oriented around a central quad at its base, surrounded by the school’s library and a series of design laboratories.

As the building roses, each floor is centered around a gathering or communal space at its core, with other rooms radiating outwards. an expandable auditorium is centered on this level. 

The building’s facade is kept porous with a series of horizontal pieces spaced apart.  These levels can be used as outdoorseating and stairs, allowing students to climb the building.
