School of Packaging Renovation & Addition

For Michigan State University's School of Packaging addition, TMP was asked to give it a new, modern feel, bring in more natural light, and make spaces for students, faculty, and corporate partners to meet and collaborate. Incorporating accessibility, sustainability, and durability into the school's finishes were also high priority needs for MSU.

The building addition and renovated main entry establish a new face to the public. Major features of the space include a Welcome Center, small meeting rooms, administrative and faculty offices, dedicated graduate student workstations, and collaboration zones.

Originally an underused, open courtyard space, the reimagined main concourse was transformed into a flexible collaboration space designed for students, faculty, and industry partners to gather, study, present, and network with each other. Running the full depth of the building, the space is capped by a translucent skylight flooding the corridor with natural daylight.

The school's large lecture hall was redesigned with accessibility in mind; a zero-slope floor, flexible seating, and acoustic treatments ensure students of all abilities get the most out of classroom opportunities.

To meet sustainability goals, durable flooring and acoustical baffles made from recycled materials were utilized. Blending aesthetic value with functionality ensures the School of Packaging remains a timeless campus destination able to withstand a wide variety of student and faculty activities.

    Why a Fire Loss Is More than Flames

    We've all seen what fire damage can do to a property, but the types of damage building owners often encounter after a fire loss can exceed expectations. Having full awareness of the different forms of damage properties can sustain helps owners respond faster, reduce continued damage, and get back on the road to recovery in short order.
