MidAtlantic Construction was tasked with enclosing an existing cooling tower at Villanova University’s Mendel Hall to seamlessly integrate the structure into the campus’s iconic architectural style. The project addressed both functionality and aesthetics, creating a 22-foot-tall enclosure that wrapped around three sides of the cooling tower. The structure required extensive cast-in-place foundations and walls, reaching depths of up to 8 feet below ground, and a robust structural tube steel frame engineered to withstand significant wind loads.
The enclosure’s architectural finishes were meticulously crafted to reflect Villanova’s distinctive design standards. These included a stone veneer system consistent with the campus aesthetic, curtain wall with metal screening, cast stone capstones, and a precast concrete Villanova University seal prominently featured at the center of the wall. The result was a visually cohesive and functional addition that enhanced the campus environment while maintaining its signature style.
