Harker Hall is the oldest building on University of Illinois Campus at 135 years old and is listed on the national registry for historic buildings. While keeping the exterior 3 story structure intact, Petry-Kuhne demolished all 3 interior floor structures and built back 4 stories with a new roof. This project was a remarkable accomplishment in providing modern features while maintaining the original architecture of this amazing historic building.

Petry-Kuhne steel erection team (Central Illinois Erectors) erected this iconic landmark on UIUC Campus.
In addition to structures such as this, Petry-Kuhne has erected many Champaign-Urbana landmarks including: towers, sculptures, and artwork throughout Central Illinois.

As the high-density storage unit for the University Library, Oak Street Library has the unique role of maximizing preservation of the items it houses while simultaneously shelving them strategically to ensure the least amount of storage space is wasted. The vaults that house UIUC collection are climate controlled by state-of-the-art hvac system to guarantee the ideal temperature and humidity level for maintaining the structural integrity of print resources (about 50° Fahrenheit and 30% humidity respectively).
