The renovation and a new addition to a century-old publishing facility provide administrative offices, conference rooms, and meeting spaces for the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) at the University of Chicago. Revamped interiors feature flexible furnishings that encourage spontaneous collaboration, while a fresh addition offers a versatile gathering area for students powered by top-tier multimedia tools. Glazed doors and shaded windows spill onto a lively patio, where sleek copper panels and lush greenery come together to echo the timeless gothic courtyards of the campus. A perfect blend of history, innovation, and community spirit—designed for interaction, inspiration, and reflection.
