About the Project

New 102,000 SF, four-story state-of-the-art academic building to house the School of Social Work, the Writing Center and Academic Learning Transformation Lab.

The facility features a combination of large-capacity lecture halls, classrooms, meeting rooms, and many spaces for students to gather – both inside and out. Vegetated green roofs provide garden views and help regulate indoor temperature and manage storm water. LEED Gold Certified.
