Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Harrington Auditorium

Worcester, MA

Harrington Auditorium, built in 1968, is home to WPI men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The 3,000-seat auditorium required some upgrades and renovations to make a better space for future WPI sporting events and activities.

GRLA developed workable solutions for updated finishes, lighting fixtures, and restrooms. Our team provided sche­matic design through construction documents, and phased construction for a new hung ceiling system, suspended scaf­folding system, and a new wall finish system. The age of the building required an overhaul to comply with Massachusetts Accessibility requirements as well as updating both the emergency power and fire sprinkler systems.
