Erdman Hall

USA / Pennsylvania / Lower Merion /
 dormitory  Add category
In 1960, architect Louis I. Kahn and Bryn Mawr College president, Katharine McBride, came together to create the Erdman Hall dormitory.[9]

For over a year, Kahn and his assistants struggled to translate the college’s design program of 130 student rooms and public spaces into a scheme (well documented by the letters written between McBride and Kahn). The building comprises three geometrical square structures, connected at their corners. The outer walls are formed by interlocking student rooms around three inner public spaces: the entry hall, dining hall and living hall. These spaces receive light from towering light monitors.
