Coburn Hall, which reopened in 2020 after undergoing an extensive $47 million renovation and restoration, has received an Accessible Design Award from the Boston Society for Architecture.

Led by CBT Architects, the Coburn renovation project included the creation of a universal path at the front of the South Campus building, which originally opened in 1897 as the home of the Lowell Normal School.

The project also included the addition of an accessible rear entrance and the installation of an elevator serving all four floors of the building, which is now home to the School of Education, the Psychology Department and 12 technology-enhanced classrooms.

The Boston Society for Architecture will present the honor at its awards gala on Jan. 27 in Boston.
