How do we transform a very utilitarian, architectural eyesore into a vibrant part of campus that attracts students and faculty?
By re-envisioning the exterior facade of this facility with an architectural style that complements the rest of campus and creating student-centered learning environments, collaboration areas and staff-focused office suites.
“The renovation of Crispin Hall inspires achievement and empowers students to make a difference in the world daily. The design supports collaborative, flexible, technology-rich classroom learning that seamlessly flows into labs for hands-on applications.”
