Harris School of Public Policy Keller Center

The transformed four-story Keller Center balances resilience with a deep respect for its past. Originally designed by Edward Durell Stone in 1962, this Mid-Century structure reveals a renewed identity through a luminous, skylight atrium carved into its core. Within its 120,000-square-foot volume, light moves across whitewashed concrete, fritted glass, and honed floors, shaping a space that feels both grounded and open, structured yet fluid in its daily life.
