Winter Break Refresh Work in McBain & Watt Halls
Columbia Housing capitalized on the reduced occupancy over winter break to upgrade communal spaces in McBain Hall and corridors in Watt Hall. The upgrades not only refresh and modernize the buildings, but also incorporate sustainability features like the use of recycled content.
McBain Hall: Kitchen Lounge & Corridor Upgrades
Kitchen lounges across every floor of McBain received new appliances, cabinets, furniture, and flooring, as well as fresh paint. Hallways received new carpet (over 15K square feet!) and fresh paint.
By choosing sustainable flooring products for this project, Columbia Housing reduced carbon emissions by 58 percent over the industry average - that's the carbon equivalent of seven acres of forest!

Watt Hall: Corridor Refresh
More than 7K square feet of carpet across Watt Hall hallways was replaced. Corridors also received new light fixtures and refreshed paint.
By choosing sustainable flooring products for this project, Columbia Housing reduced carbon emissions by 58 percent over the industry average - that's equivalent to keeping one car off the road for a whole year!
