Herzog & de Meuron and BBB chosen for GSD’s Gund Hall expansion
Harvard University Graduate School of Design (Harvard GSD) selected Basel-based architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron as design consultant and New York firm Beyer Blinder Belle (BBB) as the architect of record for the transformation project of its Gund Hall.
Under this project, the new space will be integrated into the current school structure. This space is intended to boost cross-disciplinary collaboration by creating intersection points among the school’s present studio workspace, faculty and departmental offices, seminar rooms and classrooms, research library, and the new interior spaces intended for social gatherings, and public programmes
The latest addition is expected to add a minimal amount to Gund Hall’s physical footprint, thereby eliminating the need for securing additional land. This would preserve Harvard GSD’s green space and basketball court.
