American University of Beirut
in New York
New York, New York

This 8,500 sf administrative and development headquarters is located in New York City, near the United Nations on Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. The office, regularly occupied by twenty staff members, transforms to accommodate up to sixty deans and trustees from the University who meet quarterly for several days. Using symbolic elements and rich materials that recall the Beirut campus, the project is designed to evoke the spirit, character and prestige of this important Middle Eastern institution. http://www.aub.edu.lb/
