A two-story, 836-m2<\/sup> (9,000-sf) expansion of Missouri State University\u2019s Kemper Hall has recently been completed by St. Louis-based firm, Trivers.<\/p>\n

The new Construction Education Success Center features a 297-m2<\/sup> (3,200-sf), double-height training lab that is nearly 9-m (30-ft) high, allowing students to gain experience with full-scale construction activities, including the use of aerial lifts and crane operation. It also features student collaboration areas, modern classrooms, and restrooms, as well as outdoor balcony spaces.<\/p>\n

Located at the northwest corner of Kemper Hall, the new center also harmonizes with the existing building\u2019s design.<\/p>\n

The transparent, light-filled addition was designed to complement the original brutalist structure. Glass elements in the lobby create a visual connection to the first building, while the double-height training lab features a translucent wall system that brings in ambient daylight.<\/p>\n

The completion of the center builds on Trivers\u2019 ongoing collaboration with Missouri State University to design spaces that inspire learning and innovation across campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
