Work with Charles Gwathmey After completing his Masters in Architecture at Columbia University Mr. Egan joined the internationally recognized firm of Gwathmey/Siegel & Associates in New York City. There he had the opportunity to work with and learn from the architect Charles Gwathmey, from whom he learned much about the shaping of space and the use of materials. Mr. Charles Gwathmey is one of the architects known as "The New York Five," who were made famous in a 1967 exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. Below are some of the projects Mr. Egan did with that firm. Computer Facility for
Mr. Egan had primary responsibility for this project from the first client meeting through construction and move-in. The scope of work included complete services: site design, programming, space planning, building design, interior design, construction administration, etc. It was a 50,000 sq. ft. computer and customer service center, developed on a "fast-track" basis in twelve months from first meeting to client move-in.
Athletic Facilities at Dartmouth University (1983-1984)
Dartmouth University is one of the Ivy League colleges, located on a historic New England campus. In the 1980s the university decided to add a new athletic facility to replace the 1880 field-house, and at the same time to find ways to re-use the older building. Our project was to design the new building, and to recommend uses for the older building. Activities that needed new space or new technologies were located in the new building, while those activities that could take advantage of the older building were re-designed so as to be less cramped in the older building. Mr. Egan was a member of the design team for the entire project, and was in charge of space planning for the re-use of the older building. Additions
to Westover Academy,
Middlebury, Connecticut
Westover Academy is an elite school for girls, comprised of a cluster of older buildings that center on a main courtyard. This project was to add a new wing for science classroom, library and support services. The design combines all the new additions into one long slender wing that helps define the edge of the soccer field. The new building includes bleachers offering a better view of the games. Mr. Egan was involved during the construction administration phase of this project. |
