New Hall’s modern living and learning spaces support the growing needs of Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri.

With a goal of creating engaging, technology-rich spaces that support students’ progress on their career paths, New Hall houses both the Robert W. Plaster School of Business and residential living areas for 150 students. The building features state-of-the-art classrooms, an event center, conference rooms, and 76 residential suites on the three upper floors.

Realizing that it is easier for students to succeed academically and build important relationships when they live on campus, the college chose to build its first new residential rooms in over 50 years on the upper levels of New Hall. The three upper floors feature double-room suites connected by full bathrooms. Community kitchens, student lounges, and an outdoor terrace provide gathering and collaboration spaces for students. Each floor is identical except for a designated color scheme to assist with wayfinding. The colors are visible from the exterior and provide a layering effect from below.
