FACILITATING COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION

Nestled amidst the University of Wyoming’s sprawling campus, the Science Initiative Building is a testament to an unwavering commitment. Scientific exploration and innovation. This state-of-the-art facility, completed in 2022, brings together The Center for Advanced Scientific Imaging (CASI), core facilities within the Center for Integrative Biological Research (CIBR), and Active Learning Classrooms (ALC) under one roof. It is a collaborative space for groundbreaking research and immersive learning.

The Science Initiative Building's architects, GSG and Perkins Will, pictured furniture that seamlessly blended into the building's modern aesthetic while also supporting the many requirements of students and teachers. They turned to HOWE for solutions that could tastefully enhance the building's functionality, promoting the lively learning space envisioned.

HOWE's stackable chairs and pieces dedicated to the educational sector proved to be an ideal choice for the project. Their sleek, modern design complemented the building's architectural style, while their versatility and durability made them adaptable to the space’s ever-changing needs. SixE chairs can be easily arranged to accommodate various configurations, from small group discussions to large lectures. This flexibility lets instructors and researchers tailor their environment to suit specific tasks and preferences.
