Goal: The new School of Law building on the Washburn University campus focuses on providing high-quality, collaborative learning environments to foster the education of its law students. Washburn desired to create interior spaces that encourage collaboration between faculty and students in teaching, studying, and research. This included classroom spaces in a variety of configurations, as well as a trial courtroom for hands-on training. The building would also house a new law clinic for public use.

Scope: After a thorough vetting process, John A. Marshall Co. was proud to be chosen as the sole furniture dealer for the project. Our team provided furnishings for two floors that included private offices and workstations for staff, as well as multiple classrooms, small and large meeting rooms, a library, and three courtrooms. We also designed collaboration spaces and lounges where students and faculty can gather to study, work or socialize.

All product was delivered and installed by our in-house installation team utilizing our John Marshall Performance System (JMPS) to increase on-site efficiency, reduce waste, and allow other contractors to easily work in concert with our installers.

In addition to furnishings, our commercial flooring division, FDC Contract, provided several flooring solutions throughout the entire facility.

The final product? Washburn School of Law provides a modern, yet classic, environment that fosters learning and growth for its students and faculty, now and for years to come.
