Work on the third floor will preserve the original suspended vaulted ceiling.

It will also transform former lecture space into an open studio design.

A "behind-the-scenes" look at the suspended vaulted ceiling.

With most interior walls removed, the work has carved out the core structure of the building, revealing grand, day-lit open spaces.

The open design will accommodate everything from individual design work, to digital collaboration, to team-based learning and full-scale construction.
