Montana State University Jabs Hall
The new College of Business introduced revolutionary campus gathering and social learning spaces, previously absent at MSU. The LEED Gold design was inspired by and connects to the Big Sky landscape.
Designing for discovery with flexibility for the future
With a focus on natural light, appropriate scale, healthy materials, and flexibility, Hennebery Eddy plans and designs facilities to foster collaboration, promote belonging, and support an emerging workforce.

Building on decades of experience working directly with industry-leading companies, we design facilities to meet the changing needs of technology and manufacturing sectors. Through flexibility and transparency, our projects inspire students, adapt to faculty needs, and reflect the workforce training priorities of industry partners.
Science Education & Research
To foster scientific innovation and collaboration, we focus on long-term flexibility and healthy indoor environments — designing places that work for the science of today and of tomorrow.

Designs to foster belonging & a regenerative future
Equity & Engagement
Through a process informed by listening first, our team will help you plan and design a campus where students, faculty, and staff all share a sense of belonging. We prioritize equity and universal access early and are committed to a people-centered design process. By employing consensus-based decision-making and challenging the status quo, we engage diverse groups of student users and other stakeholders, involving those most impacted by the design decisions.
Carbon Reduction
We support institutions in creating carbon-positive campuses. Hennebery Eddy designs academic environments that not only use less energy and water but also consider embodied and operational carbon impacts. We use healthy materials and systems with low embodied carbon, that are locally and regionally sourced and offer transparency on ingredients and the manufacturing process. The result is healthy and efficient net-positive solutions for campuses and communities.
“In the capital funding process, legislators are recognizing the importance of maintenance and preservation, restoration, updating, and safety. This is a magnificent example of taking care of what you have, and in this one, designing to support – and even propel — the best into the future.”
— Oregon State Rep. Nancy Nathanson of Eugene on UO Chapman Hall Rehabilitation
Transformational Renovations
We love the challenge of transforming historic and existing buildings into vibrant and welcoming components of campus. Our approach is to leverage the “good bones” of a building — maintaining the defining architectural features while seamlessly integrating new programs, spaces, and systems. Hennebery Eddy has developed a specialized savvy in identifying and enhancing the inherent strengths of under-valued structures by making strategic design moves that breathe new life into outmoded spaces.
