What was once an outdated brick building from the 1960s has been transformed into a stunning, top-notch learning facility. The renovation of Crispin Hall included expanding lab and classroom areas to accommodate computer science, mathematics, physics, and psychology courses.
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.
- Collaboration Spaces
- Virtual Reality Simulation Lab
- Biopac Labs
“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.”
Named in honor of Illinois College alumnus Charlie Bellatti ‘49, the Bellatti Fitness Center was upgraded with the entire campus community in mind.
The 14,850-square-foot facility will serve as a hub for imagination, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, featuring prototyping tools, an amphitheater, collaborative meeting and teaching spaces, a test kitchen, 3D printers, sewing machines, power tools, audio/video equipment and more.
The University of Illinois Alumni Association selected BLDD to design a new alumni center for the Urbana-Champaign campus. Public areas include a reception gallery, library, lounge and great room, student areas, and banquet facilities for up to 224 guests.
