Columbia University Engineering Department Offices

SGS's renovation of this suite on the thirteenth floor of Columbia University's Mudd Building created a comfortable, bright workspace for professors and graduate students in the Electrical Engineering department of the School of Engineering & Applied Sciences (SEAS). The open work area runs between the corridor and private offices along the exterior wall, with large double-paned glass partitions provide abundant access to natural light and connections to the outdoors and other areas of the building. The teal acoustic baffles suspended from the ceiling not only dampen noise but also serve as a striking design feature, cut into an undulating waveform that spans the length of the suite. Open workstations for graduate students are arranged in 4-person clusters bookended by the private office of their faculty advisor and a window onto the corridor or a tackable wall for collaborative work.
