Duke University, The Karsh Alumni & Visitors Centre NC

The teams at Luke Hughes and Centerbrook Architects first worked together on the Keystone Academy library project in Beijing. They met up again work on the new-build of the Karsh Alumni & Visitors Center at Duke University in North Carolina, in which they intended creating a number of versatile and flexible rooms to accommodate multiple uses for the client.

Luke Hughes team were able to prove that the multi-faceted interior layouts required were not only possible, but also achievable within the client’s budget.

Space planning of the storage for ‘Athena’ folding timber tables and stacking ‘Folio’ chairs was a key consideration, as was the new sliding sofa for the Moyle Boardroom and the Pitts Family Atrium.

After nearly ten months in the making, the project came together on budget and on time for the inauguration ceremony in the late summer of 2019.
