This 44,000 square foot facility houses the departments of physics, mathematics & computer science, and psychology, as well as general education and lecture spaces. The building is organized by access to light and view as opposed to segregating each department. Each discpline’s learning lounges organize faculty offices and seminar rooms around open student learning areas with direct connections to outdoor plazas and gardens. A central atrium serves as the activity hub and point of circulation and social interaction while bringing natural light to all levels of the building interior including the full basement.
