Grimshaw-Gudewicz Art Gallery, Bristol Community College
Fall River, Massachusetts

The brick mass of this Art Gallery complements the existing campus buildings, while its glass corner window and angular entrance canopy act as welcoming beacons. The main gallery space is lit by north-facing light monitors, its display walls interrupted only by the corner window, with views to the campus green.

In this project we designed two flexible exhibition spaces for a variety of contemporary installations. The primary gallery accommodates large two- and three-dimensional works, while a reception gallery at the entrance houses smaller pieces. An outdoor sculpture garden wraps around the building and marks a second entrance to the museum.
