Southeast Missouri State University – Houck Stadium
IN PROGRESS
Boasting an accelerated schedule set to be complete in Fall of 2022, the stadium’s natural site is located within an existing quarry and will create a unique environment for many future athletic events.
Hollis + Miller was tasked with redesigning a new 10,000-seat stadium for Southeast Missouri State University to replace their 90-year-old existing stadium. Focusing on the player, fan and recruiting experience was key within Houck Field to help form a new identity for SEMO Athletics.
Located within an existing quarry, our team quickly seized the opportunity to expose the natural qualities of the rock to create a unique environment for fans to gather and engage with each other. Hollis + Miller illustrated the impact of a multi-phase project through 3D renderings and accurate cost assessments so the owner could understand each and every step to meet their goals. Sponsorships and partnerships were also a large part of the design. Thinking creatively with the athletic administration, areas were identified not only to bring in additional revenue, but further advance the student athletes’ experience through those partnerships. The redesign of Houck Field emulates the latest trends by not going for a sheer quantity of seats but focusing on the quality of the experiences within.

The impressive compass sculpture hanging from the exposed ceiling of the main corridor serves as a node, providing an interesting gathering space and guiding students to their new “home”, or learning environment.
The Wheat Ridge building of Compass Montessori Schools was previously utilized as a community farmer’s market building, leading to values deeply rooted in the Montessori method and a responsibility for every individual to learn self-sufficient skills. The family culture integrated into curriculum also shines through design of the new addition and renovation, with nods to agriculture through selection of materials and finishes. Large, flexible collaboration areas serve as gathering spaces and corridors all in one. Small group breakout spaces designed to mimic farmer’s market stalls allow for one-on-one instruction or personal reflection.
A variety of apartment options located on campus will offer students competitive housing in a convenient area.

Metropolitan Community College made the decision to relocate their programs from the existing Business & Technology campus to a location closer to the city and community, providing better visibility and access. Goals of moving into the former publishing house building included enhanced synergies between programs, access to public transit and new amenities supporting higher learning to prepare students fro the workforce.
Programs such as building maintenance, welding, HVAC, Industrial Technology and Computer Integrated Machining and Manufacturing allow the development of career skills and hands-on learning. The design team was tasked with adapting the current space into innovative makerspaces, classrooms, labs and more, connected by a central spine for socialization, while also developing the building itself as a learning tool. Flexibility was key, as spaces are used by both students and the community, encouraging local business partnerships and real-world opportunities for students.
Scheduled for completion January 2022
