“When a college president passed a newly decommissioned power plant, he got an idea: Wouldn’t that space make for a great, much needed new campus fieldhouse? The new facility now has a running track, conference facility, batting cages, café, and more.”

“Much more than an aesthetic flourish, the glass gradient represents both an achievement in building material advancement and a step forward in energy-efficiency, two areas of architecture that Vista Tower’s design principal, Juliane Wolf (ARCH ’01), has been pursuing her entire career.”
“Das Thema Energie ist dem Bauwerk erhalten geblieben, aber wo früher Kohle verbrannt wurde, können heute Student*innen Dampf ablassen: Das private Beloit College für Freie Künste in der gleichnamigen Stadt hat dafür zusammen mit Studio Gang (Chicago) das ehemalige Blackhawk-Kraftwerk in ein Lern- und Sportzentrum umgebaut.”
What if skyscrapers can be porous connectors, rather than barriers, for the public realm? Studio Gang’s case study explores how Vista Tower works to create new connections in the city.
After more than two decades designing projects that positively help shape cities around the world, Studio Gang announces the elevation of Juliane Wolf and Weston Walker to Partner. The pair have both collaborated closely with Founding Principal Jeanne Gang for well over a decade to design the firm’s most celebrated projects.
As part of the Open More Doors video series, ArchDaily visited Studio Gang’s Chicago office to discuss its history, workplace culture, and recent projects.
“Beloit needed a modern campus center and a new field house, and its residence halls and science complex are just up the hill from the power plant. Alliant officials liked the idea, and the college hired Jeanne Gang’s architecture firm, Studio Gang, to plan the conversion.”
