Yeshiva University Beren Campus Improvements

The student writing support center and conference room share this space with an existing career counseling office.  Bamboo millwork is intended to recall the college’s nearby bamboo lobby. Graphic patterns cut into the millwork and echoed on decals on glass recall composition paper used in elementary schools to teach penmanship.  Vivid green wood and painted walls contrast with the bamboo and bring a casual, fresh feel to the space.

Another aspect of this project was the creation of a new academic suite for the graduate school cybersecurity program. This three-room suite is comprised of a work counter with pantry, a digital presentation space, and a classroom. All three spaces are finished with a writable laminate so the entire space can be a teaching surface. A dramatic angled lighting design unifies the three transparent spaces; exposed ductwork and a concrete floor contribute to the rough, functional nature of the space. 

Lastly we are showing a new art gallery for the Stern College undergraduate art department. This space was carved out of a warren of existing spaces on the floor, with the main feature being a new flexible lighting system. The space provides a much-needed display venue for the school’s talented undergraduate artists.
