PERFORMING ARTS BUILDINGS Schrott Center for the Arts BUTLER UNIVERSITY Indianapolis, Ind.
The LEED Gold certified Schrott Center for the Arts is a 450-seat venue for music and theater, with the primary purpose of providing teaching space for Butler University. The theater is located near Clowes Memorial Hall, and responds to the theater and music departments’ needs for a mid-sized performance facility. The project is designed to meet the particular requirements of choral, orchestral, and theatrical productions, and includes a lobby, green room, dressing rooms, and other support spaces. Due to its relationship with other buildings on campus, the exterior design employs a mix of buffcolored architectural precast concrete and ashlar-pattern Indiana limestone veneer. The precast panels are ideal to enclose the tall volume, and provide the mass necessary to isolate the audience chamber and the stage house from unwanted noise. The hall uses retractable acoustic banners and curtains to tune the room between the needs for a ‘wet’ music environment and a drier theatrical performance space. The hard proscenium opening is adjustable in width from 40-50 feet to meet a variety of performance needs.

The transparent, glazed curtain wall element and projected canopy identify the primary entry to the facility, and offers a regional gesture as a beacon to the 46th Street entrance to campus.
PERFORMING ARTS BUILDINGS Eidson Duckwall Recital Hall BUTLER UNIVERSITY
Indianapolis, Ind.
The Eidson Duckwall Recital Hall is the second phase of the Jordan College of Fine Arts’ Performing Arts Complex at Butler University. Through the use of sound reflective materials such as plaster and wood, this remodel and addition provides an acoustically correct recital venue for students, faculty and guests. The 140-seat house is an intimately scaled room, filling a niche not only for Butler, but for the community. The facades are scaled and proportioned to be a harmonic and sensitive addition to the original Georgian Revival structure. Extensive detailing in wood, brick, limestone and slate, all materials found on the original building, conveys an honest and successful venture in matching the 60-year old design and construction. Since the recital hall coexists with admissions, financial aid and other important campus departments, the design signifies entry to the recital hall, while allowing the balance of the building to retain its place on campus.

PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Stewart Plaza DEPAUW UNIVERSITY Greencastle, Ind.
Opening up a new north-south axis on center with DePauw University’s most historic building, East College, Stewart Plaza is planned to become the heart of campus. With Browning Day as prime site designer, the plaza will knit together a new Dining Center and renovated Union building designed by the Robert A. M. Stern office in New York. Carefully programmed and planned to embrace pedestrian activity and create a “place” on campus, the plaza will feature two fountains that book-end a plaza space on center with the Dining Center. Sensitive grade changes allow for barrier-free access to buildings’ main entries, bosques of trees in a suspended pavement planter system, and varied surface materials including turf, crushed granite, and granite paver and steps. Subtle theatrical lighting of seat-height walls, fountains, and plant material will welcome students, faculty, and staff at all hours. Many underground utilities were coordinated in order to accommodate sloping walkways and the planned placement of 6” caliper London Plane Trees.
PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Jacobs School of Music INDIANA UNIVERSITY Bloomington, Ind.
Browning Day’s landscape architects provided leadership on master plan and coordinated the utility relocation planning for the East Studio Building. Responsibilities included the site and landscape design for a 5.25-acre site with a 20-foot grade change. Great care was taken to embrace existing campus structures and merge the design with its surrounding. To that end, the campus walk connections align with features on the opposite side of Jordan Avenue, located on the west side of the site. The design created a corner plaza that serves both as a campus space and an arts district gateway at a major entrance to campus, while effectively dealing with accessibility issues from one corner of the site to the main level of the new building. A west patio space that relates to daily student ingress and egress was provided at the building proper, in addition to areas that can be used for new student orientation. On the south end, a terraced landscape area exposes the lower level studios to daylight and provides great “subterranean” views.
PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Site Planning and Landscape Design IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE Frankfort, Ind.
Browning Day was retained by the City of Frankfort to design parking lots and pedestrian plaza spaces to complement a renovated building that will be transformed into classrooms for Ivy Tech Community College.

The Campus Landscape Master Plan focus was to use the newest trends in sustainability and green infrastructure to create engaging, interactive and energy efficient spaces for Taylor University. Work continued on the Central Campus Zone that changed how students, faculty, staff, visitors and donors approached and entered all academic buildings of the core campus area. Browning Day was significantly involved in the master planning of Taylor University’s Upland campus until August 2007. A multi-year vision was established for the development of building additions, renovations and significant formgiving exterior landscaped space planning. The conceptual design provided capital needs of several campus spaces, including a Central Campus Zone with a heritage quad, a new entry commons, a woodlands commons and sensitive environmental areas. After 12 months into the process, the design and construction of a campus stream that accepts and filters stormwater on campus was implemented.
PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Campus Landscape Design TAYLOR UNIVERSITY Upland, Ind.
Following a campus landscape master plan by Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf in 2007, Taylor implemented significant places on campus that foster gathering and interaction, that beautify and that create new traditions for students, faculty, and staff. The Science Quad and main Campus Lawn was constructed in the summer of 2013. It’s main feature is that the space knits the library and new Euler Science Center together via a bosque of Honey locust trees organized in a terraced crushed stone plinth and lawn which offers many sitting options; on dimensional stone, boulders, and moveable tables and chairs. Flowering cherry trees line sidewalks that connect the buildings and the main north south pedestrian axis on campus connecting the residential zones to the campus academic core. Circulation and entry plazas were redesigned at the entrances of existing buildings. The geo-thermal outfall for the science center was designed into a water feature that illustrates the rate at which the system is running. The water feature overflows into a new naturalized stream corridor on campus that cleanses the water prior to entering the campus lake.
PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Anderson Streetscape DEPAUW UNIVERSITY Greencastle, Ind.
DePauw University commissioned Browning Day to redesign Anderson Street to remove on-street parking and convert it to two-way traffic flow. The street serves as a major entrance to the heart of campus, especially with the addition of a monumental gateway and signage component featuring masonry consisting of brick, limestone and lannon stone. The new street also features brick paver walks, limestone block retaining walls, traditionally-designed street lights with current technology, and street trees. Due to the historic architecture of the existing houses along the street, careful consideration was given to the design of the gateway and the streetscape features to integrate well with the context as if the new street has always existed in its new form. Triumph Elms provide a stately elegance while new lighting, brick walks and limestone set a tone to compliment the historic fabric of the homes and neighborhood. The project was delivered as a part of the Stellar Communities program of the State of Indiana.
PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Jordan Avenue Pedestrian Improvements INDIANA UNIVERSITY Bloomington, Ind.
Browning Day was commissioned to redesign the Jordan Avenue corridor on the campus of Indiana University to improve pedestrian safety and enhance aesthetics. The roadway was converted into a tree-lined and medianed boulevard, with identified bicycle lanes and bus pull-offs, creating a refuge for pedestrians and bicycle traffic. Another benefit of the new pathway is the improved pedestrian circulation from the residence hall on the east side of Jordan Avenue through and between the Musical Arts Center, Simon Music Library and Recital Hall to the west.
BEFORE
In addition to improving safety, the team designed a formal Arts Gateway to campus, initiated by the recently completed Jacob School of Music East Studio Building, the doorway to the university’s music, fine and performing arts district.
