B. The Berney Family Welcome Center: The donor recognition wall at the Berney Family Welcome Center exhibits the names of 27 families, individuals and organizations central in funding the center’s construction. The design features a sculptural rendition of a visual word cloud, with the scale of each name relative to the size of each contribution.
Housed in a historic sports stadium, the $20 million the Berney Family Welcome Center combines three key aspects of student life into one location: a welcoming Great Room; new Student Services; and a Career Center. The Great Room and Career Center bookend the building while Admissions and Financial Aid are situated at the center. Previously, these resources were scattered across campus. Now, the Center offers an integrated student life experience.
Working in collaboration with the Kansas State University Foundation, we developed the design strategy, language and graphic elements to recognize the generosity of the Center’s donors.
