Architects Sean Goodrick '97 and Jim Tevebaugh Critique Architectural-Environmental Students' Designs of the Claymont Train Station
This week, architects Sean Goodrick '97 and Jim Tevebaugh of the architectural firm Tevebaugh and Associates in Wilmington, Delaware, visited Terry Newitt's Architectural-Environmental Design Class to offer input and advice to the students. Last fall, his firm commissioned these students to provide design input for the Claymont Train Station as their semester-long project. At the end of the semester, the students’ 2-D designs and 3-D models will be presented and critiqued by an actual panel of architects selected by Mr. Tevebaugh. Among these architects will be Sean Goodrick ‘97. The new Claymont Train Station, which will be located where the shuttered Evraz Steel Mill is currently, is slated to be completed over the next five or six years. The project is estimated at close to $40 million dollars.

Sean Goodrick '97 and Jim Tevebaugh visited the class and critiqued our students' general floor plans for their designs. They made suggestions as to what the students should focus on next as they move toward constructing a scaled model of their station. Their advice encouraged the students to have fun, try and be amazingly inventive in their vision of the railroad station’s shape and other design issues such as a pedestrian platform across the tracks, pedestrian connections to the train station, plans for natural light, etc. They also applauded our students for their sketchbooks filled with digital research and preliminary thinking. Mr. Tevebaugh and Mr. Goodrick will be visiting the class again later this spring.
