Document Description
San Francisco State University is proceeding with minor interior alterations to existing space on the east half of the 8th floor of Hensill Hall, an academic building housing classrooms, faculty, staff and administrative offices on the main campus. The purpose of the Project is to renovate approximately 10,550 SF, and convert these spaces to traditional lecture style classrooms, including light/power and data, as well as accessibility upgrades. Also, the existing greenhouse glazed roof will be replaced with a system that provides enhanced solar gain, glare control, and improved thermal insulation. The Project will advance the educational mission of the California State University in general and benefit the San Francisco campus in particular.
