Experience: Service: Fire Protection & Life Safety Code Consulting

Champlain College – Freeman Joyce Hall Renovation

Designed as a strategic enabling project to support the growth of Champlain College’s academic STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) programs, the Freeman Joyce Hall renovation transformed key instructional spaces into modern, collaborative environments. The project included the renovation of Freeman Joyce Hall’s ground floor, featuring a refreshed science “damp” lab and a new cyber range computer lab to support emerging areas of study. The building’s ground floor was also updated with renovated classrooms, including a computer lab, photography lab, and a flexible teaching space.

Code Red Consultants served as the fire protection, life safety, and accessibility code consultant on the project. Our team was primarily responsible for developing the Code Report and conducting design reviews to evaluate the proposed work for compliance with key fire protection, life safety, and accessibility requirements outlined in the report. Working alongside architect Goody Clancy, Code Red Consultants supported the project through all phases, helping to ensure a compliant and coordinated approach aligned with the renovation’s scope and timeline. The project was completed in time for the start of the August semester in fall 2024.
