Concentric rings of engagement center the commons and line classrooms and offices around them. A new west entry opens a seamless passage between quads and equitable access.

Daylight, flexible rooms, and upgraded envelope and systems turn a once inward building into an inviting hub for interdisciplinary humanities.
