On November 20, the National Academy hosted the opening reception of At the CORE: New Members of the National Academy of Design featuring work by MG Partner Paul Broches, FAIA, and thirty other recently elected National Academicians. The exhibit includes the MG-design renovation of the Humanities Building at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus. Originally built as a shoe manufacturing factory, the building was transformed into the Fine and Performing Arts Academic Center for the campus. The lynchpin of the 11-story, 120,000 SF building is a free-form glass enclosed gallery that all visitors pass as they enter the building.
