Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota envisions a new Institute for Global Citizenship to synergize its commitment to internationalism, multiculturalism, and service to society. The building will house administrative and faculty offices as well as community meeting space. It will feature an interior courtyard knitting the building together and providing an inspiring place for students, faculty, and community to contemplate and discuss their place in the new global society.

The stone exterior of the building echoes the universal and global traditions of load-bearing buildings, peeling away at the corner to create a welcoming entrance for everyone passing through the campus. Designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the Institute for Global Citizenship will utilize energy-efficient design principals and state-of-the-art green technologies.
