Elon University’s Johnston Hall, which was originally constructed in 1926 as an orphanage, is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic places. The goal of this renovation project was to transform the building into the new Elon University Alumni Building.

The comprehensive renovation included elevator upgrades, new interior finishes, mechanical/HVAC upgrades, and accessibility and code remediations.

This project received the Gertrude S. Carraway Award of Merit from the Historic Preservation Foundation of North Carolina.
