Senior Living Facility
Thesis students were tasked with the challenge of renovating the interior of Mizzou North (previously Ellis Fischel Cancer Research Building). The structure was to be renovated into a senior living facility. Specificity of which level of care provided was given as a choice to each students. Priorities include aging in place, accessibility, sense of community, and a focus on desirable ammenities. Students visited other examples of successful facilities to gain inspiration and observe which design features were successful and which were not.
Concepts Recreate public square to encourage socialization and community among residents. Locate public spaces on main floor to invite community gatherings. Separate public and private spaces to ensure residentail privacy. Incorporate public spaces for community interaction. Include amenities for residential comfort and elegany living. Repetition throughout using existing columns.
Public Vs Private Spaces The adjacency matrix shows how to organize public and private spaces within the facility. All of the amenities and public spaces are located centrally, while the private residences are in more remote wings of the building for acoustics and privacy. Public spaces are located centrally for easy access to visitors and large groups, while the private spaces are located off the main nucleus of the building, on one of two wings.

Evidence Based Design Architectural Office
This project prompted students to design a professional architectural office using predetermined building shell. The structural integrity was to remain untouched, and concepts and designs should be outcomes of well researched evidence based design. This studio lined up with the Steelcase student design competition titled NEXT, in which students are tasked to, “imagine the workplace of the future.� This project was chosen as one of the two submitted to the competition representing the University of Missouri in 2017.
Concept Statement The design of this NEXT architectural office draws natural inspiration from the landscapes of Southern California, specifically the form of a canyon, to create a dynamic and modern interior that is rooted in place and pointed toward the beautiful unknown. The concept is immediately visible when first stepping off the elevators, where floating, angles ceiling planes define the space. The concept is visible throughout the firm, starting with the raw structural materials and chromatic warm color tones. Burnt orange wall divisions mimic colors found on red rocks, and red and yellow pops of color act as accents. Raw materials including the bare columns, natural fabrics, LED lighting and stained existing concrete floor bring the feeling of purity into the firm.
Evidence Based Design
High Creativity Potential
McCoy and Evans (2002) found that “Environments high in perceived creativity potential most frequently were visually interesting. Such environments tended to be highly complex, both spaciall and ornamentally. Complexity of spatial design was demonstrated by multiple shapes in walls and ceilings.� Further, the use of natural materials within the workplace promotes potential for a high level of creativity. (McCoy & Evans, 2002) Floating drop ceilings and angles Steelcase V.I.A. walls create visual interest for employees.
Places of Collaboration Places of Collaboration
Layout of open office provides openness and transparency to encourage visibility of others and exposure to diverse ideas. (Steelcase, 2015) Proximity to coworkers facilitates face to face interactions. (Rashid et al., 2006) The office provides buffers between work teams to minimize distractions in the open office atmosphere and maximize employee productivity. (De Croon et al., 2005) The open office creates and atmosphere for collaboration with buffers to assist with acoustics and privacy.
Foorplan Organically shaped walls at either end of the office create visually interesting coordiors, influenced by tall rugges canyons.

Environmental Analysis 2D Case Diagrams
As a design student, it is integral to understand what makes designs successful or unsuccessful. In the course, Environmental Analysis, students are given well known projects to evaluate through 2D or 3D diagrams. These case studies are fundamental in looking at the projects from a conceptual eye, instead of just a floorplan view.

Wellness in Lawrence Health and Fitness Center
This project prompt was to design a health and wellness center for the proposed site on 11th and Mass Street in Lawrence, KS. Programming for the project included recovery hydropools, gardens, and free weight areas.
Massing
By indenting the west exterior facade of the structure, users are given an intimate entrance into the facility. By sloping the roof up towards the intersection of 11th and Massachusetts Street, complement is given to roof peaks of adjacent buildings, the Waktins Museum and the Lawrence Courthouse, pulling both northwest and southeast roof corners up, creating a butterfly roof, further executes this concept.

User Experience Lakehouse
This project prompt was to design a lakehouse that sits on a sloped peninsula site in the Lake of the Ozarks. Considerations when desiging this home for a family of four were maximizing views, providing generous natural light, and minimizing impact to the site.
Concept to Design By breaking the house into different components, views are highlighted from each angle within the home. Large north facing windows bring in maximum natural light to the main living space. Variations in roof heights respond to the contours of the sloped site. By sitting the home into the existing slope of the site, environmental impact is minimized.
