A short presentation of unbuilt Academic Center design

Watch a presentation of the North Campus Academic Center design by architect Kyu Sung Woo:


This is episode 2633 of “Heart to Heart” on Arirang, uploaded last May. It was filmed when the Center for Health Care Delivery Science was still slated to occupy the building. That center is now expecting to move into the Williamson Building at the hospital, and the construction of the Academic Center is on hold at best.

Several of the views are new. The aerial view above looks from north to south and finally explains the plaza area, where Gilman currently connects to Remsen and to the skybridge to Kellogg. According to the video, the building’s classrooms and social spaces were to be located under the plaza (see the second image at the firm’s website).

Woo mentions “a social science wing” of the building for the departments of anthropology and sociology. That was probably the south end, visible at left in this north-south view of a model’s College Street facade.
