The revised scope change of the project, as delineated by Purchase College and the State University Construction Fund, has directed FXFowle to begin a broader review of the Theater Arts and Film, New Media and Film, and the performance and instructional needs of the Neuberger Museum and the Performing Arts Center.

This additional work will yield results in approximately four months. An orientation and kick-off meeting with executive staff will take place in the next weeks.

Project Specifications

While keeping in mind PC’s mantra to “Think Wide Open,” FXFowle Architects (an architectural, interior design, planning, and urban design firm committed to design excellence, social responsibility, and sustainability; with offices in New York, Washington DC, and Dubai), has held preliminary interview meetings with all related Departments (Acting, Design Technologies, Drama Studies, Dramatic Writing, Arts Management, Film, New Media, Cinema Studies, Media Society and the Arts, the Neuberger Museum, The Performing Arts Center) and the SUCF and the Provost to start a considerate program study of the Library’s lower level, the Plaza level, and Receiving and facility Storage areas to design a teaching, learning and technology center integrating the arts.   

Also under consideration are potential plans for an exhibit space for the Neuberger, as well as a performance space for the Performing Arts. 

The Perkins Eastman Space Study-04-18-2008 is being reviewed by FXFowle to begin allotting particularized space within the ITLT Center.
