Design For Next: Reimagining ArcD Spaces
Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is helping the School of Architecture & Design reimagine facilities and visualize the future of design education at KU.
After a decade of increasing enrollment and expanded program offerings, the School is working on a plan to transform its academic, research, and resource spaces in the heart of KU’s main campus.
Starting in March of 2023, BIG architects began working with School and University stakeholders to plan, design, and visualize how to accommodate projected program space requirements while also strengthening spatial and disciplinary connections.
As project updates become available, they will be added to this webpage. For inquires contact arcd-news@ku.edu.
