Gasson Hall
CHESTNUT HILL, MA
CLIENT: Boston College
COMPLETION: 2011
The view to this fine Maginnis and Walsh English Collegiate Gothic building and the eagle perched on a column in front of it communicate the quality of the school to the first time visitor. Trees frame the entry and façade, windows and tower. The College has restored the building for the Centennial Celebration. Brown, Richardson + Rowe designed two unobtrusive accessible ways to the ground floor that preserve the marvelous stairs, the eagle and the facade. The new walls, railings and planting are appropriate to the style of Gasson Hall.
