Tucson, Arizona

Home to the leadership and key members and support staff of the Office of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, the Central Office is located on the 4th floor of the Administration Building. The existing space was in need of a complete remodel to provide an efficient, flexible and collaborative working environment for staff as well as a welcoming and modern facility for visitors.

The new remodel enhances the functions within the existing space by providing clear wayfinding, unobtrusive security, natural daylight, energy efficient lighting, and materials that contribute to a healthy indoor air quality.  The use of natural materials such as wood, glass and steel reinforce the Office’s commitment to providing a clean, modern, unified image for students and other visitors.

The entry is inviting and open with glass walls that allow transparency through the space and a linear metal track ceiling that defines the open collaboration and work areas.  Offices have been arranged to enhance the Office’s workflow and provide staff with daylight and views to the exterior.  Areas for informal discussion and meetings are spread throughout the space to facilitate all types of interaction.
