Beloit College has selected one of the more celebrated architects in the U.S. to convert an electrical power plant into a recreation center that will showcase sustainable design and revitalize the riverfront.
The college's board of trustees selected Studio Gang Architects of Chicago to transform the century-old power plant, owned by Alliant Energy. The plan calls for a transition of ownership of the electrical Blackhawk Generating Station on the Rock River in Beloit from the Wisconsin utility to the school in 2016.
Studio Gang is known for designs that are pragmatic but cutting edge, elegant without being overly expressive. The studio's process is one that integrates a diverse range of experts, from ecologists to water specialists to artists.
Studio Gang is led by Jeanne Gang, a MacArthur Fellow and FastCompany Master of Design winner. Her work was featured in a solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago last fall. Last month, Gang and managing principal Mark Schendel accepted the 2013 National Design Award in Architecture from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum during a reception at the White House.
Studio Gang's most known project is the undulating, 82-story tower in Chicago, the Aqua Tower.
"The Studio Gang team is very excited to partner with Beloit College," Gang said in a statement. "Together we can transform this historic structure into a new hub for wellness, green power, and great architecture."
Beloit College will need to raise $30 million for the project to move forward and to formalize the sale of the electrical power plant to the college. The funds will be used to acquire the property and restore it.
Beloit College has completed a campuswide study to look at ways that the building might be used, including a 150-seat auditorium and a swimming pool.
One of the more known transformations of a power plant was the reuse of the electrical power plant on the south bank of the River Thames in London into the Tate Modern museum by Herzog & de Meuron architects in 2000. The large turbine hall has become one of the more prestigious locations for artists to create installations in the world.

TOWNSEND -- The North Middlesex Regional High School Building Committee voted to allow architects to get estimates on exterior building materials and to pursue additional energy-certification points at a meeting Monday.
The committee discussed the merits of using brick, concrete and metal on the exterior of the building before deciding to let the project architects get estimates for the material it thinks is best-suited to the project's budget and the building's needs.
Project manager Alex Pitkin warned against trying to save money by choosing cheaper materials that will require maintenance. Metal, he said, could be easily dented and would need to be replaced, while brick is more durable.
"There can be a tendency to try to go toward windows that are residential," Pitkin said. "We are an institution, not a residence, and we want the quality that will last 50 years."
Pitkin said the exterior of the building will be in keeping with the area's rural character.
When committee member Sue Lisio said she is more concerned with the functionality of the inside of the building than its outward appearance, Pitkin responded that the outside is also important.
"What happens inside the building can be affected if the outside deteriorates," Pitkin said.
Once the budget is set, the committee could choose to use less expensive materials, but not more expensive ones, Pitkin said, making it wise to budget for the higher-quality materials if the committee
Member Gary Shepherd said he favors brick and concrete over metal.
"I believe that brick and concrete has proven itself over the last 100 years," Shepherd said. "I'd rather see that than metal. We're not building a building that we want to have a long-term maintenance program for."
