Boston College, 245 Beacon Street—New Engineering Building
Newton, MA, United States
245 Beacon Street is sited prominently along Higgins Green in the Collegiate Gothic core of Boston College’s historic Middle Campus. The new 5-story 150,000 SF facility provides dedicated space for interdisciplinary research and liberal arts programs, is home to the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society and a new Human Centered engineering program.
This project explores the formal architectural language of the Middle Campus at Boston College to house state-of-the-art scientific programs in a Collegiate Gothic shell. The concept for the project is a building within a building—a crisp modern high-tech “machine” housing state-of-the research and teaching functions, floating independently from the historic shell. The building dramatically reveals its inner life at a single moment, the double-gable, a reentrant corner on the northwest corner directly on axis with the approach from the main quadrangle. It is at this moment when the robust stone exterior dematerializes between the two gable ends and is replaced with a four-story, butt-glazed curtainwall, revealing a five-story monumental stair and allowing the inner world to radiate outward.
