Endicott College Academic Center
Beverly, Massachusetts
Endicott College is set against a picturesque coastal backdrop, but the campus lacked a central green space for student and event gatherings. The Samuel C. Wax Academic Center seized on an opportunity to reposition the college’s academic core. The three-phased building proposal for a new quadrangle created the desired green space while complementing the campus’s two central lakes and main entrance.
The architectural language for the new academic center respects the masonry and limestone context of the adjacent buildings with stately proportions. The new buildings project strength yet maintain a nestled presence within the landscape against the context of the surrounding campus. The interior palette invokes ocean tones, wood accents, and pops of bright color.
