Conceived as a glowing lantern, the Anthony Timberlands Center is designed to draw students into a space where light signals learning and making. Instead of a stark institutional reading, illumination is composed to seep through the timber structure, producing a soft, continuous glow that positions the building as a beacon on the corner of Fayetteville.
Within the heavy timber framework, lighting is integrated into the structural rhythm—inhabiting beams, columns, and junctions so that it feels inseparable from the architecture. Light gathers in the grain of the structure, washing across intersections and openings to reveal the building’s tectonic logic while allowing it to read, at night, as a calm, luminous volume.
