Interior Design by Dale Partners

SUMMARY:

Dale Partners provided full architectural and interior design services for the restoration of the historic Christian Center on the campus of Millsaps College. This project includes the construction of a state-of-the art 150-seat lecture hall, high tech classrooms, faculty offices, suites, and seminar rooms to be used by multiple departments. The former theater is being transformed into a chapel that will be an open and light-filled space surrounded by an interior courtyard. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a chapel dome will infuse the interior with daylight. The building’s front façade, a long symbol of Millsaps College, will be restored and enhanced with a new clock tower which will be faithfully reconstructed to match the original.
