From the 2022 Architectural Portfolio: Butler University, Sciences Complex Addition and Renovation

The Sciences Complex Renovation and Expansion at Butler University in Indianapolis, Ind., is all about connections. At the most literal level, the Levinson Family Hall Addition project connects two 1970s-era buildings—Gallahue Hall and Holcomb Building—without erasing their distinctive international style. But it also calls for gathering dispersed departments and programs under one roof, marrying historically significant science programs with modern lab and classroom facilities, and creating spaces where students and faculty can collaborate. To create a more welcoming space, the team designed open and bright modular labs that permit greater flexibility. Designs enable laboratory spaces to expand and contract as required and accommodate highly specialized and broad research.
