Reimagining the Flynn: A Charrette Presentation by Norwich University Students

Saturday, February 2, 2013 

Throughout our history, the Flynn has continually updated and adapted to meet its ever changing needs. Having just completed a massive renovation last summer, we turned to students from the School of Architecture + Art at Norwich University to reimagine specific areas for future redesign or adaptation. Teams comprising 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students were created and assigned a project area to explore. The four projects are entitled:

1. The Public Edge: First Impressions and the Magic Within
2. The Gallery: Revealing the Art in the Art
3. The Lower Lounge: Arrival, Departure, Passage, Pause
4. The Dance Studio: Space and Motion

Norwich faculty members Eleanor DAponte and Bryan Burke visited our facilities, and then Flynn Executive Director John Killacky and Facility Director Jack Galt traveled to Norwich to ask the architecture students to visualize new ideas for the Flynn campus. This presentation is the result of charrettes (wild ideas) that the students had five days to work on. The resulting images will be available for public viewing on Saturday, February 2 from 11 am to 4 pm.
