This Project was a proposal for the university of NJIT to move the School of Art & Design into the recently acquired Central King Building in Newark, NJ. This project involved an on-site tour for site analysis, analyzing the four major programs within the School, as well as faculty, and planning a layout for the programs that would encourage collaboration. This building would also house various workshop space, as well as on-site amenities to encourage a socializing atmosphere, with each other, as well as other schools on campus.
The focus of design for this building is the Cafe and Gallery space, as well as a selected studio space. Sustainability is also a key factor in the design, some examples are: re-use of materials and energy efficient methods by following the guides of the original architecture.
