Collaboration

Svigals + Partners led the programming process, collaborating with dozens of representatives from the University, the State, and key stakeholders. Our expertise in master planning and academic programming allowed for informed decisions early on, providing opportunities for effective and vibrant solutions.

Art Integration

To connect the new building to the University’s history, context, and iconic status, a graphic identity of concentric circles was developed that echoed two campus touchstones: Otus the Owl, a symbol of academic and athletic excellence, and Founders Gate, an ornamental fence and gate that has been on campus since 1893.

Result

The new Health and Human Services building serves as the heart of the college’s programs, preparing its students with the latest technological capabilities and hands-on learning environments. Furthermore, the new facility has expanded the size and capabilities of the clinical spaces addressing the needs of the public and under-served.
