With more women entering into and being actively recruited for research and teaching positions in the sciences, the time had come to re-balance the rest room ratio that had been originally implemented in this 1950’s era building. The goal was to create clean, adequate rest rooms serving both sexes that at a minimum met the requirements of the ratios stipulated in the building code. This project also included rest rooms in the adjacent WNSL East building.

CWA undertakes numerous projects each year. Though not all of them are large, all are largely significant to us. Since we are here to solve problems with creativity and intelligence, there is as much interest and value in making a better mail station, improving a public corridor, or creating a space for groundbreaking research as there is in making a new building — and sometimes more. On these pages you’ll find a variety of spatial and other building issues addressed with the same CWA brand of resourceful and inspired design thinking that goes into larger projects.
