BABSON COLLEGE EDUCATION CENTER AND LIBRARY

George Claflen was a member of Arrowstreet's design team for the Babson College Library and Education Center. The Babson Campus was highly spread out, lacking in focus and intensity, due to a history of grand plans that were never completed.

The Education Center provides a new heart for the campus, linking both new and old dormitories and commuter paths to a vital center core. The Education Center includes a large library building set into the hill and a classroom and faculty office building. The master plan included a major lecture hall, computer center, and recreation facilities. The classroom building features the innovative audio visual classrooms described elsewhere.

The brick detailing relates to the existing Georgian revival buildings on the campus.
