Classical Christian Honors College Renovation

University of Northwestern, St. Paul

Seeking a bespoke space for their newly established Classical Christian Honors College (CCHC) program, the University partnered with BWBR to renovate a wing of the iconic and historic Nazareth Hall. The space reinforces classical themes and a traditional feel through the juxtaposition of rich, dark woods and abundant natural light—honoring the building’s history and campus context while modernizing the feel and function.

The renovation supports the goals of the CCHC program by offering communal places for the cohort to gather for meals or study, and one large classroom space customized for its analog, discussion-based methodology. As well as providing an exceptional student experience, the new CCHC space is now a proud showcase for the program itself.
