Influenced by the unique ecological phenomenon of its site in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, the 35,000 GSF addition to the Chamberlain Student Center at Rowan University creates ‘an agora of social and intellectual discovery’ among the pines. The building’s mass timber roof cascades down a sloping site, opening spatially and visually to the Campus Greenway beyond. An internal space is carved out of this slope to create a dynamic hub which contains student collaborative spaces. This ‘Agora in the Pines’ is filled with diverse program interests. Here, students, faculty, and staff can explore and participate in a wide variety of activities that promote collaboration and discovery, including a demonstration area where students can present their work in an open forum. Native plantings populate the outdoor plaza and indoor amphitheater reminding occupants of their unique location in the world.
Sustainable approaches are integrated and support the biophilic concept of an Agora in the Pines for the expansion. The stepping mass timber roof reduces embodied carbon and provides a warm comfortable interior environment that promotes well-being. Overhead light monitors diffuse northern daylight throughout the center ensuring every space has access to natural light. The exterior columns and ceramic coating on the exterior glazing significantly reduce heat gain and are reinterpretations of their siting adjacent to the Pine Barrens. The irregular columns recall the Atlantic Cedar forest while the ceramic frit coating is a graphic reinterpretation of the pinecone. These exterior envelope elements assisted us in designing and specifying a high-efficiency low-energy HVAC system.
