Western Kentucky University Commons at Helm Library

Bowling Green, Kentucky

Fulfilling a desire to create a new destination for students, faculty, and the campus community, the Commons at Helm Library is a new intellectual hub at the historic academic heart of campus. A team of Gensler education designers worked in partnership with the architect of record, Luckett & Farley, and the university, to develop a vision and program that combines social spaces — such as food services venues that can accommodate 900 guests — along with library and student support spaces to transform the daily life of campus-based students as well as commuter students. Located within a 1930s building that originally housed the university gymnasium, the campus project completely reconfigures and reimagines the space, while respecting the history of the building.

Western Kentucky University Commons at Helm Library received an IIDA Illinois RED Award.

Là cư dân lâu năm của Big Apple, chúng tôi sẽ là những người đầu tiên thừa nhận rằng việc ngắm nhìn New York vào cuối tuần là điều gần như không thể—thành phố đa diện có rất nhiều lớp nên việc đi qua một mặt cắt ngang thực sự sẽ mất nhiều thời gian hơn một chuyến đi duy nhất cho phép
