The first directive was to preserve the original 1927 structure with minimal visual alterations. The second requirement was to expand the campus from about 100,000 sf to 300,000 sf. The third was to preserve and maintain the large, oak-filled front lawn between the original building and street. Clearly, to triple the size of the facilities within a small, landlocked campus would be difficult even without the scrutiny of a passionate and very vocal group of alumni and concerned citizens.
