We are thrilled to announce we are working with Skidmore College on their new Science Center. This is an exciting new project for our firm and we look forward to working with Skidmore College to expand their science programs.
Skidmore College emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to all areas of study as well as a distinctive combining of liberal arts with professional programs. A central belief at Skidmore is that every life and every endeavor is made more profound with creative ability at its core, and creative thinking is an integral part of the campus culture. The cornerstone of the curriculum is the belief that a liberal arts education is the best preparation both for a life of continued learning and for a meaningful career, particularly as graduates face the challenges and opportunities of a world of rapid and unpredictable change.
The science programs at Skidmore focus on both disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas in the natural sciences and mathematics with majors offered in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Studies/Science, Geosciences, Health and Exercise Sciences, Neuroscience, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center recently completed a new inpatient building in the heart of Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. A rich texture and palette of materials adorn the wall along the base of the building. Polished black granite forms the watercourse and seat walls, warm gray granite is used on the large wall panels, and an alternating texture of black granite, green glazed terracotta, and weathered steel is applied to the vertical recesses between the granite wall panels.
This design accentuates key elements in the landscape and introduces an intimate human scale and craftsmanship to the pedestrian realm.
