Kwong Von Glinow designed three new spaces in MD Anderson Hall: a Welcome Center, a Student and Community Forum, and a Faculty & Staff Lounge. These spaces are situated along the building's central axis, emphasizing community within the architectural framework. The design process began by exploring the history of MD Anderson Hall, including its original 1947 construction and the 1981 addition by noted architects. A significant influence on the design approach was the concept of 'finding' space, stemming from Philip Johnson's commentary on the existing architecture.
