Northeastern University – Charlotte, School of Nursing & Health Sciences

The architect designed a nursing and health sciences classroom facility at Northeastern University’s Charlotte campus. The upfit of a high-rise tower serves 400 students with training space for nursing, speech pathology and health sciences programs. The design embodies the university’s goals by providing an immersive, experiential environment that is globally recognizable. The design maximizes flexibility and growth, and emphasizes sustainability and wellness.

The space is organic and expressive, featuring fresh, unexpected color combinations that convey the energy and optimism of Northeastern and its students. The “long lounge” welcomes collaboration and events and is subdividable to accommodate small or large groups.
