From nextSTL: Washington University in St. Louis has announced that architecture firm KieranTimberlake in Philadelphia has been chosen to design a signature building for the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts. To be located immediately north of Givens Hall at the corner of Hoyt and Brookings Drives, the approximately 80,000sf, $38M building will be home to graduate architecture students and other interdisciplinary space.
Big changes are on the horizon as the school plans to completely reconfigure the east end of campus. Conceptional renderings show Brookings Drive will become a dead end, while Hoyt Drive, at the base of the steps leading to Brookings Hall, will serve as access to an underground parking facility. The School of Engineering campus to the north of Brookings Drive will continue to expand, eventually eliminating existing surface parking. Up to 900 parking spaces may be placed underground with building access below grade as well.
