Project - Andrews University

Andrews University was established in 1874. For over a century, the university has strategically developed a campus rich with historical buildings nestled in a wooded environment. So when they decided to expand their center for many of their Arts and Sciences departments, the university hired the Troyer Group of Mishawaka, Indiana to design what would become Buller Hall, which would include an amphitheater-style classroom, a small chapel, a student lounge, academic departmental lobbies with fireplaces, and many classrooms. The Hall would act as an extension of their 60-year-old Nethery Hall. They needed to maintain the historical campus look while providing their students a bright, inviting, and comfortable place to learn. The door entrances also needed to look new and inviting, but with a historical flare. The design also needed to be energy efficient, but still allow natural light to fill the interior, creating an inviting place to learn and mingle. The combined efforts of Troyer Group, CSM Group of Kalamazoo (project Managers), Midwest Glass of Stevensville, Michigan, and Cross Aluminum completed this task by using our WS-500-FG and FL-400 series doors, T14000 series arched framing, glazed with insulated glass/muntins. The finish was a two coat Kynar 70% bone white finish.
