A new 130,000 SF engineering building for North Carolina A&T State University located on the prominent corner of A&T’s campus. Technical spaces float as copper screen wrapped volumes; while the ‘people’ spaces maximize glazing with vertical fins to control solar heat gain and emphasize the organic geometry of the plan.

Organized by thematic research topics, this building aims to encourage convergence through a facility that lets the various engineering departments freely collaborate and share resources.
Classroom spaces, high bays, labs, and public spaces are located in ways that facilitate interaction and discovery.
