Project Details

The unadorned, structural-brick volumes of this 44,000-square-foot facility (which includes the performance hall, library and classrooms) establishes a strong presence on the campus while organizing and containing the adjacent campus green. The interior is designed to reconnect the user to the campus—through framed views—and to the distant landscape. In establishing a campus architectural language, the building reinforces a sense of place.
