Architectural Record - November 2024

2024 November

For November, RECORD surveys college and university projects extending well beyond the lecture hall: an art center, a vertical innovation hub, an academic district melding renovation and new construction, a mass-timber addition for an architecture school, and an amenity-filled student housing complex. Meanwhile, the Building Technology–focused CE section keeps with the higher education theme, detailing carbon-saving initiatives that range from enclosure retrofits and high-performance facades to adaptive-reuse strategies and seismically tuned hybrid mass-timber structures. Off campus, we profile projects in China, Switzerland, and Martha’s Vineyard, where the House of the Month is located.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
