Macalester College Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center

摘要

What we wrote in our January/February 2013 issue: The Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center is the Lincoln Center of Macalester College in St. Paul. Like its more famous counterpart, the center was built in the early 1960s to house arts programs in a complex of connected buildings. And like Lincoln Center, by the mid-2000s, it was functionally and stylistically outdated. Enter HGA Architects and Engineers in 2009. Hired to resuscitate the Music Building and Arts Commons in Phase One of a three-phase project, the HGA team has propelled Janet Wallace into the 21st century. With only one phase complete, the arts center has already become a campus magnet where light-filled spaces draw students from the arts and beyond.
