Ward Hall
Bryn Mawr College
Bryn Mawr, PA

Winner, Honor Award, Philadelphia AIA Design Awards, 2003, Honor Award, Pennsylvania Society of Architects, Design Awards, 2004

“I can’t say enough about this building...This is direct, honest architecture, straightforward and beautifully done, Admirable. We applaud the sense of responsibility the architect brought to this project.”

Frank Harmon, FAIA Jury Chair

Ward Hall houses the offices of Facilities and Planning staff for Bryn Mawr college. The lovely office building is suffused with natural light through a central glazed and sky-lit staircase. The building was designed to sustainable standards with daylighting throughout, a deep plan, and extensive insulation in the perimeter. The design also included custom millwork for all the work stations.

The Ward Hall Project created the opportunity for a new Master Plan for the steeply sloping north edge of the Bryn Mawr College campus. In our design, the site steps down in a series of landscaped terraces with an access drive at the center.
