Shenandoah University’s Hub for Innovators, Veterans and Entrepreneurs (HIVE) in Winchester, Virginia, revitalizes the historic Hazel-Pruitt Armory. This adaptive reuse project pays homage to the past while igniting possibilities for the future through the new student-centered community spaces. The gymnasium now houses immersive learning labs across two floors. The adjacent two-story armory is repurposed as a Veteran’s Center. A new addition, the “Collaboratory,” hosts the Shenandoah Center for Immersive Learning and serves as a 170-person event space.
