The new Jefferson Hall Library design celebrates the charge to provide a building of such quality and character that it will be perceived as a progression of past success that also leads to future opportunities. Holzman Moss Architecture's design employs two stone structures reminiscent of other campus buildings that flank a glass core, effectively recalling campus traditions while providing bold new directions. The design like its cadets exemplifies the importance of responsibility, a sense of honor and duty, and making these traits the foundation for excellence. A courageous design builds from tradition with intelligence, illustrating the enlightened opportunities borne from an educated, creative mind.
