Five visions for the historic College Avenue Campus
On September 26, President Richard L. McCormick released sweeping design concepts crafted by five world-renowned architecture teams, part of a long-term initiative to redesign the university’s historic College Avenue Campus.
The renderings and models – featured in an exhibit at Rutgers’ Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum – kick off a universitywide discussion about the best way to incorporate the teams’ ideas to create an outstanding academic environment that will rival many of the nation’s finest universities, McCormick said.
"When we launched the College Avenue campus initiative, we challenged the world's most accomplished architects and designers to dazzle us. They have done that and more by pushing us – through their ideas – to imagine this campus in ways we could have never conceived on our own," McCormick said. “They are challenging us to think even more boldly about what our campus can be and how we can best serve future generations of Rutgers students. These design concepts will serve as the catalyst for a thorough and enthusiastic discussion about the future of the College Avenue Campus."
