We are excited to showcase our highlight video of the Western Michigan University Dunbar Hall Renovation. Partnered with HGA, we transformed Dunbar Hall into a vibrant, sustainable, and student-centered space! Since 1971, Dunbar Hall has been the beating heart of WMU’s College of Arts & Sciences. After a complete transformation focused on flexibility, accessibility, and modern learning, it’s once again a central hub on campus! Dunbar now "puts learning on display" like never before! Catch clear views of the Media Studio, Dance Studio, and cutting-edge spaces designed to showcase student creativity and innovation. The Media Suite boasts top-tier broadcasting, podcasting, and journalism tools, while the eye-catching glass addition and state-of-the-art dance studio add even more to this revitalized space. Wayfinding was key to making Dunbar more accessible: pops of WMU Gold at entrances and a mix of colors inside help students navigate. Each piece of furniture was chosen with flexibility in mind, empowering students and faculty to arrange spaces for any need. This sustainable design also includes high-efficiency systems, green roofs, and bird-safe glass. Our Building Science team is now seeking LEED Gold certification for Dunbar Hall! https://lnkd.in/gNpubpHd

As we celebrate Veterans Day today, we’d like to take a moment to thank the heroes who fought for our country’s many freedoms. We're honored to have supported our local veterans in a tangible way by designing new Veterans Homes in west and southeast Michigan.

The new Edison Elementary provides Kalamazoo Public Schools with fresh opportunities to deliver educational content to district students. The new facility serves as a pillar of the community and is a primary contributor to fostering the re-establishment and reinvention of the Edison neighborhood. The design committee selected the theme of 'Academic Industrial' through early design meetings. This theme pays homage to Thomas Edison, who the building was named after. Opportunities throughout the building were created to express and highlight the ingenuity and aesthetic elements of the age of craft and invention. The two-story building features a natural Redland brick masonry veneer with gunmetal accents on the majority of the building. The brick is offset by large glass curtain walls. The industrial look continues inside the building, with exposed ceilings highlighting the roof deck and decorative wooden trusses.
