It\u2019s important to have spaces that let people hang out together and have coffee and a sandwich, so they don&#8217;t feel isolated, and ideally build lifelong friendships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s value in coming to a campus you don\u2019t know and seeing it with \u201cfresh eyes\u201d\u2014but having lived here, and walked the campus in every season and every hour, helps me a lot in the design process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\"><strong>How has campus changed since you were a student?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s definitely more dense, and there&#8217;s more variety in architectural types and styles. There used to be more open and rugged green space; a lot of the buildings on West Campus, for example, were smaller and that area didn&#8217;t feel as urbanized. The addition of more modern buildings has given parts of campus a different feel, with a bigger scale and more activity\u2014generally in a good way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also a much stronger physical connection [from the Arts Quad and its environs] to the Ag Quad and the Vet college, which has been hugely impactful, as interdisciplinary collaboration has grown in importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A rendering of Atkinson Hall\" class=\"wp-image-6399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-608x342.jpg 608w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-304x171.jpg 304w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-152x85.jpg 152w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-1184x666.jpg 1184w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-592x333.jpg 592w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Atkinson-Hall-from-tower-road-A-296x166.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The multidisciplinary Atkinson Hall, set to be completed on Tower Road\u2014overlooking the Botanic Gardens\u2014in 2024. <em>(Rendering by Lake Flato Architects)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\"><strong>Is a university architect under particular pressure, given that decisions you make today could have repercussions a century from now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a very real thing. I see it a couple of ways, one of which is the need to preserve historic buildings. And when we design new buildings or refresh existing ones, a lot of thought and financial investment goes into making them more flexible than they&#8217;ve ever been in the past, because of the fast rate of change in how we work and use technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\"><strong>Once a firm is selected to design a building, what\u2019s your office\u2019s role?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We guide them and help them connect with the people they&#8217;re designing for\u2014sort of like a translator. We don&#8217;t want a building to just represent the character of an individual architect; it has to look like Cornell, and represent the institution as a whole. And when you get the right firm, it&#8217;s magic\u2014the project flows and people learn from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"An infographic about the Ithaca campus\" class=\"wp-image-6429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-608x342.jpg 608w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-304x171.jpg 304w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-152x85.jpg 152w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-1184x666.jpg 1184w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-592x333.jpg 592w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b-296x166.jpg 296w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UniversityArchitect-4b.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\"><strong>Does Cornell&#8217;s location\u2014on a steep hill bound by gorges on two sides\u2014make it especially challenging as a building site?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely! It&#8217;s like no other campus I can think of. But the biggest challenge is also the biggest asset: the complex topography, slopes, and distant views make building here much more interesting. Anybody can design a box and put it on a flat site, but when it needs to step down three stories on one side and avoid a cliff on another, the design team has to think really, really hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing is that Cornell has an enormous footprint, with all the buildings and open spaces spread out. The diversity of those facilities can lead to visual chaos; trying to make the campus feel like a community is challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>  Having lived here, and walked the campus in every season and every hour, helps me a lot in the design process.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\"><strong>What are some of your favorite spots on the Hill?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uris Library, to me, is one of the most beautiful university buildings in the U.S. The top of McGraw Tower, where the chimes are, is iconic and probably the most unique space on campus. At the end of Tower Road is an amazing atrium in the middle of the Vet college\u2014a very modern, wonderful, inviting gathering space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balch Hall\u2014I worked in the dining hall there when I was a student\u2014is another beautiful one.
