The design intent for UW’s Oak Hall was threefold – create flexible spaces for mixed activities, embrace the campus as a community, and highlight the views and physical connection to the outdoors.

As a university globally recognized for leadership in sustainability, it felt fitting to use natural elements as design inspiration – water being the theme for Oak Hall. Tones of blue and green establish a tranquil atmosphere, echoing views of the surrounding greenery and newly revitalized Denny Field.
