Other Projects by Glave & Holmes Architecture
Carole Weinstein International Center, University of Richmond
Richmond, VA, United States
-Palladio Award 2011, New Design & Construction, Traditional Building Magazine
The University of Richmond campus is distinguished by its Gothic Revival architecture, including several early buildings by noted nineteenth century architect Ralph Adams Cram. Recently named by Newsweek magazine as the “hottest school for International Studies,” the University required a new facility to house the International Studies Program and related fields of study. Glavé & Holmes Architecture was commissioned to design this 56,194 square foot academic facility which sits prominently near the east entrance of the University’s idyllic campus, and is one of the first buildings to greet visitors.
The inspiration for the design came from the academic mission the building will serve and its surrounding physical context. A courtyard building type was chosen as the basis for the design because of the prevalence of courtyards throughout most cultures and time periods. Loggia with iconographic medallions mark the primary north and south entries and are articulated in the Neo-Gothic architectural language established for the campus. Enhancing the central courtyard is a globe-inspired fountain and intricate stone mandala comprised of stones from 50 countries around the world. An amphitheater with teaching wall anchors the north-south axis and provides outdoor classroom space. An international-themed café adjoins the Multipurpose Room, which opens to the Courtyard and to the campus beyond. Silver LEED certification is anticipated for this project.
