Architecture
(Design and Functional Components):

The building was designed to act as a gateway for the west side of the campus and strives to connect Isla Vista, an adjacent neighborhood to the core campus. It will also house many important student affairs bodies as well as other University administration offices. A prominent design feature is the triple height central forum space with pedestrian walkways located on either side of the upper levels. Other areas of interest include a double height, elliptical-shaped multi-purpose room on the north east side corner of the building and a Child Care Center on the south side which also features a garden pavilion.

Building Envelope Description:

The northern façade is mainly made of highly transparent metal and glass curtain wall system that allows for efficient daylight utilization. The south facade is mostly clad with light-weight masonry rain-screen with smaller sunshade- equipped windows. The east and west façade uses a mixture of these elements.
Most of the lower roof is made of predominately built-up bituminous roofing with a 1/4”-1’-0” slope. However, the roof area above the central atrium is approximately 10 ft higher and is supported by steel trusses. Clerestories wrap all four sides which allow optimal daylight penetration into the open area below. The windows are also operable which allows most of the building to be naturally ventilated.
