Scott Technology Center wanted its environment to reflect its occupants and users—talented entrepreneurs and start-ups and energetic students in search of collaborative spaces in which to engage and interact. Prior to this renovation, public spaces in the interior of the center were dated and reminiscent of a solemn, almost medical office feel of the 1980s. To update the corridors and common areas, a survey of building occupants was studied to assess the vision and desires of the occupants. RDG's designers worked to improve lighting conditions, refresh finishes, incorporate collaborative furniture plans, improve wayfinding and design an environmental graphics package to support the image and brand of the facility. The project created bright, open areas for users to meet up, work together and socialize outside of typical offices, classrooms, and conference rooms.
