The Richardson Olmsted Complex: a Student Publication on Works in Progress
The Richardson Olmsted Campus looms large in the minds of Western New York residents and tourists alike, yet there is currently no major publication that traces the path of its evolution from a state of decay to one of adaptive reuse. Working with our client Paris Roselli, President of the Richardson Olmsted Campus and Lipsey Architecture Center, students have created a publication that traces the historic path of the campus into its contemporary rebirth. Using a combination of archival sources from the campus itself, some of which have never been systematically examined before, students have created a volume that makes rare materials and images of the Richardson Olmsted Campus publicly available for the first time. As the final product, the class has developed a publication to be used and distributed by our client at the Richardson Olmsted Complex to a new generation of local and international tourists visiting Western New York.
