We are pleased to celebrate the construction progress at the new Steven S. Wymer Hall at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign designed by LMN Architects and the P3 team led by Vermilion – Campbell. Principal, Mark Nicol at LMN Architects, comments: “Wymer Hall pushes the boundaries forward for learning environments that provide opportunities for in-person, remote, and hybrid learning. Illinois has long been a leader in this space, and it has been an honor to work with them to further that mission.” Set to open in 2025, this state-of-the-art building will help prepare Illinois students for futures of purpose and impact. A partnership between Gies College of Business - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and campus, this hybrid educational facility will be home to much-needed collaboration spaces, traditional and flexible classrooms, informal learning environments, content creation studios, as well as academic offices and support spaces. We invite everyone to check out a short new film that captures a day in the construction site with Dean Jeffrey Brown: https://lnkd.in/gyTVYbaC

Archello reports on the recently completed Field Arts & Events Hall designed by LMN Architects in collaboration with Mortenson. Steven Raider-Ginsburg, Executive & Artistic Director at Field Arts & Events Hall, comments: “I have never been in a building in Port Angeles that offers so much flexibility and accessibility. Visitors to the area now have the option to attend a business luncheon on Monday in the conference center, a performance during the week in the auditorium, and then a jazz brunch in the lobby on the weekends. Since we celebrated the opening of the building, we have been busy almost every day and I have heard people say, ‘this is my fourth time at the Field Arts & Events Hall this week.’ As we embark on this new chapter, we are excited to welcome everyone to experience the building and to contribute to the Renaissance of the city post-covid. It is an honor to support the cultural vitality of the Pacific Northwest.” To read the article: https://lnkd.in/g87E6Pt4

ArchDaily has published the first images of the recently completed Field Arts & Events Hall in Port Angeles, Washington. The project designed and built by LMN Architects in collaboration with Mortenson celebrates local and regional artists, facilitates cultural enrichment in the area, and adds a new point of interest for visitors, entrepreneurs, and the local community. Julie Adams, Partner at LMN Architects, comments: “It has been a privilege to work with the team at Field Arts & Events Hall, and to participate in a project that amplifies the energy of the Port Angeles waterfront. The project has been designed to welcome the business, cultural, and creative communities under one roof, and to become a new destination for all in this region. Observing audience members mingling in the lobby pre- and post-performance, attending live productions in the performance hall, or attending events on the conference space with its expansive water and mountain views – all flawlessly choreographed by Field Hall’s hard-working staff – have resulted in some exceptional experiences. We hope the Port Angeles community and the visitors to the area enjoy the building for many seasons to come.” To read the article: https://lnkd.in/gFts5BDs
