May 25, 2021The first floor of Vernon Smith Hall has been converted into an innovation pilot space, foreshadowing work that will be done in Mason’s new Arlington Campus building.
Horizon Hall, at the center of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Fairfax Campus, was conceived as a crossroads where faculty and students in many disciplines can meet and exchange ideas. The multistory Word Wall that greets visitors in the building’s atrium embodies this vision.
