University of Findlay, Center for Student Life and College of Business

Design Team: M+A Architects (Architecture and Interior Design); Dynamix Engineering (MEP); Schaefer (Structural); The EDGE Group (Landscape Architecture); Peterman Associates (Civil)

This state-of-the-art learning facility for the College of Business includes classrooms, lecture halls, and flex spaces. These rooms, along with two creative learning centers, an investment trading room and a “Big Ideas” incubator lab, were designed to inspire creativity and foster innovative learning and collaboration among faculty and students.

A two-story central gathering space with dining facilities offers students an area not only to eat, but also to study, meet and relax. The building also includes a bookstore, campus communications center, a student leadership development suite, and the Center of Civic Engagement. At the heart of campus, this new building serves as a gathering place for other academic programs, and a venue for campus and community entertainment.

Environmental graphics were individually created yet seamlessly woven together for the three distinct spaces: College of Business, Student Life Center and support spaces. Together, bright punches of color, inspiring dimensional quotes, and memorable donor wall elements create a student experience that is engaging and playful and visually complements the timeless design.
