We designed the FF&E for this state-of-the-art teaching and learning center, ensuring seamless integration with the architectural and interior elements. The result is a dynamic, functional space that enhances both instruction and collaboration through thoughtful design choices. The lecture hall features tiered, curved desks paired with ergonomic orange seating with warm wood paneling and recessed linear lighting that create a welcoming yet modern atmosphere. In the lab spaces, flexible stainless steel workstations, durable materials, and ceiling-mounted equipment support hands-on learning in a clean, high-tech environment. Recognized for its outstanding design, the project has earned an AIA Tennessee Award for Design Excellence and the AIA East Tennessee Award of Honor for new construction. This forward-thinking facility sets a new standard for educational environments, blending functionality, technology, and aesthetics to support cutting-edge learning.
