The new addition’s exterior design incorporates the exposed structural framework through a horizontal band at the floor and roof lines. The primary exterior material is recessed in plane to make the bands pronounced. Strategic window placement provides natural light into the laboratories and expansive views to the campus.
Additionally, public spaces have expansive windows to promote the life of the building to onlookers and encourage student activity. The primary material is durable, low maintenance and provides a contemporary look. Furthermore, the exterior is regulated by the panel module to reduce construction waste and expedite construction sequencing. The panelized facade references back to the rhythms and patterns found in math and sciences study.
