PSU Fariborz Maseeh Hall




Overview
PSU's Fariborz Maseeh Hall renovation transformed the once-dark hallways of the Brutalist-style building into a welcoming, modern academic hub. Each floor was tailored to departmental needs – Math, English, and Language – featuring standing-height tables and markerboards for collaboration, private seating for focused study, and café-style arrangements for flexible gathering. Curated furniture selections emphasize vibrant colors and playful curves while supporting the building's LEED Gold certification through durable, recycled, and low-VOC materials.
