More than 35 years had passed since Hope College had a dedicated student-center space. Dr. Richard Frost, Hope College Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students, saw a need for a student center that would appeal to all students, from all walks of life, and offer a relaxing dining, work, and collaborative environment. Landscape Forms worked with Dr. Frost and team, to bring this vision to the outdoor space as well.
Chill lounges allow students to relax and study near the outdoor fireplace. MultipliCITY Tables and Benches provide room for studying alone, or collaboratively.
Morrison Tables and Stools at both dining height and standing height, allow for dining, studying, and relaxing. All products were left freestanding for movement and to accommodate all aspects of patio usage.
