A renovation does more than transform a building - it brings new life to a neighborhood. The former Erie Business Center is now a vibrant, welcoming resource for students, staff, and the surrounding community, with light-filled gathering spaces, playful design details, and flexible spaces for learning and connection.
As Dave Tamulonis of the Erie Downtown Partnership puts it, the project has “dramatically transformed” 9th Street, setting an example for how thoughtful design can encourage interaction and community building. From inviting outdoor seating to a cozy lobby and colorful interiors, this project puts people at the heart of the experience.
Great design doesn’t just change how a building looks. It changes how people connect.
