Texas A&M University-Commerce, Whitley Residence Hall
Commerce, Texas
The Whitley Residence Hall renovation is a student-centric project that offers engaging, collaborative and relaxed spaces for first-year residents. Branding elements throughout reflect the identity of the university and the hall, creating a sense of community among the students. From the lobby’s supergraphic spirit mural to the yellow back-painted glass logo to vibrant, blue-tiled walls, a cohesive yet sophisticated look springs from the college’s school colors.
An esports room that includes consoles and gaming stations enables students to relax and socialize while playing their favorite games. Bold-colored acoustic panels and glass storefront dampen sound, while activating the space. An elegant marble-finished hearth centers the multiple comfortably furnished study pods in the main lounge, along with billiards tables.
A technology-rich collaboration space accommodates pop-up classroom activities nearby. Daylighting and campus views maximize the lounge’s openness and outdoor connection.
Whitley Hall’s modern living and collaboration spaces support the growing needs of the university with areas tailored to resident preferences while incorporating branding and gaming elements that enhance the student experience within the residence hall.
