The project

Clustered workstations bring advisors into shared space, while student lounge seating supports waiting and informal study. Small conference rooms provide privacy for meetings and can also serve student organizations.

Private offices remain for department heads and support faculty. The mix gives the advising center both open, flexible areas and rooms for conversations that need a closed door.
