SQUARE COFFEE
Location: Vol Walker Hall 459 N Campus Walk, Fayetteville, AR 72701
Description: Tasked with reimagining a wing of the architecture building, students designed a coffee shop and added a connective form of a found object. The project served as an exercise in adaptive reuse, testing how a reclaimed item could define the character and layout of the space. Concept: The new coffee bar at Vol Walker Hall is designed as a sophisticated, collaborative hub that transcends its primary function to become a vital oasis for the studio community. By harmonizing sleek, modern finishes with the building’s existing contemporary aesthetic, the design seamlessly continues the interior language of the hall while celebrating the University of Arkansas identity through the strategic use of its prominent red. This vibrant color serves as a visual anchor within the space, energizing the versatile environment to support both focused individual study and spontaneous social interaction.
