School is back in session. And while the students at Emory University may be enjoying the smell of new notebooks and sharpened #2 pencils, the university at large is enjoying the benefits of its redesigned student center. The project by Durham-based Duda|Paine Architects covers 130,000 square feet, and is a place for students to relax, study, and gather between classes. “We had a clear vision for a contemporary solution that would suit Emory’s historic and architecturally specific campus,” Turan Duda, founding principal at Duda|Paine, tells AD PRO. The building features a grand staircase, a light-filled gathering area, and a variety of meeting spaces.
