The award-winning Africana Studies Center at Cornell University was one of four projects showcased in the Brick Industry Association’s annual Brick in Architecture insert in the July issue of Architectural Record.
The $4,000,000 facility includes 6,000 new s.f. and 11,600 renovated s.f. of space. The palette and pattern of the Center’s brick exterior were inspired by the design of African textiles. The simplicity of the Center’s construction allowed the design team to meet the challenge of budget while satisfying its program, aesthetic and durability.
The project was completed in December 2005.
