Western Massachusetts AIA (WMAIA) hosted a tour of our Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) Student Learning Commons as part of their 2022 Women in Architecture Program. The 100,000 SF LEED Silver project renovated a former 19th-century storehouse into a café, bookstore, and meeting areas for students, with the campus sited on a National Historic Landmark and within the National Park System. The tour was led by Jackie Flanigan AIA of ABA/Annum and Debra Avery, Senior Director of Facilities at STCC.
