Huntington Hall Invited Competition
Huntington Hall Invited Competition
French 2D was one of three invited teams asked to submit
a proposal for the creation of a new Lobby and Ramped Entrance to
Huntington Hall, for the SU School of Education. The proposed design
focuses on two themes: the School of Education’s efforts in creating
increased access and attention to special needs and the desire for an
open and increases presence on the public Marshall St. side of
Huntington Hall.
The approach to the project recognized the
transformative qualities of the School of Education in its mission and
through its practice and echoed this through a design which negotiated
the seven foot sectional shift between the lobby and ground plane. The
lobby space spills out into the side walk, drawing the exterior in
while multiplying the interior out via a faceted reflective surface at
the ceiling, producing an active material and spatial resonance between
community and university.
