What We Did

Gateway was remodeling the second floor of their Academic Building right in the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. EBI was striving to create a safe and productive learning environment for students and faculty during this pandemic, as well as have the space prepared to transition to a more normal higher education environment. We achieved this with use of freestanding room dividers throughout lounge and meeting areas, larger walkways through classrooms that would allow room to expand class sizes in the future, and easily cleanable surfaces for disinfecting. The design and furniture specified allowed Gateway to continue to achieve their academic goals for their students during this uncertain time, and transition to the hands-on industry focused education that has made them so successful for the past century.
