This project was seen as an opportunity to weave together the disparate architectural language of the existing building into a cohesive whole. Influenced by the gothic campus architecture, the project creates a timeless image distinctive, yet integral to the campus fabric. The prominent use of brick and cast stone further reinforces this connection while key features such as the north entry clock and east towers reinforce axial conditions and create a memorable building image.
The University's desire to create a timeless design also carried into the interior where the generous use of wood and rich colors serve to create an inviting environment and a sense of permanence.
