Project Narrative

The 54,000 SF facility features two specialized buildings joined by a central atrium. A two-story administration wing houses conference rooms, offices spaces, seminar rooms, and Dean’s offices. A three-story classroom building houses lecture rooms, apparel design/sewing/arts laboratories, gallery, cafe and flexible learning spaces. A grand two-story atrium ties these buildings together, providing a warm community multipurpose space equipped with audio visual and lighting for art gallery or special exhibit events on campus.
