Aloha Tower is the most recognized building

in the state of Hawaii and second only to

Diamond Head as Hawaii’s most famous

landmark. Owned by the State of Hawai‘i

and listed on both the Hawai‘i and national

Registers of Historic Places, it is about to

undergo a transformation that will turn this

landmark into a 300-unit student dormitory

and a multi-use complex.

Located on a waterfront site on Honolulu

Harbor, the 160,000-square-foot, two-story

waterfront marketplace would put student

housing on the upper floor with retail, dining

and entertainment options on the first floor.

The second floor will be converted into

75000 SF of chic urban lofts, enough to house

more than 300 students as well as resident

advisors and perhaps visiting faculty and other

university guests.

ACADEMICBUILDINGS

School of Global and International StudiesINDIANA UNIVERSITYBloomington, Indiana

The Global and International Studies Building,

a mix of both office and classroom areas, will

be a facility that centralizes diverse programs

currently spread out over the Indiana University

Bloomington campus.

The design is approximately 174,000 sq.ft., and

will house nearly 300 dedicated faculty offices,

in addition to workstations integrated amongst

the offices. The auditorium, 13 classrooms, and

six seminar rooms provide registrar controlled

educational space along the bottom two floors.

Large and small conference rooms are dispersed

throughout the upper floors amongst the offices.

The exterior architecture looks both to the past

and to the future of the campus. The building is

sited to continue the notion of a ‘front yard’ along

Jordan Avenue. The exterior facades are rendered

in modern adaptations of recognizable details from

the historic buildings on campus. The multi-story

lobby is a transparent glass enclosure, designed

to permit views within and beyond its boundaries,

to and from Wells Library. The curved west wing

forms a radial edge along The Arboretum, further

integrating building and site.

ACADEMIC BUILDINGS

Emily W. Hundley LibraryST. CATHARINE COLLEGESt. Catharine, Kentucky

St. Catharine College near Springfield, Kentucky

needed a new sustainably-designed 21st

Century library that respects the architectural

language established on campus.

The Browning Day design team rose up to the

challenge with a building that is both traditional

and modern. The design maximizes daylight, and

offers state-of-the-art technology ensuring the

library is a destination place on campus where

students would want to study or simply hangout.

The library utilizes raised-floor plenum systems

throughout and a geothermal heat pump heating

and cooling system.

Herron School of Art & Design Eskenazi HallIUPUIIndianapolis, Indiana

The design of Sidney and Lois Eskenazi

transformation of a former IU School of Law

building, which resulted in 36,000 square feet

of renovated space and a 129,000-square-foot

addition.

The new facilities provide the Herron School

of Art with more than 70 art studios and

classrooms, a gallery, an auditorium, an

8,000-square-foot library, and faculty and

administrative offices, as well as exterior

landscaped courts for display of sculpture.

Clerestory windows provide north light on

the second floor and a new central corridor

links studios and other programmed spaces

to an outdoor overlook of a prominent city

park. The design and finishes complement the

architecture of the adjacent University Library

and Natatorium.

Center for Visual & Performing ArtsEARLHAM COLLEGERichmond, Indiana

The Earlham College Center for the Visual and

Performing Arts (CVPA) is the new home of the

arts at Earlham, bringing studio arts, theater and

music under one roof.

Pending LEED Gold Certification, this state-of-

the-art facility features a generous amount of

natural light, and welcoming social spaces created

through the use of large glass windows. Browning

Day’s design of the landscape architecture

includes a versatile central arts plaza that doubles

as an outdoor performance venue. The building

features occupancy and photocell sensors that

compliment a whole-building control package. Site

plantings and softscape were selected to be native,

durable and minimally-irrigated. The outdoor

“amphitheater” created between Runyan Center

and CVPA is a multi-purpose space for impromptu

and seasonal performances, shows, and rehearsals,

showcasing the talent of students and faculty.

Browning Day provided Landscape Architecture,

Sustainability, Building Facade Research &

Detailing and Construction Administration

services to Boora Architects.

Schrott Center for the ArtsBUTLER UNIVERSITYIndianapolis, Indiana

The Schrott Center is a 450-seat venue for

music and theater, with the primary purpose

of providing teaching space for Butler

University. The new 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 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 project is certified as LEED Silver.

Lilly Hall Courtyard Building AdditionBUTLER UNIVERSITYIndianapolis, Indiana

The Lilly Hall Addition and Renovation is the

first phase of a planned, four-phase Performing

Arts Complex at Butler University. The Lilly

Hall Courtyard Building Addition provides

performance and teaching spaces for the

Departments of Music, Theater and Dance.

Spaces include three new dance studios, an

instrument practice space, two choral studios,

a ‘black-box’ theater and electronic music

studio. Also provided are office areas for several

independent Indianapolis Arts Groups.

The modulating concrete and limestone panel

exterior expression emulates the neighboring

structures, existing Lilly Hall and Clowes

Memorial Hall, unifying the three distinct

buildings into a harmonious composition. 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.

SITE PLANNING & LANDSCAPE

Site Planning and Landscape DesignIVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLAGEFrankfort, Indiana

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 project’s

challenges include working around newly

relocated site utilities including gas, fiber,

telephone, electric and cable.

The design provided irrigated landscape

planting areas in the asphalt parking lots in

addition to lighting for safety and beauty. Both

lots are located above fill from past building

demolition. Storm water is managed through a

combination of pervious concrete, permeable

pavers, vegetated swales and drain pipes. These

best management practices help reduce the

environmental impact on the adjacent Prairie

Creek.

SITE PLANNING

SITE PLANNING

Campus Landscape Architecture Master PlanTAYLOR UNIVERSITYUpland, Indiana

The Browning Day team developed

comprehensive campus design standards

adopted by the university in June of 2008,

refined conceptual design and provided an

opinion of capital needs of several campus

spaces including a Central Campus Zone with a

heritage quad, new entry commons, woodlands

commons, and sensitive environmental areas.

One outcome of planning that has resulted in the

first built work after 12 months is the design and

construction of a campus stream that accepts

and filters stormwater on campus. Current

design work continues on the central campus

zone that will reestablish how students, faculty,

staff, visitors and donors approach and enter all

academic buildings of the core campus area. The

focus of the campus design is to use the latest

thoughts about green infrastructure to create

engaging, interactive and sustainable spaces for

Taylor University.

Anderson StreetscapeDEPAUW UNIVERSITYGreencastle, Indiana

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.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Jacobs School of Music INDIANA UNIVERSITY

Bloomington, Indiana

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.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Plaza DesignTAYLOR UNIVERSITYUpland, Indiana

Following a campus landscape master plan by

Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf in 2007, Taylor

has begun implementation of 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.
