Berry Library and Learning Commons, Salem, MA | 2012

The Library defines a new academic quad for Salem State’s North Campus and meets an urgent need for a replacement library to serve the University’s five campuses. A vibrant and welcoming academic crossroads, the Library has clear wayfinding and spaces for scholarship and collaboration, and is designed to accommodate changes in technology and pedagogy. The learning commons, rich with academic resources, is integrated with library services to provide a comprehensive and supportive learning environment. The library is sited to define the new quad, strengthening the identity of the North Campus as the University’s academic heart, establishing a sense of place, and strengthening institutional identity. While the first level of the four-story Library offers an entrance facing College Drive, the second-floor main entrance faces the quad. Designed with a range of environmental features, the project is targeting LEED Silver certification.

Harvard Business School

Harvard Innovation Lab, Boston, MA | 2011

The Harvard Innovation Lab provides a new model for collaboration and entrepreneurship that crosses all disciplines, and is a magnet with a campus-wide draw. Its design catalyzes a robust culture of exploration and serves a program, rich with team-based activities. Classrooms are complemented by a range of spaces that accommodate business incubators and entrepreneurs in residence while welcoming the surrounding community with social spaces and business support. The reconfigurable ‘garage-chic’ environment conveys a sense of the possible, adapting to evolving technologies and uses that range from community meetings to collaborative project work. Shepley completed the transformation of a former WGBH television studio into the Innovation Lab on a highly expedited schedule, with just ten months from a dynamic workshop-based design process to the end of construction. The I-Lab opened at the start of the 2011-2012 academic year.

Stata Center, Cambridge, MA | 2004

The Ray and Maria Stata Center for Computer, Information and Intelligence Sciences is built on the site of MIT’s legendary Building 20, a “temporary” timber-framed building constructed during World War II that served as a breeding ground for many of the great ideas that were born at MIT. Designed by renowned architect Frank O. Gehry, the Stata Center is meant to carry on Building 20’s innovative and serendipitous spirit, and to foster interaction and collaboration across many disciplines.

The building is home to the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) and the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy. Its striking design—featuring tilting towers, many-angled walls and whimsical shapes—challenges much of the conventional wisdom of laboratory and campus building.

When the building opened in 2004, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Robert Campbell wrote in the Boston Globe that the building is “a work of architecture that embodies serious thinking about how people live and work, and at the same time shouts the joy of invention.”

Design Features • Flexible research facilities • Classrooms • Large auditorium • Social areas along the interior “student street” • Fitness facilities • Childcare center

Media Lab, Cambridge, MA | 2010

The Media Lab has expanded into a new, six-floor structure with approximately 163,000 square feet of laboratory, office, and meeting space designed by the Tokyo-based architectural firm of Maki and Associates. Together with the existing Wiesner Building (designed by MIT alumnus I. M. Pei), the complex will serve as a showplace for new concepts in design, communications systems, and collaborative research. The goal is to ignite a new energy and connectivity within the two-building complex, and then extend this energy beyond our walls—to our sponsors and to the world at large.

The complex also houses the List Visual Arts Center, the School of Architecture + Planning’s Program in Art, Culture and Technology, and MIT’s Program in Comparative Media Studies. A key component of the building is the Okawa Center for Future Children, focused on children, learning, and developing nations, established through a $27-million donation from Isao Okawa, the late chairman of CSK Corp. and SEGA Enterprises, Ltd.
