The Music Education and Performance departments and the Art History department at Augustana College had grown beyond the confines of their current spaces.  The music education department needed to expand their office area to respond to their growing faculty needs. 
The College has seized the opportunity to infuse existing spaces with new enivronments that facilitate creativity and the expression of art.

Details that make a difference!

  • The piano lab becomes a place where music is celebrated and on display.  An intimate performance space gives students a venue to showcase their talents to a select audience.  ​​

  • The art gallery allows visitors to Campus experience an art collection that will move the soul. 

  • The Ideation Lab offers a new learning environment for students to test the boundaries of how technology can improve their world.  

  • The creation of these spaces allowed the design team to re-invent the exterior expression of this facility... welcoming students, faculty and the community to a place where education, performance, and art can be experienced and lived.
