Currently under construction, the Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion will open in the summer of 2013, marking the capstone event of Colby College’s bicentennial celebration. When complete, the new 26,000-square-foot addition will accommodate the Colby Museum’s growing collection as well as its administrative offices, education and outreach programs, and art studios for foundation and photography courses. The Pavilion will also function as the Museum’s primary entrance.

Presentations of new building projects typically feature finished designs in the form of plans and models. This exhibition, prepared by Frederick Fisher and Partners Architects, takes a different approach, exploring the contextual, collaborative, and place-envisioning process by which the Los Angeles-based firm arrived at the Pavilion’s design. – www.colby.edu
