Modernizing Avery is a project that updates Avery Hall to address modern student needs. Working primarily on the upper floors, the design focuses on creating an extension of the floor plate with the goals of increasing studio sizes and introducing a multitude of communal spaces within the learning environment. These spaces primarily focus on sensory experiences such as light and touch but also bring in much-needed zones such as quiet work offices and dedicated model building areas. Additionally, the new extension is connected through an open atrium to bring in natural light and give a visual connection between floors. It also introduces a 2nd circulation system to help ease the congestion issues currently within Avery. Overall, the main goal of the project was to address the issues of space within our studio, and through the extension and design, each individual studio was able to nearly double in size, giving students more space for privacy, storage, and communal engagements.
