Renowned for creating inspiring, state-of-the-art environments for higher education, the architecture, art and advisory firm Svigals + Partners has announced the completed renovation of Quinnipiac University’s growing Center for Communications and Engineering in Hamden, Connecticut.

Originally designed as a law library and later converted into student classrooms, labs, makerspaces, lounges and study areas, the centrally located campus facility had become dated with dark and inefficient work zones. Working within a modest project area of 7,700 square feet, Svigals + Partners transformed key spaces within the 1995 structure, including a three-story atrium, into modern and enjoyable learning and interaction areas. Aligning the space with Quinnipiac University’s forward-thinking approach to education and career development, the design team introduced studying and socializing zones, huddle rooms, redesigned classrooms and a computer lab. These inviting and technologically advanced spaces showcase student accomplishments and become a highlight of tours for visitors and prospective students.
