Walking Tour

Brutalist UMass: Campus Architecture as Sanctuary

at UMass Amherst

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Tour Guides: Timothy M. Rohan, Ph. D., Chair and Associate Professor, History of Art and Architecture Department, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham, FAIA, Senior Campus Planner and Architect.

Tour: Join us for a special tour that invites the UMass community and the public to experience our campus through the eyes of the students. See it not just as a place of learning or a collection of buildings, but as a living sanctuary.

Explore the campus as a “third place” — where students find support, belonging, and community — through the highlighting of three iconic Brutalist buildings: The Lincoln Campus Center (Marcel Breuer, 1970) – the social heart of campus, The W.E.B. DuBois Library (Edward Durell Stone, 1972) – an academic sanctuary, and The Randolph W. Bromery Center for the Arts (Kevin Roche, 1973) and its newly renovated – a cultural haven, now featuring the beautifully renovated Arts Bridge. Discover how these architectural landmarks and surrounding spaces shape the core of UMass Amherst. This will be a unique opportunity to experience the campus not just as it is, but as it feels.
