Work has been completed on a new, 107.6k sf Innovation and Instruction Building for California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH). The $66.5 mil project was built by C.W. Driver Companies.
The new four-story structure features a 250-seat auditorium for teaching and symposia, one 120-seat active learning classroom, two 60-seat case study-rooms, meeting rooms, computer labs, event spaces, faculty and administration offices, a commercial kitchen, and a café. The new home of the College of Business Administration and Public Policy, the building opened for classes in spring 2022.
The ground floor welcomes students and visitors with an open lobby, a four-story atrium, advising center, and student café. The active learning classroom doubles as a university event center with kitchen support and is designed to host speakers and conferences and also serve as a banquet space. A 250-seat classroom on the ground floor is utilized as an active-learning environment.
The building’s second floor is comprised of classrooms and computer labs. A simulated trading room with lighted ticker tape information, as well as one 60-seat case-study room (there is a second case study room on the third floor)—as promulgated by the Harvard Business School model—are unique assets to students in the College of Business. A small broadcast room accommodates interactive lectures as well as distance learning. The third and fourth floors are comprised of 92 faculty and departmental offices as well as additional classrooms.
All four levels are connected by a central open stairway that enhances visibility of the programs and interactions of the students, faculty, administration and community.
The Innovation & Instruction Building is part of the school’s larger initiative to transform the campus with major capital projects that include the Science and Innovation Building, completed by C.W. Driver Cos. in 2019. C.W. Driver Companies partnered with HGA Architects & Engineers on the CSUDH Innovation and Instruction Building.
