Ole Miss Student Union
Oxford, Mississippi
The main objective of the project was to improve the Ole Miss Student Union's facilities to better serve the needs of the campus community, through a comprehensive renovation of the existing structure and an expansion with new spaces, while maintaining a balance between the program's functional requirements. The addition's massing is stepped, and the top floor is recessed to minimize the visual impact, and a new brick colonnade blends the more public facades with campus materials. The existing atrium is preserved and connected to new two-story dining spaces in the addition, and the floor levels align with the existing structure.

John D. Williams Library
Oxford, Mississippi
Composed of traditional monumental elements which relate to the existing building and its surroundings, the addition creates an appropriate new architectural focal point for the campus while providing the latest technology in electronic data control. The renovated building will contain Administrative and Technical Service functions, while the addition is comprised of new stack space, generous reading rooms, and a new entry. Phasing of the project allowed the library to continue being used during construction. The renovation included the reorientation of entry into the building, modernization of the HVAC and lighting, and updated code compliance.

University of Mississippi School of Law
Oxford, Mississippi
LEED Gold
The School of Law, established in 1854 had been housed in its current structure since 1978. Although serving the school well for many years the current building Lamar Hall has become inadequate to support the school’s programs and technology. The new 155,000 gross square foot building provides for the development of high-quality teaching environments, integration and leveraging of technology, accommodation of the evolving pedagogy within the academic program and enhancement of the interaction and interdependence of the law school community. The new School of Law building is a three-story, concrete frame, brick-clad classroom building of approximately 155,000 GSF located on the west side of the Oxford campus. The Greek revival style red brick building has limestone trim and a red metal roof. In addition to the building structure, the 22.5-acre site will be developed to provide an appropriate setting for the new building while providing parking for 400 cars.

Residential Colleges
Oxford, Mississippi
The Residential Colleges offer a new housing model providing its residents a membership in a college community blending living into the experience of learning and social development. In this community, its residents will dine together, study together and govern themselves, all under the support and leadership of a resident faculty fellow. Developed in two phases, the Colleges are designed around a central courtyard which provides for social events as well as provide security for its residents. All buildings are four stories with a lower level for common functions and more private events. Predominantly double occupancy suites are centered around common living/lounge areas.
