Barco Law Library
Pittsburgh, PA
Client: University of Pittsburgh
The renovation of the 40,000 s.f. library commemorates a major benefactor of the Law School, the Barco family. Strada worked intimately with all the stakeholders; the Law School Dean, the major donor, and the facilities department to transform a dreary and dated space into a comfortable and welcoming meeting and research center for the law school community. The contemporary design establishes a refined quality that is attractive to current and prospective students.
