We are thrilled to announce that we’ll be guiding Cornell University in the planning of the College of Engineering Facility Master Plan Update.

PAYETTE has had the pleasure of being an integral part of Cornell University’s College of Engineering for the past five years. Our initial involvement began with the comprehensive Master Plan started in 2011, which lead to multiple subsequent implementation projects in Weill Hall, Upson Hall, Olin Hall and the recently named R&D Magazine Renovated Lab of the Year Kimball Hall.

We look forward to working with the College of Engineering developing creative solutions for the next series of strategic questions that will create an exciting new space for cutting-edge research, irresistible spaces for students and next generation teaching spaces.
Sandrine Héroux, Sophie McKenzie, and Emily Chowdhury are each members of our in-house Fabrication team. Their day-to-day work centers on a simple question: what changes when design becomes something people can physically test?
These women challenge the notion of fabrication as a support service, framing it instead as an essential component of architectural authorship, a way to test ideas, share agency, and widen the boundaries of what architectural practice can include.
In our most recent blog, they discuss their individual paths in architecture and reflect on their experience using fabrication as a tool for fostering shared agency, community engagement and broadening the role of the architect. Link in bio!
