The University of Baltimore offers numerous courses — from law and economics to communication, health and even cyber-technology. In addition to students’ personal careers, the list of values that the institution has committed itself to also includes the pursuit of knowledge, the common good and responsibility.
To encourage dialogue on its campus, the expansive buildings have been equipped with seating groups featuring Rolf Benz 290 arranged in inviting, U-shaped configurations. Their orange and yellow signal colours direct the eye from afar to the possibility of relaxed, casual conversations.
Furniture has an influence on our behaviour. It can encourage communication and activities or offer a space in which to retreat.
