Guest House, St. Meinrad Archabbey
Hafer Associates designed this multi-functional building to provide 72 new student dormitories, a two-story student commons, an art gallery and exhibition space capable of hosting receptions and other community functions, a conference center, faculty and administrative offices, student activities offices, study lounges, a small chapel and a bookstore. The exterior massing, form and materials all reflect the architecture of the Archabbey. The sandstone masonry walls come from the same quarry that has provided stone on all of the buildings for the last 100 years.
