Project Overview
The new Mack Hall is a four-story, 51,300 sf building with interactive classrooms, a cybersecurity war operations center, a 400-seat performing arts center and case-study rooms. Technologically designed around the 21st century pedagogy, classrooms are centered around the leaner. Collaboration, dialogue, and problem solving are emphasized. The arrangement of support spaces from corridors, to pocket lounges, to learning bars helps foster community and unstructured learning. The building’s sustainability features include passive heating and cooling and natural daylighting.
