Rogers House
Project Status: COMPLETED
Construction Start: February 2010
Completion: August 2010
Project Description & Statistics
Rogers House was named for Emma Winner Rogers, the wife of Henry Wade Rogers, Northwestern's president from 1890 to 1900. The building was designed by well-known architect James Gamble Rogers to provide housing for non-sorority women within the women's quadrangle. It opened in the fall of 1928.
The building has never undergone a comprehensive building-wide renovation. Prior to the current project, improvements have been made on an as-needed basis and included bathroom remodeling, fire alarm work, exterior masonry restoration, and limited interior restoration.
The current project includes new mechanical and life safety systems, a new heating and ventilation system, and new electrical, plumbing, and fire alarm systems.
Rogers House will be the first green residence hall on campus, with a goal of receiving silver-level certification from the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System®.
The building will be ADA accessible, with a new ramp from the courtyard at the north
