5 Inspiring Higher Ed Designs to Take You Back to School

The school year is now in full swing, and we thought it was time to get inspired by our surroundings and the start of a new season with a look at some beautiful, student-centered spaces at colleges and universities in the Central PA region.

Dickinson College Library – Carlisle, PA

The multi-story windows in the library at Dickinson College flood the peaceful, quiet space with ample light for students working hard on their next assignment in this comfortable seating option by Allsteel called Reflect.

Elizabethtown College’s Myer Hall – Elizabethtown, PA

The residents of Myer Hall on the Elizabethtown College campus have plenty of comfortable places to choose from when it comes time to study or spend time with friends thanks to the new lounge furniture, updated paint and flooring, and college student-friendly amenities like a new TV room and game room that were installed in 2018.

HACC Harrisburg Campus Cooper Student Center – Harrisburg, PA

The centerpiece of the Cooper Student Center at the HACC Harrisburg Campus is this stunning floor-to-ceiling glass fireplace. And the bright and comfortable Kimball Villa Lounge Seating surrounding the fireplace is the perfect place to relax, chat with friends, or get some work done.

Bright pops of color in the rest of the Kimball furniture throughout the Center are a fun and energizing contrast to the neutral tones of the space.
