Breathtaking Renovations

Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago

The Regenstein Library’s renovation adds a crucial component of modern academic spaces to the Brutalist complex: collaborative learning areas. Once filled with cubicles, the library’s central zone is now a flexible, open space that can be divided by movable panels fitted with whiteboards, lighting, and power connections.
