Project
Babson Horn Library Renovations
Client: Babson College
Wellesley, Massachusetts
The renovations at Horn Library began as a relatively modest Phase 1 project, adding more seating and quiet study space to the library; improving light levels; and upgrading finishes, thereby enhancing the student’s library experience. Following the completion of these renovations, Finegold Alexander was invited to design a new Resource Center and a dramatic new 10,000-square-foot Commons addition. Centrally located at the ground level, the Resource Center offers students a dynamic learning environment with faculty and peer support for their speech, writing, and math pursuits. With these interventions Horn Library has become a hub of campus activity, providing state-of-the-art facilities for research, innovation, and learning.

“Defining what a university library requires in its evolution to serve students is no easy task as the library of the 21st century continues to evolve. The team at Finegold Alexander Architects is thrilled to be part of this library transformation on the historic Babson campus.”

This “before” photo shows that the existing library spaces were dimly lit; they suffered from a chaotic layout; and were cluttered with outdated furniture systems. The newly renovated study spaces, by contrast, are generously scaled, clearly organized, and fully outfitted for tech-savvy students.

By providing a range of spaces for research, collaboration, learning and socialization, Babson College created a unified library environment at the heart of the college.

We made fixes to all mobile and safari browsers and you should no longer experience issues with those. Thanks!
Overview
Building an image comparison section in Webflow doesn't need to be difficult, and it shouldn't cost you time or money...
Here's a simple solution, we built ontop of the awesome js work from @pehaa.
We've tried to make this really accessible for all users, so what's important here is <Image Wrapper> and the two images inside of it, namely <Image One> and of course <Image Two>. We recommend you size your two images the same, although it will work regardless.
Use <Image Wrapper> to set your maximum width, and copy the code from page settings. That's it, when you publish the page the magic will happen.
