Moore Ruble Yudell is honored to be presenting at the SCUP Annual conference on revitalizing late-modernist campus buildings.
In the aftermath of riots, killings, and the flu pandemic of 1968, American architecture conveyed its optimism for the future through Brutalism. In the wake of similarly troubled times, campuses are once again ready to embrace optimism through renewal. Brutalism has left universities with a legacy of historic concrete buildings, but fifty years later they’re often unpopular and in poor repair. This session will explore how three university campuses looked beyond the troubled exterior and chose whether to replace, repair, or restore their campus’s Brutalist buildings and put their campus assets back to work.
