Oral History Interview of Robert W. Adams (SOH-089), video recording and transcript, 2024
Description:
To mark the 25th anniversary of the opening of Suffolk University’s Sargent Hall, Robert W. Adams, the building’s principal architect, and John C. Deliso, former Suffolk University Law School associate dean, discuss a variety of aspects related to the building’s siting, design, functional needs, and its overall significance to the law school and the university. Adams details the project’s unique challenges and opportunities, including the building’s location in a congested part of Downtown Boston, surrounded by historically significant properties. They both reflect on how well the building has served the evolving needs of Suffolk University Law School, the wider Suffolk community, and the surrounding neighborhood in the years since it’s opening in 1999.
