Interior Photos of Chab Weyers Education and Hixson Lied Building
The Chab Weyers Education & Hixson Lied Art Building provides new offices and classrooms for Doane's nationally recognized education and art programs. The college's visitor center, and the Admission Office are housed on the lower level, providing easy access for prospective students. The building combines the best features of Doane's collegiate style architecture with prairie influences found throughout our historic buildings. Adjacent to Miller Pond and an arboretum, the building maximizes its site by providing a dramatic view of one of the most signature features of Doane College.
The new building is designed to inspire teaching and learning in a collaborative work environment. Color, texture, lighting and acoustics are used to create a comfortable and enriching setting for faculty, students, and staff. The materials used are long-lasting and environmentally friendly. Whenever possible, sustainable materials were used rather than those that unnecessarily deplete natural resources. The interiors are further tailored to each department, but all share a common palette of finishes.
