Schaumburg, IL (Oct. 14, 2026)<\/em> \u2014 School is back in session, and Purdue University Northwest started the semester with a brand-new dorm and upgraded classroom office building, with support from Pulse Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulse Technology\u2019s long-standing partnership with Purdue University Northwest (PNW) includes the recent completion of major furnishing projects for both the university\u2019s Classroom Office Building (CLO) and the newly constructed Calumet Hall dormitory. The mission with Calumet Hall was to create a space for students to thrive, with furniture designed to meet students\u2019 needs as they live and study on the campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the Classroom Office Building project, the Pulse team collaborated with PNW\u2019s Amy Snyder, Senior Interior Designer of Campus Planning & Design, to create an innovative environment where students can study, collaborate, and connect. The furnishings were carefully selected to elevate the campus aesthetic while fostering a strong sense of community. The design seamlessly integrates the school\u2019s iconic gold, black, and silver color palette across various seating arrangements, tables, and architectural details along a main walkway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Calumet Hall, the design strategy shifted slightly to blend collaborative functionality with a comfortable, residential atmosphere. While common areas remain optimized for academic collaboration, the space prioritizes premium soft seating designed for student relaxation. To cultivate a warmer, more inviting environment distinct from the CLO, the color scheme features a vibrant palette of greens, blues, and oranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire Pulse Technology team, including Matt Leake and Jolee Allerding, has collaborated closely with PNW over the past several years to bring these vision-driven spaces to life. \u201cWe are honored to support PNW\u2019s growth and look forward to continuing our successful partnership in the future,\u201d said Jolee Allerding, senior project designer, Indiana branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
