Wood County Schools (WCS) in conjunction with West Virginia University at Parkersburg, (WVU-P) wanted to create a new Cosmetology Lab. The existing building was built in 1996 and is roughly 4,000 SF.

Pickering Associates designed a lab to accommodate 20 stations and approximately 40-60 students. Hair and Nail stations were added to the front area and the larger room to the North side of the building is used for classroom space.
