Tulsa Technology Center’s Client Service Center returns all administrative functions—a blend of offices, student services, meeting spaces and the Business and Industry Training Center—to a single facility central to the district.

Each of the 14 departments and functions was eager to engage in a more integrated work environment.

The atrium inspires this collaboration among administration, students and industry partners alike with a dynamic stair feature.

Several unique areas were created within the atrium space to cater to different interactions. From the soft seating and vast natural light of the third-floor communal seating ideal for studying to the seating integrated into the first-floor stair for a casual conversation, the space is suitable for all.

Each department is celebrated with an angled wood portal to identify a new point of arrival in a client’s journey. These are organized in a consecutive path from the building’s main entry around the atrium and back to the Business and Industry Center to signify the transition from clients’ or students’ education to their career.
