WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY | Gephardt Institute 

St. Louis, Missouri

The Gephardt Institute for Public Service promotes lifelong civic engagement and sustained community impact through educationally-based service initiatives at Washington University in St. Louis. V Three Studios was charged with relocating this group from an off campus location into the third floor of Washington Universities’ Danforth University Center. They required a open and inviting modern work space for students and the public alike to visit. The space had to provide flexibility for groups and individuals to access technology and resources provided by the institute in its new on-campus home. Simple materials such as natural wood and lots of glazing were implemented to create a open inviting environment.
