Ever notice how a little sunshine and fresh air can instantly boost your mood? That feeling is exactly why we love biophilic design. By incorporating natural light, outdoor spaces, greenery, natural materials, and connections to nature, we create environments that help people feel healthier, happier, and, often, more productive.

This warm weather is the perfect reminder that nature isn't just something we visit—it's something we can design for. Check out some of our favorite biophilic design elements. ☀️🌳

From underutilized to inspiring, the Jody Richards Hall Student Technology Center renovation at Western Kentucky University brings new life to this media center known as The Hub. Recognizing that college students spend countless hours studying and collaborating in spaces like this, the reimagined lab was designed to create a modern, welcoming environment that fosters connection, productivity and WKU pride.

The redesign improves access to Topper Tech and offers a variety of gathering spaces, including computer workstations, study booths, meeting areas, and quiet reading nooks. Shipping container-inspired meeting spaces and decorative acoustical dividers add character while enhancing privacy throughout the space. Murals, graphics, and WKU’s signature red, white, and black colors are woven throughout the design, creating a vibrant atmosphere that celebrates the Hilltopper spirit.

Our Hill Topper alumni were thrilled to get to work on the project!

Welcome to Camp Hafer! 🏕️✨ This year’s Employee Appreciation Week is all about celebrating the fun, teamwork and spirit that make our staff so special!

Everyone has been divided into cabins for a week full of friendly competition, team bonding and camp-inspired fun. We kicked things off Monday with lunch and the big reveal of cabin names and chants — all part of the competition, of course!

Tuesday, we “hiked” to breakfast and rocked our craziest socks, and today featured tie dye day and fishing for prizes! 🎣

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!

We’ve loved partnering with the Mt. Vernon Parks and Recreation Department to help bring the new Brittlebank Pool to life. This new outdoor aquatic center will be a future destination for families, recreation and community for Mount Vernon and the surrounding area.

We’re excited to see this vision continue to take shape!
