Dynamic Learning
Our design guidelines focus on creating a flexible, inclusive, and engaging educational environment. Emphasizing purposeful design, the project aims to develop spaces that go beyond traditional classrooms to support diverse educational needs and encourage interaction among students, learners, and participants.
Fostering Interactive Learning
The AUC Campus is set to undergo a transformative expansion with the introduction of the Extended Education Hub, a project designed to enhance the educational environment and cater to the evolving needs of its diverse student body. Spanning a total area of 146,970 SF, the Extended Education Hub integrates general spaces, classrooms, executive education areas, and essential basement support spaces, all meticulously designed to foster a vibrant and interactive learning community. Our design prioritizes the seamless integration of natural elements, such as a tranquil reflecting pool. In addition, the site trellises offer designated areas for outdoor classrooms, gatherings, and leisure, enhancing the overall experience.
Enhancing Community Living
The new NextGen Student Living and Learning Spaces emphasize holistic student wellness and community-building. It features inviting cafes, co-working spaces, prayer rooms, music rooms, and spacious living areas, all of which foster student connections. Spanning a total area of 123,795 SF and accommodating 300 beds, the project features various spaces including student life programming and a garden-level basement.
