Schrenk Hall East Renovation
Executive Summary Project Goals
Project Drivers & Goals
The Schrenk East Renovation is the final step in the renewal Master Plan for the Schrenk complex. The primary project driver is to improve and increase research laboratory space to support the growth of both the Biological Sciences and Chemistry Departments at Missouri S&T, while improving teaching labs, office space, and the overall facility condition of an aging facility on campus. These improvements and the resulting growth in enrollment and retention will contribute to the University’s 2030 North Star Goals: Attain Carnegie R1 Classification, Grow enrollment to 12,000 students, and Achieve a Top 100 Ranking.
Project Goals
- Determine the Highest and Best Use of Schrenk East in context with current and future Biological Sciences and Chemistry buildings.
- Elevate and Reflect an R-1 University.
- Enhance the interdisciplinary collaboration between Biological Sciences and Chemistry Departments.
- Aspire to capture the essence of sustainability within reason.
- Flexible to adapt to future growth and support of faculty at a high level.

The program and concept plan works within the capacity of the existing Schrenk Hall East with a phased approach to accommodate partial occupancy during construction as well as cost. Research lab growth is the priority while maintaining the number of teaching labs and classrooms. The program represents growth in total from (8) Research Teams to (10) Research Teams in appropriately sized labs for anticipated team size.
The aging building is proposed to receive a significant infrastructure replacement. Each floor receives newly renovated corridors and ADA compliant ramps, new ADA compliant Gender-Neutral Restrooms, and new HVAC, Sprinklers, Electrical, and Plumbing throughout. Site and Exterior Renovations include ADA compliant entries, brick tuckpointing, window and roof replacement, and sidewalk replacements.
The new north entry to the building provides an accessible front door from a primary pedestrian pathway on campus. With direct connection and visibility to the Arrival District, Schrenk East Renovation will be an impactful new first impression to the Biological Sciences and Chemistry Departments.
