Newhouse III is an expressive icon that joins two pre-existing buildings to complete the campus-within-a-campus and define a new identity for the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. The full expression of both Newhouse I, designed by IM Pei in 1963, and Newhouse II, designed by SOM in 1972, was never realised. Newhouse III architecturally completes the thwarted ambitions of the previous projects and announces the contemporary ambitions of this prestigious school.
