Northeastern University, located in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, is a world leader in practice-oriented education and recognized for its expert faculty and first-rate academic and research facilities. The university has been undergoing a physical transformation with a series of new buildings and renovations. Completed in mid 2004 is the Francis A and Joan A. Gicca Atrium with a long, narrow, double-story circulation and study space flanked on one side with an exterior glass wall and on the other with RPG’s grooved, acoustic, wood system Topakustik. The adjacent exterior courtyard is visually accented by the warmth and glow of the Maple Topakustik showing through the glass. The entire space is made even more impressive by the wonderful detailing at reveals, doors, air diffusers and signage.
