From the 2023 Architectural Portfolio: The Sciences & Engineering Center and the Commons

March 29, 2024
The project was recognized as an outstanding design in the High Schools category.

West Chester University sought the highest, best use for the last developable spaces on the West Chester, Pennsylvania, campus with a resource that promotes research, campus life, and education and restores programs that had been relegated to satellite locations. The Sciences & Engineering Center and The Commons creates an intersection of disciplines, breaking down traditional academic silos. Learning is on display in a setting accessible to the entire student population, increasing interest in the burgeoning fields of sciences and engineering. A bleak part of campus has been transformed into a student-centered hub of scientific inquiry.
