We're thrilled to share Architectural Record's June 2024 cover story featuring the newly renovated Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. Reopening to the public on June 21, the Folger houses the world's largest collection of Shakespeare's printed works. Over the past ten years, KieranTimberlake has partnered with Folger to provide strategic planning services, culminating in an expanded site and reimagined visitor experience. To complement the 1932 landmarked building by Paul Cret, KieranTimberlake went below, literally digging beneath the structure to create a more equitable and welcoming experience for all. “This is a building of great rooms,” said Partner Stephen Kieran. “We modernized the three historic rooms, but in a silent way. And we created the gardens as outdoor rooms.” The 6,000 square foot addition includes a lobby, exhibition halls, learning lab, gift shop, and offices, while vastly improving accessibility and circulation. “This project offers an alternative—without any changes to Cret's original elevations—and a way forward for institutions seeking to grow but contending with limitations,” they write.

Building Transparency recently announced it is developing Tally® 2.0, the next iteration of its tallyLCA tool, in collaboration with KieranTimberlake. The new version of the tool will continue to support the building industry by providing insight into the environmental impact of materials and different building designs. “We are honored to partner with Building Transparency on the development of Tally 2.0," said Ryan Welch, Principal and Research Director at KieranTimberlake. "By transitioning Tally to a free and open-access tool, we aim to move the AEC industry towards design strategies that minimize environmental impact." TallyLCA was the first LCA app that allowed designers to calculate the environmental impacts of their buildings directly in Revit®. It's focused on empowering higher-level design and material type choices that become the critical first step toward reducing their design's environmental impact. Today, tallyLCA has almost 3,500 users in the AEC industry. Tally 2.0 is expected to be available for public release in 2025.
