In creating this building, the University of Cincinnati?s new athletics hub, famed architect Bernard Tschumi kept it dramatically open and light, with a cathedral-like, full-height, column-free atrium being a stunning core design feature.
Making it even more special, Tschumi worked with designer Eva Maddox to create an installation called "Heritage Hall" showcasing university achievements ? there, sepia-toned graphic murals are emblazoned onto LuxalonŽ metal ceilings, by Hunter Douglas Contract, whose flatness and flush joints keep the photographs looking continuous and clean.
The perforated planks enhance acoustics, as well ? something that?s particularly well appreciated when the place is full of enthusiastic students/sports buffs.
Despite its function as a pass-through (the atrium connects the north and south ends of campus), the center?s not just somewhere you go just to get somewhere else ? its thoughtful design makes it a destination in its own right.
