The Burrill Hall project included the renovation of an existing library/learning center and library stacks to create a central area for the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The design combined MCB instructional spaces and MCB advising into one area of Burrill Hall instead of two separate buildings.
The existing first floor library/learning center was renovated into a new educational learning center, free-form learning area, exam rooms, a writer’s workshop room and additional support spaces. The existing three-floor library stacks were renovated to include classrooms on the lower two floors. The top floor now includes faculty offices and a reception area for MCB student advising. Each floor also offers a conference space. |
When approaching classroom design, we wanted to have a physical space that would facilitate group work. We find that when an instructor is given a space that's conducive to that kind of work they're much more likely to try it out.
Branded environments connect with students.
