Noelker and Hull provided architectural and interior design services for a two-story, 6,390-square-foot addition to Gettysburg College’s existing admissions building, Eisenhower House.
The new welcome center is used for recruiting prospective students and student interviews, and it addresses the need for additional reception space and dedicated presentation space by providing an auditorium with a Liquid Crystal Display wall and flexible seating for 50 to 60 people on the first floor.
On the second floor, which is accessible by an elevator as well as stairs, four smaller rooms are used for interviews and information counseling for potential students and their families.
The new facility offers the College additional function space where large groups can gather. When not in use as a recruitment facility, the Welcome Center is a site for social gatherings and special events. An exterior patio, which offers terrace granite seating, is accessible from the first floor meeting room for seasonal outdoor use.
The modern, interior finishes include porcelain tile floors and walls, custom fabricated tile floor inlay, wood paneled walls and ceilings, and exposed brick of the original Eisenhower House, which President Eisenhower lived in for a period of time following his military career.
The facility exemplifies the excellence of the College and creates a strong first impression to incoming students and families visiting the campus. It now serves as the “front door” to the Gettysburg College campus.
