HLW Higher Education

HLW HIGHER EDUCATION

HLW is a multi-disciplinary, international design practice with offi ces around the world.

For almost 130 years, we have partnered with industry leaders at the forefront of technological innovation—from the early days of Bell Labs to contemporary internet-based entities such as Google and YouTube. We have a deep understanding of how technology impacts the economy as well as how people live, work and learn.

Recognizing that change is constant and often a catalyst for inspiration, HLW embraces the opportunities inherent in working with new pedagogies and pioneering learning technologies. Distance learning, scalable classrooms and MOOCs are just the latest advances in how we defi ne a classroom.

We are designers and problem-solvers. Our success is based on managing change over time—consistent with a long tradition of adapting and innovating with Higher Education’s own ongoing evolution.

OF HIGHER EDUCATIONBUILDING THE FUTURE

HLW International © 2014

As an award-winning design practice, HLW is

dedicated to creating learning environments that

inspire and promote a spirit of discovery. We believe

in the transformative nature of higher education in

our society and in the economic opportunities that

arise from lives defi ned by curiosity and learning.

How we approach design diff erentiates us. We are

expert listeners who recognize the value of direct

dialogue for a successful outcome.

Working together, it is possible to tackle the

logistical and fi scal challenges of your campus and

its infrastructure and to meet specifi c program

requirements and a diverse group of stakeholders.

The design and construction process is inherently

complex with great fi nancial risk, but the

ingredients for a successful project are constants:

decisive leadership, strong relationships, clear

communication and accountability.

HLW will distill the innumerable, sometimes

divergent factors impacting your project and

identify the essential and the meaningful. The

result is a learning environment that inspires and

promotes a spirit of discovery.

Our work tells your story.

CAMPUS PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT


PRATT INSTITUTE | BROOKLYN, NY

The Pratt Undergraduate School of Art & Design move from the North Hall to the new Design Center brings all of the Institute’s disciplines together under one roof—industrial design, interior design, undergraduate communications design, and fashion design. The integrated program increased collaborative interaction and facilitated ease of administration.

“We believe in transparency, shared environment, a collaborative environment—and the architecture of the space provides for that.”

— Jennifer Minniti, former Chair, Fashion Design Department, Pratt Institute

The goal of Columbia University was to modernize the broadcast facility for the students with state-of-the-art equipment and to honor the memory of legendary ABC executive and university supporter Roone Arledge.

The project, situated within the historic New York City campus, included a 900 sf student-run television studio, a dual-function control room/seminar room, a series of editing suites and an open newsroom for student reporter staff.

Acoustically, the environment of the television studio was designed to meet professional standards for broadcast facilities, with noise level goals of NC-25 in the studio and control room.

This two-phase renovation project for the Taub Institute includes general laboratories, laboratory support spaces, associated offices and a 900 sf one-story extension shared common space. This new extension remained sympathetic to the original 1928 Physicians and Surgeons/Presbyterian Hospital building by using a similar facade treatment.

HLW’s project design was a significant departure from previous CUMC approaches to laboratory space by providing large open, shared spaces to be subdivided among the various Institute science constituencies.

Selected areas within public corridors were highlighted to encourage interaction and collaboration among the various scientific disciplines as a means to help promote innovation and intellectual cross-pollination. Bold colors were introduced throughout the laboratory and public spaces as a way to increase connectivity and to brighten the space.


HOFSTRA NORTH SHORE – LIJ SCHOOL OF MEDICINE | HEMPSTEAD, NY

The new School of Medicine at Hofstra University is a unique partnership with the North Shore-LIJ Health System. HLW’s successful repurposing of the former New York Jets training facility into an interim medical college building led the School of Medicine to reconsider its planned move and instead decide to remain and expand into a new adjoining Phase II building.

The new facility houses an enlarged structural anatomy lab, additional faculty offices, a new lecture hall, classrooms and informal gathering spaces, both indoors and outdoors, in keeping with the university’s mission to cultivate a new kind of collaborative, active model for medical education.

The project achieved LEED Silver certification.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

For the Gabelli School of Business, HLW transformed a late 19th-Century residence hall into a 21st-Century undergraduate business school while paying respect to Fordham’s history and tradition. Hughes Hall’s solid granite exterior bearing walls were braced while the entire building interior was demolished and replaced with a new structure, floors and building systems. The use of transparent glass elements throughout the interior and the translucent replacement roof give a new sense of space and openness and facilitates the use of natural light.

The new business school plays a powerful symbolic role on a campus committed to innovative learning strategies and technologies by successfully bridging the past with the future. A historic granite shell now encloses the latest learning technologies, dynamic special event spaces, and areas for formal and informal collaboration.

Fordham University successfully repurposed a fi ve-story 40,000 sf dormitory into an educational facility for progressive business practices with an emphasis on global studies.



ST. JOHN’S UNIVERSITY MASTER PLAN | QUEENS, NY

HLW was retained by St. John’s to accommodate a strategic change in the university’s traditional student population. Having successfully attracted students from around the country and the world, the largest Catholic University in the United States anticipated a projected growth impact to existing housing and student life related infrastructure.

The master plan organized previously disparate site elements into precincts, each possessing a distinct character as a result of function and location. HLW proposed to organize the various precincts through a new pedestrian pathway called the Cross Campus Walk, which encourages a shared sense of community and identity. HLW’s master plan also unified the various precincts through common use of materials, site furniture, lighting and landscape.
