The Pennsylvania State University School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, University Park designed by Overland Partners | Architects is located in PA, United States is the University’s first major comprehensive attempt at sustainable design, and Penn State’s first project to involve a process for public participation and feedback. Nearly 100 students, faculty, staff and community stakeholders collaborated with Overland Partners to ensure a successful outcome.
Achieving consensus among the department heads, dean and faculty about the project’s mission was transformational, one of the few times that the two departments had agreed to common aspirations. The design that emerged from the charrette has transformed the School’s culture and brings new life into a former ‘back-of-house’ area of the campus.
