MA Design

This month's MA University session was all about growing our design culture. Each participant was challenged to bring a photo of a building or space that inspires them to share with the group. It was exciting to see such a diverse range of inspirations, from modern exteriors to warm, inviting interiors, innovative materials, and historic buildings. No two photos were alike! Our team left the session feeling energized and motivated!

Our Experiential Design team loves to get into the details of our client's brand and learn what makes them tick. When designing experiential moments throughout the new Heminger Hall and Newton Hall Renovation project for The Ohio State University College of Nursing, our team knew incorporating health and wellness into the design would be crucial. A dynamic walking path was developed that spans both buildings and includes inspirational quotes and QR codes with wellness insights at special nodes along the path. In addition, the atrium in Heminger Hall was another focal point for the project. The College's mission and vision is showcased alongside a tone-on-tone Buckeye leaf motif near the main entrance. The atrium also includes a flexible donor wall, which was designed to be continuously updated and foster ongoing support. Want to learn more about these thoughtful moments?
