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.
