The University of North Texas is a major public research institution deeply committed to advancing educational excellence and preparing students to become thoughtful, engaged citizens of the world. In any academic institution, it is important to foster an environment where students will learn and flourish.
As the University of North Texas began renovation on Sage Hall, transforming it from an office building into the campus’ new Academic Success Center, Kim Nguyen, manager of campus planning, facilities planning, design and construction, aimed to create an aesthetic that would both inspire students and please administrative officials. The first phase of the renovation required flooring for communal work/study areas, classrooms and tutoring spaces, in addition to the connecting corridors. The school’s administration was looking to create a clean, open space with streamlined visuals that struck a balance between commercial and residential.
