Detailed information

A renovation that reshapes the past—at Wellesley College Science Complex, the original structures have been reimagined with nearly 100,000 sq. ft. of new space, all designed to meet LEED Platinum standards. The Douglas Fir glulam Timber Curtain Wall complements the existing architecture, with 16-meter spliced mullions creating uninterrupted vertical lines. A precise balance of engineered wood and expansive glazing, designed to stand the test of time.
