The seminary's former library (below) is now a classroom, and another space has been adapted as the faculty lounge (bottom left). The "colonnade," (bottom right), a glazed circulation space that is on the perimeter of the lounge, connects the first floor main entry to east wing office suite of the Beckman Institute. A lobby within the new addition (opposite) has furnishings to accommodate casual study. Key Design Highlights A new main entrance and an addition connect the three historic buildings that comprised the seminary. Former religious spaces have been adapted with secular uses: Chapels now serve as presentation spaces and the Graduate Commons. The seminary's library has been transformed into a seminar room with audio-visual equipment concealed within its ornate shell. New materials were carefully selected to complement but not compete with the original brick and limestone buildings. 66 contractdesign.com MARCH 2016http://www.contractdesign.com
