The Axinn Center at Starr Library

Renovations on the original 1927 Neoclassical Starr Library, at the heart of the Middlebury College campus, included the preservation of historic details and the addition of two new wings.

Windows in the historic section were either restored to original condition, Bi-Glassed with insulated glass, or manufactured to match all existing details and components. An example of our work is the installation of mirrors in three interior, 24-lite windows. The windows reflect interior light to create an Old World atmosphere and the perception of added depth.

The project received a 2009 Sustainable Design Award from the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) and a 2009 Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) Excellence in Architecture Award.
