The design process was deeply collaborative, involving university leadership and department heads to explore multiple test-fit options and align the layout with a wide range of user needs. The resulting solution streamlines operations, improves interdepartmental connectivity, and enhances the day-to-day experience with a focus on flexibility, efficiency, and usability.

Selective demolition and architectural upgrades were paired with HVAC enhancements, improved power and data infrastructure, and integrated security systems. Strategic reuse of existing furniture and finish selections consistent with university standards supported a smooth transition.

The renovated space includes 112 dedicated and hoteling workstations, a mix of new and refreshed private offices, team rooms, conference spaces, and storage. A new employee lounge encourages informal interaction and relaxation, while clear circulation and ample daylight promote a welcoming, high-performance environment that supports both collaboration and focused work.
