Hart Fisher Smith & Associates,
in conjunction with EDAW and Laura Bayer Programming,
programmed and designed the master plan for a new
114-acre hillside campus to serve 15,000 students. The
ecologically sensitive master plan includes reduced
parking ratios due to a commitment to convenient public
transportation, an outdoor wetlands teaching laboratory,
a sustainable landscaping concept utilizing native plant
materials, and a compact core area with all facilities
within easy walking distance.
Major design issues
included sustainability, daylighting, creating an active
interior plaza, and the building orientation in regards
to the solar grid. The green buffer provides sensitivity
to residents. The campus is truly a design created by
the environment in which it
sits. | |
