Arizona State University Wilson Hall

The transformation of Arizona State University's Wilson Hall reflects the university's commitment to creating purposeful and innovative spaces that support its growing academic programs. The new five-story, 178,000-square-foot facility replaces the original 1956 residence hall, offering a blend of modern design and functionality. With 19 state-of-the-art classrooms, customizable balcony spaces, and shaded walkways, Wilson Hall is designed to meet the needs of today’s students and faculty while contributing to the vibrancy of the campus. The open "canyon" at the ground level creates an all outdoor flow for pedestrian traffic and fosters a sense of community in the heart of campus.

This ambitious project was made possible through the collaboration of multiple partners, including RSP Architects, Corporate Interior Systems, OFS and others. The design prioritizes sustainability and adaptability, ensuring that Wilson Hall remains a cornerstone of the ASU campus for decades to come. This collective effort highlights the power of partnerships in achieving ASU's vision of building spaces that inspire and support academic excellence.
