ASUW Shell House Renovation
About the Project
The ASUW Shell House is undergoing a historic renovation to create a modern community space while restoring the vibrant history of the structure.
This 100+ year old building will undergo structural and aesthetic upgrades, window replacement and refurbishment, new feature stairs and elevator, landscaping improvements, and upgraded electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems.
Key Upcoming Events:
- The Ship Canal Trail will continue to be closed off to the public through March,
opening back up in July 2026. - March will see a continuation of interior structural upgrades at the foundation level.
Activities include soil excavation and shoring activities. - Exterior sheathing will continue with roofing activities to follow.
- March is the start of some exterior underground mechanical and electrical systems
which will connect to the inside of the building. Interior excavation for footings and
underground electrical will begin this month. - The building will continue to produce historic salvage material, being stored for reuse
at the end of the project.
