Academic Innovation

What happens when 15 humanities departments come together under one roof? Innovation, collaboration, and a dynamic learning experience. 

Designed by Page, the Grinnell College Humanities and Social Studies Center (HSSC) is an academic powerhouse where history meets economics, literature intersects with political science, and sociology thrives alongside philosophy. The design links new and historic spaces through a bright, central atrium—fostering intellectual exchange at every turn. With modern technology, flexible learning spaces, and an inclusive design that welcomes all, the HSSC is a bold step toward the future of liberal arts education, built on Grinnell’s rich academic tradition. 

NYU’s transformational evolution into a top-tier global research university demanded a visionary expansion in the heart of Greenwich Village. To support its growing academic and creative energy, we partnered with KieranTimberlake and NYU to create the 735,000-square-foot John A. Paulson Center—a dynamic, multi-use hub replacing the Coles Sports Center.

The transformation of Bethlehem Steel’s abandoned R&D facility into a dynamic 21st-century learning environment has advanced Lehigh University’s engineering program. Page’s design fosters hands-on discovery, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and real-world problem-solving by recladding its crescent-shaped structure and reimagining high-bay research spaces.

Virginia Tech's New Classroom Building is a dynamic experiential learning hub that inspires active engagement and collaboration. At its core, a grand staircase cascades through the building, connecting active study nooks, soft-seating areas, and impromptu bar-height workspaces—all designed to fuel creativity and interaction.

Bryant’s Academic Innovation Center (AIC) is boldly designed to cultivate the next generation of problem solvers. Positioned at the campus gateway, the AIC fuels curiosity with dynamic collaboration spaces and high-tech classrooms that drive debate, communication, and hands-on learning.
