Studying their fenestration provides us a focused way to examine these large-scale structures, such as the Murray D. Lincoln Campus Center by Marcel Breuer. The tour will be led by UMassBRUT founding member Timothy M. Rohan, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of the History of Art & Architecture and student docents.
The Windows on UMass symposium led by UMassBRUT founding board members Timothy M. Rohan, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of the History of Art & Architecture, UMass Amherst and Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham, Senior Campus Planner and Architect, UMass Amherst.
