New England College: Lyons Center
Henniker, NH
New England College, set upon the Contoocook River in beautiful Henniker, NH commissioned DSK | Dewing Schmid Kearns, to design the new John Lyons Center academic building. Named for Senior Professor John Lyons, this new facility frames the historic town green. The design of The Lyons Center at New England College is a direct response to the building’s context; the familiar white classical forms, the strong presence on the Town Hall Green and the covered porches all contribute to comfortably situating the structure in its New England surroundings. As a key component of DSK’s south campus district plan, the Center anchors South Campus, providing high performance teaching and learning environments, a Learning Commons, conference spaces, a café and opportunities for an active south facing landscape.
