Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
As part of the college’s strategic planning process, Perkins + Will created a campus framework that addresses space needs, aligns with Bard's constrained financial realities, and advances our commitment to sustainability. The "Ridge and Valley" framework treats the historic Ridge Campus as a formal space organized by quads and approaches the newer Valley Campus as an informal space that incorporates the essential character of the landscape. Within this framework, we have developed a series of discrete proposals that creatively and strategically respond to facilities, open space, and circulation needs. The proposals range from an expansion of the campus dining hall to public realm improvements along the primary campus circulation to a conversion of a storage barn into a black box theater."
