"Our 2019 renovation of Rodgers Hall aimed to incorporate modern systems and
materials while harmoniously showcasing the building’s historic qualities,”
said Mark Baker, principal architect of Baker Architecture + Design. “Modern
interiors highlight architect John Gaw Meem’s original building details and
Lloyd Moylan’s historic murals as key elements of place and identity in
Rodgers Hall ... In previous Rodgers Hall alterations, this impressive
fresco mural became obscured by inadequate lighting and surrounding
furnishings. It was important for the architects and Highlands to recapture
the drama and importance of this mural in the latest design."*
