Wight & Company was asked to breathe new life into an empty gallery space (formerly a grocery store) at the University of Illinois at Chicago by creating a collaborative learning environment for their multi-disciplinary studies program. Together with The Rise Group, Wight developed a resourceful plan that enabled Motorola to use much of the existing equipment and architecture. In this environment, UIC students face real business challenges as they work with UIC faculty and Motorola researchers.

Project highlights include:

> Six Motorola research teaming areas

> Dynamic group learning environments

> State of the art Haptics lab

> “Smart” conference room

> “Thinkubater” plenary/multipurpose classroom

> Material shop and library
