Bishop-Favrao Hall
1345 Perry St.
Bishop-Favrao Hall serves the facility needs of the Department of Building Construction and the Myers-Lawson School of Construction. The building houses administrative and faculty offices and provides classroom space, seminar rooms, and studios.Ìý
The building itself was designed to be a teaching tool. The structural elements that are usually hidden behind walls and ceiling panels in other buildings are exposed and labeled. That means Â鶹´«Ã½ can clearly see the structures they are studying in use. All public spaces and all offices have exposed ceilings to allow Â鶹´«Ã½ and visitors to see the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical systems.
