Project Features

• The open floor plan puts learning on display, generating an energized atmosphere of creativity like that of a cutting edge professional design firm.
• Flexible spaces that facilitate collaboration between students and with faculty.
• Pin-up surfaces adorn virtually every vertical surface, providing the opportunity to highlight the development of the students’ work and ideas from inception to completion.
• A row of pivot-walls delivers space between the studios and the gallery for group and individual critiques or closes them off from one another depending on the needs of the moment.
