My thoughts are that a double wall between the sleeping rooms and classrooms can act as a vent stack for the building. Fresh air can be brought in and exchanged through the south elevation windows and upper north elevation windows. Natural northern daylighting is prevalent throughout the studio spaces from the curtain wall of metal panel, insulated glass and stone panels. The south-eastern windows in the sleeping rooms provide morning light, while a brise-soliel above the glazing provides shading from the high summer sun but allows low winter light in throughout the day. The exhibit space is partially underground and constructed of concrete with a green roof to keep the temperature much more steady, and storefront windows along Boylston Ave allow direct light and solar heat into the public entrance of the building.

Carli, nice minimalist section. Did you have a chance to talk Chris about the building systems? Especially the ventilation chimney is interesting but outside my area of expertise. I would like to know what Chris thinks.
Are the dark blue panels above the brise-soleils PV or painted metal panels?
