The Barker Center for the Humanities
Harvard University
Cambridge, MassachusettsThis 1901 McKim, Mead & White Georgian-style Union Building served as a freshman dining room for nearly seven decades until Harvard decided to relocate the dining elsewhere and re-use the complex for academic purposes. Now the building serves as an interdisciplinary humanities center, bringing together twelve academic departments in a group of renovated historic buildings.
Relevant Project Information:
- Harvard wanted the center to promote opportunities for closer intellectual collaboration, while respecting the individual identities of the different departments.
- The 80,000 SF building now features a shared dining area and a multi-level cluster of common spaces surrounding a skylit 'great stair hall' at the heart of the building.
- Each department has a well-defined headquarters core that includes reception and lounge space, administrative facilities, a seminar room or a library, and faculty offices that radiate from the core.
- McKim's exterior was meticulously restored including areas where previous additions had compromised the building's integrity.
- On the interior, oak carvings and paneling were stripped, restored, and matched in the frames and mullions of the new interior windows. Original limestone pavers, door surrounds, and mantelpieces were also cleaned and renewed.
