Overview
To create the future of Engineering Education, the Ira Fulton Schools of Engineering commissioned the next generation eSpace initiative, a collective investment in innovative, hands-on learning spaces for Engineering students.
The studio renovation is an adaptive re-use of breezeway and classroom space located under the 1960’s designed Ralph Haver Engineering G-wing. Studio and lab space was enclosed with a custom steel and glass enclosure that sought to introduce a degree of transparency to the renovation while respecting the existing structures distinctive pre-cast paneling. Special effort was taken to preserve and expose the existing structure and conceal all required utilities while maintaining full functionality of the structure above.
Inside the new eSpace studio, two rooms have capacity for 40 students each. The rooms were conceived as a hybrid between a computer lab and a workshop, offering students all the tools necessary to define, design, develop and implement engineering solutions within one space. All furnishings and storage systems were conceived as part of the design to facilitate a seamless and functional learning environment.
