Hartford Seminary, exterior

Richard Meier & Partners Architects LLP (American architectural firm, contemporary) [work]

Wilson, Richard Guy [photographer]

1982

East façade from forecourt

The building covers a total area of 27,000 square feet, including a large meeting room, a chapel, a library, a bookstore (all open to the public), classrooms and areas for faculty, as well as workrooms and offices. The corner site is flat, and the context is that of a residential suburban campus. Loosely knit blocks of Gothic Revival stone buildings that formerly housed the seminary face the site from across the street, and a mixture of neo-Tudor and neo-Colonial houses fills out the surrounding neighborhood. -- http://www.richardmeier.com/?projects=hartford-seminary-2 [work]
