At the Lawrenceville School Tsai Commons and Field house, recreation, athletics, and dining come together into a single environment of connection and community. Taking a holistic approach to student wellness, the Tasi Field House is a reimagined take on the school’s historic field house that includes a two-level dining hall, state-of-the-art athletics facilities, and community event areas.
At the center of the Field House is the Harkness Courtyard, inspired by the Lawrenceville School’s culture and education model, the Harkness Method: using student-centered discussion around an oval table to encourage critical thinking and inclusive dialog. The elliptical courtyard is clad in CUSTOM 2C FSC®-Certified Accoya® wood, a warm and organic material that transitions the experience of the landscape into the interior, establishing a sense of welcome and common space. Accoya wood is ideal for both exterior and interior applications, offering superior environmental and performance benefits due to its patented modification technique.
