PROJECT DETAILS

Ibsen Nelsen: Arntzen Hall, Western Washington University, 1974

  • Bellingham, Washington, USA, Show on map
  • #EDU #North America
  • Designed by Ibsen Nelsen and Associates at the same time as the neighboring Environmental Sciences Building. Lots of skylights, especially in the back of the building. Some provide natural light to the basement classrooms. The back of the building slopes down and is very curvy while the front is much more vertical and rectilinear. 

  • In use and in good condition. The sloped auditorium roof was previously covered in plants but was covered in aluminum because the roof wasn’t waterproofed.Â
