Gonzaga humanities building to undergo $2.5 million renovation

Gonzaga University’s humanities building will undergo a $2.5 million renovation, according to permits issued by the city.

The work at 1106 N. Astor St. will include partial renovation, repair and upgrades to the 40,000-square-foot, three-story structure.

The work comes amid a building boom on campus. This week, the Jesuit university received city approval to build a $48 million science and engineering building near the campus’ Arthur Lake. The university recently built the $24 million Volkar Center for Athletic Achievement and the $13 million Della Strada Jesuit Community residential building. Work on the $30 million, 57,000-square-foot Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center is anticipated to be completed next year.

Walker Construction is the humanities building project’s general contractor. Design work was done by Integrus Architecture.
