The University of Akron
Hezzleton E. Simmons Hall

The Project
The new student affairs building, Simmons Hall, is 94,000 square feet and has 3 floors. Opened in time for the start of the fall 2004 semester, this new addition to campus is a place where students can register for classes, find employment, manage their financial affairs, and seek advice and counseling all in one building.

Large open office areas to accommodate many students are adjacent to a myriad of smaller offices for personal counseling and administration. To complete many of the collegiate responsibilities, a spacious customer service center resides on the first floor of the building. An indoor auditorium and an outdoor lawn area provide a meeting place for new student orientation and other events.
