Triffo Hall is an example of the adage "What was old is new again". Undergoing numerous changes since 1915, Triffo Hall was restored back to its original design. It was very important to use the steel and leave it exposed, retaining the steel trusses that supported the roof and clerestory and making them visible by removing the existing ceiling systems.
