Project Overview
One of the oldest buildings in one of the oldest disciplines at Purdue University, the School of Chemical Engineering needed a new space to meet the requirements of the ever evolving engineering field. Deeply rooted on the engineering quad, Schmidt Associates delivered a building that pays tribute to the traditions and fabric of Purdue. We designed a three-story atrium as the focal point of the building, to encourage collaboration between the students and the faculty. With a combination of colors, skylights, and design elements, the atrium is conducive to the latest advances in this fast moving scientific discipline.

“The Forney Hall addition provides chemical engineering at Purdue University with the premier facilities for research and education in the nation, and does this in a way that it looks like it has always belonged at the center of a historic campus.”
