- Geometry
- An angular, multi-story volume featuring a prominent diagrid frame overlaid on a glazed curtain wall, sitting above a stepped public plaza.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with exterior white structural diagonal columns.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with diagonal structural bracing integrated into the exterior envelope.
- Spatial scale
- Large academic facility frontage; multi-story massing flanked by a wide multi-tier public staircase.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight with soft clouds casting gentle shadows across the facade and plaza paving.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant, open academic environment characterized by crisp white structural lines and active public spaces.
- Environmental context
- A structured campus courtyard with multi-level hardscaping, walkways, and neighboring academic buildings.
- Spatial experience
- The building engages directly with the wide public courtyard, drawing pedestrians from the grand stair plaza beneath a large cantilevered canopy.
- Composition rhythm
- Dynamic diagonal structural rhythm countering the horizontal lines of the stepped plaza and canopy.
