  • The reconfigured entry is more welcoming by providing an immediate, direct visual connection to the reception area.
  • Improvements to lighting, ceiling, carpet, paint, window treatments, new graphics and AV/IT upgrades in the main event space.
  • Updates to auxiliary spaces such as restrooms & storage.

This renovation of the African American Cultural & Resource Center (AACRC), located on the first floor of the 60 W Charlton Building on UC’s main campus, improves the look and functionality of the center. The design refreshes the main event space, the lounge area as well as office and conference spaces.

"We worked closely with the UC team to reinforce the capabilities of their spaces while celebrating the cultural diversity and history of service inherent to the AACRC identity."
– Samuel Tibbs, Architect
