The University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) hired Studio Modh Architecture in February of 2021 to convert a series of former study rooms into a new Center for Community and Outreach. While the UPENN SEAS had been supporting current and students in these efforts for more than forty years, the new space represents the School’s commitment to create safe and engaging spaces for students while they attend PENN and after they leave. Key to the programming efforts was to create a space that would foster engagement by alumni and students through mentorship, lecture, and events.
