Because the new Dudley and Lambertus Halls will serve as the new gateway to the campus, BSA kept the brick façade that is Purdue’s predominant architectural style – but modernized it with large glass walls that allowed an abundance of natural light and vision into the building.
To allow natural light to penetrate further into the building and create transparency between spaces, glass was used throughout the interior as well – including the stairway enclosures that had to meet 2 hour fire rated code requirements.
