Kutztown University Deatrick Hall Renovations

Deatrick Hall is named in memory of William Wilberforce Deatrick (1853-1925), who spent the majority of his years at Kutztown as the chair of the English department. Many of Deatrick's photographs of campus tell the story of the institution from the early 1900s. In addition to faculty meeting spaces and SMART conference rooms, a satellite office for the Center for Achievement and Success (CASA) is available for residents to use. Residents living in this hall will also enjoy laundry facilities on each floor, as well as computers available in lounges.

Muhlenberg Greene Architects was commissioned to renovate Kutztown University’s  Deatrick Hall Dormitory. The alterations included mechanical and electrical upgrades to the building, interior alterations to provide a new lobby layout, renovations to the laundry room, improvements to the dorm rooms, major renovation of the resident director’s quarters, and upgrades to finishes, doors, and hardware throughout the building.

Exterior improvements included the replacement of all entrances, installation of new windows around the building, stair tower window walls, partial roof replacement, and a new ramp at front entrance to provide accessibility for the building.
