Creation of the Mandel Humanities Center constitutes Phase 1 of the North Academic Quad Master Plan developed with the assistance of the architectural and planning firm of Kallmann, McKinnell and Wood, building on the 2001 Chan Krieger Campus Master Plan.
The Phase 1 Mandel Humanities Center is proposed to be located at the physical apex of the Humanities Quadrangle, at its southeast end.
With Kallmann, McKinnell and Wood, the University is nearing completion of the programming process to decide on the array of spaces that will constitute the Center. The Project Advisory Group includes academic leadership, faculty members, students, and staff. Community contributions to the discussion about spaces for the Center is welcome. Please visit the project bulletin board.
The Mandel Humanities Center is expected to connect to both Rabb and Shiffman, and will initiate the process of physically joining all of the buildings. Together with these connections, an elevator tower and an enclosed bridge are being considered, to link the Mandel Humanities Center and the Quad with the rest of the University below.
