The Wallace Center at RIT

Rochester, NY

The re-envision of a campus library creates a student-focused space. Rochester Institute of Technology saw a rise in student activity after they provided new types of spaces in this centrally located building. Reorganization of the stacks and a clear signage scheme allows for a more usable and comfortable study and gathering place.

BIG IDEA

Designing a collaborative library to meet changing student needs.
