Students in the Honors College have the opportunity to connect and interact with their peers and faculty on a routine basis in this living/learning environment.
Project Details
Where Research, Active Learning, and Innovation Converge
The academic spaces consist of approximately 40,000 square feet to accommodate faculty and staff offices, classrooms, innovation space, and study spaces. Learning and leadership opportunities include a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and agriculture, math) research lab, active learning studios, and an Innovation Forum – featuring an interactive, programmable floor – provides a showcase for student projects.
STEAM Research Lab
A dedicated STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and agriculture, math) research lab is thoughtfully designed to foster experiential learning, innovation, and leadership.
The Great Hall Stands at the Center of the Honors College Experience
The “Great Hall”, a flexible space that can be configured to seat more than 400 for lectures, presentations, and events, is the centerpiece of the Honors College. The space is located in the center of the community with access to a primary campus path and greenspace.
Living Learning Community Designed for Connection
The two buildings that make up the community – each with academic space and residential space – are located within the University’s “student success corridor.” Over 800 students live in clusters of roughly 24 students in pod configurations complemented by community and social areas designed to foster informal interaction and collaboration.
