EpiCenter, Artists for Humanity

Arrowstreet designed a new, 22,500-square-foot headquarters and studio space on an urban site for the Boston non-profit educational group Artists for Humanity. The building includes painting, silkscreen, photo, and sculpture studios, as well as gallery space for 500 people. Interior spaces are open, unobstructed, and flexible to adapt to the changing needs of the center and its students. An important project goal was to maximize renewable energy generation and to minimize energy consumption; a rooftop photovoltaic array produces a large percentage of the energy the building uses.
