In Pakistan, Boston architect Thomas Payette spent decades working on projects for local billionaire and philanthropist Aga Khan. Those efforts have landed a plum assignment for Payette: overseeing the construction of a $450 million liberal arts college.
The new Aga Khan University of Arts and Sciences will establish one of the first full-scale liberal arts colleges in the Middle East. The school, which is designed in Islamic city form, will eventually be home to 10,000 students.
