Description

Xavier University established its “To See Great Wonders” campaign to revolutionize the student learning experience. The centerpiece of this campaign was the James E. Hoff, S.J., Academic Quad – a 10-acre campus expansion to provide more resources for learning, entertaining and community engagement. An 88,000 sf Learning Commons was part of the project and provides students with the technologies to help them master skills and gain an advantage in their disciplines and fields.

Features

  • All work was completed ahead of schedule.
  • Coordination between Messer and the University ensured that construction did not interrupt campus operations. No roads were shut down so that access to the campus was maintained.
