  • Wells Quadrangle Residence Halls and Dining Facility

    Wells Quadrangle Residence Halls and Dining Facility

    A Seamless Addition to Goodbody Hall Enhances Dining and Outdoor Gathering at Wells Quad

    The design of the addition to Goodbody Hall required a solution that integrated seamlessly into the architectural character of Wells Quadrangle. The 1-story addition emerges from the base of the existing Goodbody Hall, and houses a dining area with open views toward the quad. A roof terrace above is accessed from both the exterior grade and the second level. This elevated terrace provides options for outdoor seating and a sweeping overlook to the quad.

    Coordinated Renovation Maximizes Space While Delivering Modern Systems and Student Housing

    The overall project required careful coordination to maximize usable space while accommodating updated MEP systems and the technology infrastructure demanded by today’s residence halls.

    The renovation created accommodations for 174 students. The room configuration is comprised of a mix of 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedrooms suites, single rooms, and double rooms. A variety of restroom configurations are available depending on the room type.

    Student-Operated Restaurants Anchored by a Teaching Kitchen

    The interior features a two-story dining space with a coffee bar and two student-operated restaurants: The John Purdue Room, a fine-dining restaurant in which students prepare and serve the food and manage the kitchen and dining room, and The Boiler Bistro, a quick-service restaurant where the food is cooked to order. These spaces are supported by the Teaching Kitchen, which functions as a lab as well as the main kitchen preparation area for the facility.

    A Dining Destination with Eight Distinct Micro-Restaurants

    The facility provides 685 seats in a variety of seating areas and offers Micro-Restaurant style dining with eight different restaurant concepts.

    Centralized prep kitchen and dish washing areas, along with other back-of-house spaces, will support the dining operations. Dining and kitchen spaces are located on the main level.

    In addition to dining, the facility houses the administrative offices for Dining & Food Services and Housing & Residence Life. These office facilities are on a second level, with a designated entrance along McKinley Ave. This project was designed in collaboration with Hanbury.

  • McNutt Quadrangle Dining Facility

    McNutt Quadrangle Dining Facility

    Axial Windows and Curved Form Anchor McNutt Dining to the Central Green

    Large windows are placed on axis with new green space created by North Housing. The new dining project is an anchor to this new central green. A large curved wall of the addition gives reverence to the new green spaces and follows the projected path students take as they transfer southeast to main campus. The new architecture of McNutt Dining is carefully knitted into the context of McNutt Quadrangle as well as the adjacent new housing project.

    Modern Design Rooted in Tradition

    The architectural expression of the new building addition is sympathetic to the existing Mid-Century Modern architecture of McNutt Quadrangle. Indiana ashlar limestone used on the existing building is used in the same application on the new addition.

    A Micro‑Restaurant Dining Experience Supported by a Centralized Back‑of‑House

    The micro-restaurant style dining concept includes ten different themed restaurant concepts, a new Starbucks, and a convenience store (C-Store). A centralized prep kitchen and dishwashing area, loading dock and other back-of-house spaces support the dining operations.

    Expansion Creates a New Front Door to North Housing

    CSO collaborated with Hanbury and BakerGroup on the design of this project.

    Brownsburg High School

    A Larger Cafeteria with Room to Grow

    A new cafeteria offers eight food stations with a combination of assembled-to-order and grab-and-go options. To accommodate growing class sizes, the new space seats 860—nearly triple the size of the previous cafeteria—with room to expand to 1,000 seats.

    An existing auditorium was transformed into a true performing arts theater.

    The new theater design involved expanding the auditorium with new sloped and stadium seating, a new orchestra pit, front of stage area, overhead catwalks, and new lighting and sound systems.

    New Weight Room and Wrestling Room

    A new 10,000 sf weight room, locker rooms, and a coaches office were added to the main level. These spaces are used by the school’s athletic programs, physical education classes, and the community. In addition to state-of-the-art weight lifting equipment, the space includes a medicine ball wall, battle-ropes, and lanes for the 40-yard dash.

    A 7,100 sf wrestling room and associated locker rooms and office are located above the weight room. The entire floor is covered in wrestling mats with seventeen practice circles and two competition circles. The walls are also covered with mat material and custom graphics.
