A Special Feature of DJC.COM Oct. 27, 2022 |

Founders Hall, the first mass-timber building on the University of Washington campus, greatly enhances the capacity of the Michael G. Foster School of Business. Leveraging UW’s progressive design-build delivery model, Hoffman and our design-build partner LMN delivered a learning facility that cultivates diverse student-facing programs to further the school’s interactive culture of learning, strategic thinking, and entrepreneurial initiative.

By ROBERT SMITH and KATE WESTBROOK LMN Architects The Foster School of Business at the University of Washington is one of the oldest and most prestigious business schools in the Pacific Northwest, with a history that dates back to 1917. Over the past two decades, the business school has partnered with LMN Architects to reimagine its campus, designing an interconnected set of spaces that both foster the growth of a social ecosystem within the school and support its unique pedagogical goals.

As a replacement for an older 1960s building, the new Founder’s Hall needed to be highly sustainable to fit into a new campus plan for the future of the UW. It is designed to achieve a 79% reduction in energy consumption over the first 60 years of its life.
