The architect who designed Kalamazoo College’s Arcus Center, a $3 to $5 million building scheduled to be built when proper zoning is approved, has been named a MacArthur genius.
Chicago architect Jeanne Gang unveiled her design for the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership at Kalamazoo College in May to mixed reactions from neighbors, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports.
Gang, a principal and the founder of Studio Gang Architects is among 22 people named this year's MacArthur fellows, by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The fellows get a $500,000, no-strings-attached grant to use as they see fit over the next five years.
