Student Union Opened at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

The Mussallem Union project at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN, was recently completed, and opened to the student community for the first time. The feature-rich facility serves as a place for students to socialize, study, and relax.

Some of the spaces in the Mussallem Union include a coffee/smoothie bar, a café, an outdoor patio, conference rooms, and the Office of Career Services. Aside from being a gathering place for students, the Mussallem also acts as a campus welcome center for visitors to the school. The project, which began in 2016, is named after project donors Linda and Rose-Hulman graduate Mike Mussallem.

    Learning environments have the power to shape not just what students know, but who they become.

It becomes a catalyst for growth, confidence, and belonging. That is the animating idea behind neurodiverse design, and it is one that is transforming how more architects and designers are thinking about school design.
