The Collaborative -

Situated on nearly 200 acres of limestone bluffs, Luther College’s campus was uniquely shaped by its topography. Like many private institutions, it faced enrollment declines during COVID, leaving surplus space that no longer aligned with its needs.

This plan reshuffled space, enhanced accessibility, and addressed deferred maintenance.

Organized around four themes—Optimization, Student Success, Student Life, and Legacy/Identity—the plan includes major classroom renovations, a reimagined library, a new wellness building, student center upgrades, classroom improvements, and a signature walk showcasing campus history.
