overview
AE7's Pittsburgh office was tasked with developing the interiors for two academic buildings, the training building, auditorium, gym, pool, and band building. After first developing an overall design concept, a unique identity was shaped for each individual building — ensuring a comprehensive look and feel across the campus while maintaining a distinct personality for each building. Rigorous space planning and programming was completed for each space prior to bringing the client's vision to life through extensive design and rendering.
