The W.A. Franke College of Business at NAU

The W.A. Franke College of Business is a new 5-story building on the southern portion of Northern Arizona University's (NAU) campus. The facility includes state-of-the-art computer labs, classrooms, seminar and conference rooms, a student common area, cafe, offices, an auditorium and business development areas.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
The goal was two-fold: to design a LEED-certified (achieved gold level) building, providing NAU a sustainable, energy-efficient structure with low maintenance costs, as well as a facility that would serve as a landmark for the South Campus. Aesthetically, the design reflects the technical and professional environment of the College of Business Administration. The interior design promotes and fosters student and faculty interaction and communication.
