Abstract: Community, connection, and interdisciplinary collaboration are vital in the art and design world. As creatives, we seek deeper links between our work, people, and the environment. My thesis, REBORN, applies adaptive reuse strategies to Georgia State University’s Arts & Humanities and Sparks Hall, transforming them into a unified space for the Welch School of Art & Design. The project integrates holistic design—an approach that considers lighting, materials, acoustics, layout, and sensory experience to support users’ physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. REBORN demonstrates how thoughtful design fosters creativity, collaboration, and wellness for students, faculty, and staff. The resulting space will be balanced, sustainable, and welcoming—supporting diverse artistic practices while strengthening connections between physical and creative environments. By addressing how interior design impacts well-being, the project aims to create a stress-free, inclusive space that promotes better academic outcomes and performance within the Welch School of Art & Design.
