This 16,118 gross square foot facility located in Athens, West Virginia, provided a transition between the University campus and the surrounding woodlands. As an alumni center and chapel, this building must be both a part of the campus and a retreat from it. The architecture resolves this dichotomy by including elements present in the campus, such as the same stone and brick used elsewhere, while providing spaces that are detached from the campus and open to the woods.

IKM recently completed the adaptive reuse of the Carnegie Alumni Center on Grove City College’s lower campus. Set on Broad Street and a vital part of the downtown Grove City area, the Carnegie Hall building keeps its overall personality of Early 20th Century architecture while upgrades include an improved welcoming and reception, more administrative office space and a space to showcase the history of the College.
