Applying DeafSpace Guidelines, our team collaborated with design architects LTL to create a vibrant and interactive place for students to connect and to communicate with one another. The new Living and Learning Residence Hall reflects breakthrough concepts in visual language and collaboration among students, promoting free-flowing conversation and further building the campus community.

Working closely with the University, we developed a safe and easy environment for deaf and hard of hearing students to converse through unimpeded sign language and visual communication. The extension of public areas enhances community spaces and includes a large terraced living room, classrooms, and offices. In addition, a flexible collaboration studio provides comfortable spaces for students to enjoy between classes.
