Bob & Leona DeArmond College & University Center / Integrus Architecture

Meaningful site history as a native gathering place and, subsequently, a working sawmill laid ground to the inspiration for the design, program, and materials usage of the new Bob and Leona DeArmond College and University Center.  This storied history, and enthusiasm for unlocking potential through the collaborative experience, has inspired the design of this 29,000 sf, two-story Student Services, and Classroom building.  Unique cooperation between three institutions, Lewis-Clark State College, University of Idaho, and North Idaho College, honored their students by crafting an impactful and welcoming campus entrance statement that is rooted in the power of place.
