2006 Invited Design Competition – Winner
Est. construction cost: $22 million
Estimated completion: TBD

Bruner/Cott won the invited competition to design the new Arts Campus at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. The design envisions the site along Massachusetts Avenue as a crossroads for the nearby academic, artistic, and neighborhood communities. The new structure will provide an ideal space for the teaching and making of art, with the Arts Quad covered atrium serving as the year-round heart of the College of Art and Design.

The plan proposes relocating the original church (moved once before from Harvard Square) to the south side of the site in order to facilitate construction and help integrate the entire building more seamlessly into the nearby residential neighborhood.
