The Simon Center’s transformation from a biology building to a vibrant hub for economics and policy studies at Lafayette College has created a dynamic learning environment. A new on-grade entrance makes it inviting and accessible to all. By converting the outdated structure into a modern, light-filled space, we’ve enhanced student collaboration and faculty productivity. 

The 35,000 SF building includes 32 faculty offices, 10 classrooms, and various meeting spaces. The classrooms feature AV/IT systems, and dedicated labs facilitate state-of-the-art learning, including a Bloomberg Lab. Classroom sizes vary, and flexible furniture allows for easy reconfiguration. Meeting spaces are located throughout the four stories of the building, ranging from formal meeting rooms to informal collaboration areas in the center core.
