Program
The project comprises varied facilities within its angular form. It includes a freshman/sophomore dormitory (250 beds), a junior/senior dormitory (150 beds), administrative offices, a living-learning center (study, class and conference rooms), a kitchen and dining hall, faculty apartments, as well as a public, outdoor green space.
Building Form
The complex encourages the interaction of the specific programmatic elements, striving to achieve a rich mix of social, residential and educational facilities which does not presently exist on campus. The building’s form adjusts itself to the landscape architect’s master plan and to the surrounding site conditions.
