Posted @withrepost • @dezeen US architecture studio GBBN (@gbbnarchitects) preserved and expanded a 19th-century home in Erie, Pennsylvania, into an educational facility with a glass bridge connection and metal-clad, barn-like structure.
Completed in April 2022 for Pennsylvania State University Behrend, the Federal House Renovation & Addition project saw the conversion of the oldest brick building in the Harborcreek Township into a modern educational facility.
"What was once an unused, stand-alone structure on campus has become a place – a unique destination sought out by Penn State Behrend students and administrators," GBBN principal Matthew Plecity told Dezeen.
