ABA designed the award-winning Nulman Lewis Student Center on The Wheeler School’s Providence, Rhode Island, campus.
The new 10,000-sf Student Center serves as a campus gateway, linking two historic structures, the Alumni House and Student Union, and providing easy passage along a new campus spine. Clad with a distinctive horizontal glass and zinc panel curtain wall system, this building combines visibility and opacity. Designed and constructed to LEED Standards, student center includes a green roof, a daylight-harvesting lighting system, high-efficiency MEP systems, and a high-performance building envelope responsive to solar orientation and gain.
The Nulman Lewis Student Center received design excellence awards from the Boston Society of Architects and AIA New England Design Award from the American Institute of Architects. The project was also featured in the July 2009 issue of Architectural Record.
