West Chester University sought the highest, best use for the last developable spaces on the West Chester, Pennsylvania, campus with a resource that promotes research, campus life, and education and restores programs that had been relegated to satellite locations. The Sciences & Engineering Center and The Commons creates an intersection of disciplines, breaking down traditional academic silos.
