The entrance to Riverdale Country School's student center lies at the junction of several campus buildings. The design of The Egg plays and important role by elevating the experience of entering the complex. The intervention consists of a 450 SF, glass-walled room that engages the inside corner of the 1,200 SF, L-shaped lobby, reflecting the ongoing flow of students and visitors thorough the space. Featuring faceted, low-iron glass panels composing and inverted, oval cone, the volume provides a protective yet highly transparent shell around the space within. The back wall of the room hosts a large LED monitor array, integral to the design, that transmits information and images to the occupants and passerby.

The Egg serves several important functions. It acts as a memorable beacon to welcome people to the student center and provide information for events and other messaging. It establishes an instantly recognizable orientation point at an important crossroads on the campus. Through its simple juxtaposition of art and technology, The Egg affords a functional meeting space that puts collaboration on full display to inspire the students.
