate and copper roofing consistent
with the University’s gothic architecture. Now named for its most recent benefactor, J. Mack Robinson Hall contains faculty offices as well as classroom and studio space, along
with a state-of-the-art photography lab. Slate flooring, cast stone steps, maple wainscoating and fypon trim profiles accent the lobbies inside the cast stone vaulted entrances
with custom fabricated ornamental iron canopies.
