Gone are painted concrete block, terrazzo floors and 2-foot-by-4-foot lay-in ceilings with fluorescent lighting, and uncomfortable furnishings (if any) in common areas. Today’s interiors feature a broad range of finishes and furnishings, creating spaces that encourage students to linger and collaborate.

COLORS We have noted an increase in requests to “brand” interiors. Many university athletic programs have had great success promoting support for their teams by intensive integration of school colors and logos into facilities and programs.

Natural materials such as stone or weathered wood help bring a layer of history to a new or renovated space. The use of wood finishes is popular as a way to introduce visual warmth into spaces.
