PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Completed in 2015, Alvine Engineering was part of the design team that renovated Iowa State University’s Olsen Building office suites. What used to be a 5,000-GSF locker room was transformed into a modern office space with trendy lighting and modern amenities. The space is now home to the Athletics Department’s marketing staff, and its interior aesthetic matches the department’s flair and creativity.
