The objective of this project was to create a physical connection between Hayes Hall and Crosby Hall, the two main buildings hosting the School of Architecture and Planning at UB. This bridge between the buildings works as a student innovator and connector in which current students, recent graduates, faculty members are well as other organization can collaborate and work together. The main programmatic elements of this addition are a large fabrication workshop, a student lounge, an incubator space, as well as a smart lab and a new space for the IDeA Center (Inclusive Design and environmental Access center).
