The design of the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building is centered on collaboration, innovation, and academic rigor. Nationally recognized for its undergraduate civil, mechanical, electrical, and environmental engineering programs, Ohio Northern understood the importance of using the building to recruit and retain students, increase engineering laboratory space, promote the visibility of engineering on campus, and encourage faculty-student collaboration.

The building’s program focuses on enhancing the student experience and highlighting different activities: learning, creating, and working. The spaces are functional, multipurpose, and interdisciplinary. Flexible classrooms accommodate a variety of teaching and learning styles, and through the use of innovative infrastructure and layout, labs can accommodate any engineering discipline. The building’s main feature is the central three-story atrium, which fills the surrounding classrooms and labs with natural light and provides an amazing view of the campus.
