Science is Fun, Science is Curiosity 

This fall semester at Missouri State University (MSU), the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CNAS) has a new space to call home.

MSU celebrated the Roy Blunt Hall Addition with a dedication ceremony and official opening in early September, marking a major milestone with Phase 1 of the building’s transformation now complete.

Three guiding themes have helped shape the vision for Blunt Hall— enable research, increase visibility of science, and provide for the future of CNAS. The Blunt Hall Addition advances this vision though the introduction of new flexible and state-of-the-art laboratories, updated lecture halls, and collaborative spaces that enhance teaching and research.

The Las Vegas Civic Center and Plaza celebrates grand opening, creating an important civic campus and community amenity in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas

The Downtown Las Vegas Civic Center and Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza officially opened to the public with an official ribbon cutting ceremony in early September. The project creates a new municipal campus and focal point of the developing civic and governmental district in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Our collaborative design team of BNIM, LGA Architects, and OJB Landscape Architects led the design of important civic campus. Envisioned as a catalyst for activation and growth, the project serves both as a centralized workplace bringing together multiple city departments and an introduction of much-needed community gathering and outdoor space in the heart of downtown.
