Office of Admissions Renovation

College of William and Mary,
Williamsburg, Virginia

GLAVÉ & HOLMES ARCHITECTURE (G&HA) renovated and altered the former Old Bookstore at the College of William & Mary to serve as the new location for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. This office serves as the “front door” to the university, introducing prospective students and their parents to the College. The design includes a 300-seat sessions room to facilitate the orientation process, conference rooms, offices, and administrative support spaces. The design respects the architectural and cultural context of the College, while also effectively communicating that the College is progressively prepared to meet the challenges and expectations of education in the twenty-first century.
