Refreshing a Legacy
A graceful nod to the institution’s past, and a bold gesture to the school’s future, the renewal of Lehigh’s iconic Clayton University Center infuses new life into an outdated facility and positions it as a place for community connection at the heart of the historic campus. The design carefully integrated existing building fabric to preserve the space’s signature character while aligning with the university’s sustainability goals.
