Yale University - Kline Tower
Located in the center of Yale’s Science Hill campus, the original Philip Johnson-designed Kline Tower, built in 1966, needed updating. The university engaged us to convert the former research laboratories into new classrooms, meeting rooms, academic offices, and collaboration spaces while also enhancing connectivity with the surrounding buildings. A 14-story tower and an underground connector concourse level with library and support spaces make up the new complex.
We provided a fully integrated team—including architecture, interior design, engineering, landscape architecture, lighting, acoustics, information technology, audio/video, security, and LEED services. Working within the existing constraints of the building, we carefully reimagined each floor with integrated staircases connecting each department and encouraging connectivity. A re-envisioned fourteenth floor, which once housed mechanical systems, is now one of the university’s most coveted event spaces—transforming from a faculty lounge and seminar space to multi-purpose rooms for large seminars or hospitality banquettes. With panoramic views of Yale, greater New Haven, and the Long Island Sound, it’s the place to be!
Now newly renovated, the Kline Tower serves as the new hub for the departments of mathematics, statistics and data science, astronomy, and physics.
