ikon.5 was honored to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Pierce Reading Room renovation at Georgetown University’s Lauinger Library. The renovation transforms a traditional reading room into a contemporary learning environment that allows for maximum flexibility and provides users with collaborative workspaces, a digital scholarship lab with large format video wall, and improved access to Georgetown’s vast special collections. The addition of glazing, which replaces portions of the exterior concrete panel walls, offers patrons views to the Potomac River and increases natural daylight for comfort and wellbeing.

Construction is nearing completion on The Center for Aerospace Technology II, the second of three advanced research and laboratory facilities at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Research Park in Daytona Beach, FL. Designed with research and collaboration in mind, the new facility includes a Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Laboratory (SAIL) and fabrication maker space.

The Brown, formerly the Museum of Arts & Science, in Daytona Beach is being reimagined by ikon.5 architects with the goal of creating a more engaging and accessible visitor experience that reflects the cultural depth and vibrancy of its community. Inspired by Daytona’s history of speed and flight, the design of this iconic new facility features a dramatic undulating roof and a centrally located planetarium which serves as a highly visible beacon for attracting visitors. The new enhancements will unify the campus and improve how visitors engage with the Museum’s resources and collections.
