A monumental brick campus gateway featuring robust vertical piers and a grand overhead span, serving as a strong urban-scale threshold precedent.
- What we like about this project
- The deep vertical recesses in the side towers give a striated, monumental texture to what could otherwise be flat masonry.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical monumental gate featuring two massive upright towers connected by a high overhead horizontal span, framed by stepped vertical pilasters and deep recesses.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing or clad masonry wall system with deep stepped reveals and decorative vertical fins.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame clad in red brick with heavy piers supporting the overhead span.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental scale; the gateway stands several stories high to mark the principal university entrance.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting clean shadows across the textured red brick surfaces under a clear blue sky.
- Atmosphere
- Solemn, orderly, and monumental.
- Environmental context
- Open campus plaza setting with other institutional buildings visible in the background.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching and passing underneath the gate creates a strong sense of threshold and arrival into a grand campus precinct.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical piers flanking the grand central opening create a rhythmic, monumental rhythm.
