Bridgewater
State College Bridgewater,
Massachusetts Deteriorated
multi-level brick terraces used to occupy the space between BSC’s Auditorium
and Maxwell Library, creating obstacles for the disabled and able-bodied
students alike. DDA’s design to reconstruct this space transforms it into
a simple functional collegiate quadrangle. A lowered green replaces the
super-elevated expanses of paving. A tree lined promenade links this space
with the Rondilieu Campus Center, also designed by DDA, and other campus
destinations. New accessible walkways converge on a new main Library entry,
which is ringed by a curved granite seat wall. Other walls provide both
seating and spatial definition at the northern and southern ends of the
Quadrangle. Completing the simple palette are BSC standard light posts
and benches, which line lateral walks alongside the buildings. Bridgewater
