What Light! SAAHP Sklylight Replacement complete

July 31st, 2012 by swhite

While it is sometimes difficult to get excited about building maintenance, the skylight replacement completed this June and July has transformed the school! The light now restored to studio spaces, hallways and the Architecture Library from mid-June to mid-July is clear and inspiring. Kite Architects, Providence designed the installation, following through on their 1985 and 2005 AIA Award winning original design and expansion. Thanks to Albert Garcia, AIA, Principal, and Kyle Bamrick, AIA, Associate from Kite, thanks to Behan Brothers Construction led by Jeff Lipshires, and the RWU team led by Steve Terrien. All shared a celebratory 72-foot long subway sandwich on July 13 in the fabulous Main Hall of the school, appreciating the longest length of the new skylight installation.
