A tornado damaged half of Parker University’s campus, but school leadership saw rebuilding as an opportunity to expedite campus modernization with cutting-edge learning environments that help recruit top-tier students. The South Building—a key administration building reimagined as a central student hub—anchors this redevelopment. Designers crafted a bright, modern front door to campus. Strategic transparency welcomes daylight into all spaces and offers extensive visibility for occupants. This connects students to nature and campus activity while nurturing a sense of belonging.
