Center for Law, Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Villanova University | Villanova, PA
Interdisciplinary Space Encourages Innovation and Entrepreneurism
In considering how to approach the design of the Center for Law, Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Villanova University’s Law School, our design team assessed the kinds of interaction that foster teamwork and creative thinking among individuals and groups. We were asked to refashion an existing 1,500 square foot space on the second floor of the School of Law. Our design provides open and flexible work, study, and lounge spaces. Glass-framed workstation walls create a dynamic environment conducive for video-conferencing and collaborative group work. Glass partitions replaced solid walls and introduce abundant daylight and visual connections to adjacent spaces. We selected the Center’s movable furniture and other furnishings, which encourage collaboration in a flexible, lively work environment.
