LeMoyne Owen College - Brownlee Hall

LeMoyne Owen College is an inner-city, 4-year educational institution of higher learning and accredited nationally as a Historically Black College & University or HBCU. As an HBCU, LeMoyne is an ongoing source of first-rate education & development for all students in the mid-south, regardless of race. As a campus landmark, the Brownlee Hall Administration building was designed & built in 1936 in the Colonial Revival Style and was listed by the U.S. Department of Interior in 2005 as a ‘contributing structure’ of the greater LeMoyne Owen College District in the National Register of Historic Places. Since 2006 Brownlee Hall has undergone a series of accessibility improvements with assistance from Title III funding of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Self+Tucker Architects has been engaged with the university from the beginning, assisting with historical landmark status, design & construction administration as funding becomes available. These photos represent Phases 3 & 4 covering office and classroom upgrades & additions, hardware upgrades to doors & frames and fire alarm system improvements meeting ADA compliance. New finishes were provided for the first floor public areas such as the Main Entry Corridor, Lobby, Conference and Presidential Suite on the first floor level.
