Natural light floods the space through a two story glass curtainwall and a skylight rotunda. The atmosphere is complete with modern interiors and comfortable waiting areas with modern green and grey furniture. A custom 20’ x 30’ hanging art feature inspired by the Ohio River sets the tone for a nature-centric healing environment. Glass panels in shades of green, blue, orange, teal, and brown are suspended, creating the illusion of waves. Additionally, a second hanging art installation is suspended over an interior stone garden, symbolizing movement and transformation. This image shows BSA's expertise in interior design.
This image shows a modern interior hallway of Barnes Science Hall with an industrial-chic design. The space features exposed ductwork on the ceiling, a bright blue accent wall on the left, and polished concrete floors. To the right is a lounge area with vibrant lime green chairs on a blue patterned carpet. Natural light streams in through large windows along the right side. Two people can be seen - one walking down the corridor and another ascending a modern staircase with wooden accents at the far end. The space combines functionality with contemporary design elements typical of modern educational or office environments.
A contemporary collaborative space in Barnes Science Hall featuring a modern industrial design with exposed ceiling elements and hanging silver pendant lights. The area includes wooden wall panels accented by vibrant vertical moss installations, creating a biophilic element amid concrete columns. Bright blue accent walls add color to the light wood flooring, while glass railings lead to different levels. Bar-height seating is visible on the left, and a person walks down a corridor in the distance, highlighting the open, flowing layout designed for interaction and study.
