a joint project - The Weatherspoon Art Museum located on the campus of the University of North Carolina Greensboro needed an up-fit of their current museum store, 350 sq. ft .and hidden from view despite its immediate location off the main lobby. The design proposal opened the floor plan, created moments, and displayed the merchandise like objects in an exhibition. New lighting, dissolving the existing corner, and fresh materials invigorated this once dismal and small gift shop.

Proposal to renovate a UNC Greensboro storage building to house the Lloyd International Honors College. The new facility contained classrooms, dorms, cafe, administrative offices, and auditorium. As a group of seven, we envisioned the overall building; as individuals, we each designed one “pod” or dormitory suite. In both the larger facility and the individuals suites, materials, light and color mold the user’s journey through the space.

This project sought to ascertain the impact of museums on the communities in which they exist. The design project required objective input from various local community groups and cultural organizations in order to direct the design of a bicycling museum and community center.
