Founders Renovation: Honors Student Hub

Great spaces spark great ideas. This upcoming phase of the Founders Hall renovation brings a reimagined student hub tailored specifically to the evolving needs of high-achieving scholars in the Honors College. Designed to be versatile, the new suite will provide the ultimate launchpad for academic collaboration, creative projects, and career development.

Student Hub Features

• Adaptable Group Workspaces: Dedicated conference areas of varying sizes built for seamless teamwork and brainstorming.

• Private Interview & Virtual Hubs: Sound-dampened "Zoom Rooms" featuring clean visual backgrounds for professional, graduate school, and internship interviews.

• Dynamic Programming Layouts: Flexible tabling and modular setups to host everything from academic showcases to guest lectures.

• Smarter Work Environments: A quiet, comfortable atmosphere shared with motivated peers, upgraded to handle peak study hours without the squeeze.

"As an Honors student, having access to a quiet, comfortable environment surrounded by highly motivated, hardworking peers is essential. Having access to more group conference tables would give more students access to a convenient location to work on group projects. One thing I almost always struggle with is finding a private room that is appropriate to use for an interview. Implementing “Zoom Rooms” would make planning virtual meetings and interviews less stressful, knowing I have a room in Founders that I am welcome to use."
