Babson College, The Commons at Horn Library

Finegold Alexander was invited to design a new 10,000-square-foot addition called ‘The Commons at Horn Library’. The addition marks a dramatic new entry for the library and is a new home for the Cutler Center - Babson’s trading room. In addition, the ground floor has a cafe with open seating areas at 2 levels. The second floor features two quiet group study spaces, a full classroom, and a balcony with seating that overlooks the seating areas below. The contemporary interiors reflect the Babson brand with warm, sophisticated furnishings, finishes, and lighting. A generous use of glass provides natural light throughout.
