Scope

This project creates a design commons that will provide transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary education, collaboration, research and maker-space to foster design, creativity, innovation and invention for students across all disciplines. The primary construction area includes the renovation of the existing, two-story rotunda of the Van Leer building to open up the space to overlook Tech Green.
