As Homecoming approaches this week-end for Otterbein University we are sharing a seldom-seen example of gorgeous 1870’s Victorian design in the Towers Hall Philomathean Room. When Nvironment was tasked with breathing new life into the underappreciated historic gathering space in 2016, we jumped at the opportunity. Our result presents a period-appropriate solution that marries the classical elements of Victorian style with a focus on modern-day student needs.
