College of Engineering Study
An interior precedent for academic study spaces utilizing terraced timber bleacher seating integrated with working desks and breakout booths.
- What we like about this project
- Study tables cantilever directly off the stepped timber risers.

- tiered-seating
- multilevel
- informal-learning
- Geometry
- Terraced stepped seating forms a multi-level amphitheater intersected by desks and structural columns.
- Structural guess
- Concrete slab and column framing with steel stair elements
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story collegiate study hall scaled for groups and individual work.
- Lighting
- Mixed ambient overhead linear fixtures supplemented by abundant natural daylight from surrounding glazing.
- Atmosphere
- Energetic and warm with active student collaboration zones.
- Environmental context
- Large open-plan academic interior with visible concrete structure and mezzanine levels.
- Spatial experience
- Open and collaborative, transitioning from sunken lounge booths up through stacked stair seating.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical stair treads matched with horizontal cushion bands and slender table legs.
