Due to the very low headroom and moisture problems in the existing basement, the existing structure was raised on temporary supports while the basement was entirely removed. A new basement level was constructed at a lower elevation, to provide fully functional space.

The new structure will house undergraduate teaching spaces for the Anthropology and Archeology departments, dissection labs as well as five dry labs and support space. The main level contains the administrative offices, a large conference room, seminar space, and a number of faculty offices and workrooms. The spaces are fully interchan-geable to allow for the maximum amount of flexibility for the future needs of the department.
