Renovations to Duquesne University’s Rockwell Hall create an innovative and dynamic environment to house the University’s School of Business and the newly established Student Success Center. Integration of advanced audiovisual systems was a key point in the renovation process, which further elevated Rockwell Hall to new heights of technological sophistication.
Classrooms were meticulously designed for both in-person and virtual learning, equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems that allow for interactive and engaging instruction. Students benefit from a seamless transition between physical and virtual learning environments, ensuring the flexibility to thrive in any setting. On the sixth floor, a prominent stock ticker serves as a valuable resource for students, providing real-time financial information and giving students the opportunity to foster a deeper understanding of the business world.
Dedicated study pods have also been implemented, providing students a designated quiet space for individual or group study sessions. The seventh floor boasts various conference and meeting rooms that are equipped with cutting-edge technology, allowing for smooth collaboration within the facility and through virtual presentations.
This versatile environment encourages teamwork, networking, and the exchange of ideas, which are all essential components of a comprehensive business education. The new & renovated spaces give students the opportunity for hands-on learning experiences that will help ease their path into post-graduate opportunities. This purposeful design empowers students to thrive in a rapidly evolving business landscape and prepares students to excel in the global marketplace.
