As a part of the University’s renovation and expansion of the Main Classroom Building the development of the 4th floor of the new atrium for the Honors College was undertaken. This suite was designed to contain the administrative services for the University’s Honors Program.

Because of the limited amount of exterior wall available for day-lighting, the design utilizes large amounts of interior windows. In an effort to provide some level of privacy for office occupants, textured glass was incorporated into the design. In addition to allowing precious sunlight to penetrate into the suite, some of the best views of heart of the campus and downtown Cleveland are seen in these offices.

The administrative offices are separated from a student lounge area. This lounge, that allows students in the program to study in groups or individually, participate in group activities or just relax from a challenging day of studies, is part of the building’s atrium.
