At the Harvard Science Center in Boston, Leers Weinzapfel Associates has transformed shared spaces and common areas into an inviting, relaxed, and engaging atmosphere that also fosters a social and collaborative experience for students.

The furnishings and graphic walls in custom CNC-cut wool felt feature new palettes of bright colors, bringing visual interest and a lively atmosphere to common areas. The large, eclipse and physics-inspired graphics draw students in, anchor collaborative lounge areas, and enhance acoustic performance where groups naturally gather. Throughout a predominantly concrete building, the design team turned to wool felt to offer a sense of softness, warmth, and comfort.
