|
| Authors: | Jamie Horwitz |
| Abstract: | Jamie Horwitz describes how Polshek Partnership's design for a new student centre at Williams College, a small liberal arts college in Williamstown, Massachusetts, has successfully integrated ‘environmentally sensitive practices into the choreography of life’. Catering not only to students' 24-hour needs, its dining facilities tap into a network of local food producers within its far-reaching sustainable programme.
