Rille Makes This College Campus a Little Groovier
Located on one of the University of Pennsylvania’s busiest corners, Stouffer Hall is a multi-functional building that brings residents together and promotes community and collaboration. The project, by Atkin Olshin Schade Architects, includes several common spaces and study areas, the designs of which aimed to receive a LEED ID+C Gold certification with a special emphasis on a healthy indoor environment.
To achieve this and other sustainability goals, the team filled the spaces with natural materials, including timber, concrete, and 100% Wool Design Felt. Throughout the building’s communal areas, a series of Rille panels were installed in a range of blues and greens that play off the views of the surrounding outdoor spaces and help to lower the volume with playful pops of color and patterning.
