We are excited to showcase our highlight video of the Western Michigan University Dunbar Hall Renovation. Partnered with HGA, we transformed Dunbar Hall into a vibrant, sustainable, and student-centered space! Since 1971, Dunbar Hall has been the beating heart of WMU’s College of Arts & Sciences. After a complete transformation focused on flexibility, accessibility, and modern learning, it’s once again a central hub on campus! Dunbar now "puts learning on display" like never before! Catch clear views of the Media Studio, Dance Studio, and cutting-edge spaces designed to showcase student creativity and innovation. The Media Suite boasts top-tier broadcasting, podcasting, and journalism tools, while the eye-catching glass addition and state-of-the-art dance studio add even more to this revitalized space. Wayfinding was key to making Dunbar more accessible: pops of WMU Gold at entrances and a mix of colors inside help students navigate. Each piece of furniture was chosen with flexibility in mind, empowering students and faculty to arrange spaces for any need. This sustainable design also includes high-efficiency systems, green roofs, and bird-safe glass. Our Building Science team is now seeking LEED Gold certification for Dunbar Hall! https://lnkd.in/gNpubpHd

It wouldn't be the end of the year without an update on our annual holiday-giving challenge! Each holiday season, our teams unite for a spirited and friendly giving competition. This year, we're proud to share that more than $24,000 was raised in support of charitable causes within our communities! Combined with a company match, the TowerPinkster team donated more than $27,000 this holiday season to support the missions of the Literacy Center of West Michigan, YWCA Kalamazoo, and Brandon's House Counseling Center. Congratulations to all of our team members and a huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time or donated this year. Happy Holidays! READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/gw6ScZzW
