Laboratories is many things to many people.
The Higgins Laboratories project is just the latest in a series of major construction and renovation projects that have come to fruition under Miller's direction. The project involved the nearly complete gutting of the structure's shopworn interior and the construction within its brick facade of a modern facility for work in manufacturing, materials and management. The following year, WPI built a 230-student residence hall between Boynton and Dean streets. Founders Hall received the Boston Society of Architects Export Award and a design citation from American School and University magazine. This summer, Miller will oversee the renovation of Sanford Riley Hall, the Institute's first residence hall, the conversion of part of West Street into a pedestrian mall, and the refurbishment of several biology and biotechnology research laboratories in Salisbury Labs.
