West Virginia University Reynolds Hall

Reynolds Hall John Chambers School of Business and Economics is a newly constructed 168,000 square-foot addition to the West Virginia University (WVU) campus, featuring a double-height entry lobby complete with a massive social stair and a suspended Ideation Hub that floats above like a treehouse, as well as a 350-seat lecture hall and a fitness center.

The University’s goal was to write their next chapter in business education in a new home, transforming the campus by adding cutting edge technology and programs for WVU students, while paying homage to the Stansbury Hall site, a former basketball arena deeply rooted in the community and culture of the campus.
