Conceived as a marketplace – the root of all business transactions – the Center is a series of discrete buildings surrounding and organized by a “public square.” This strategy addresses the vast scale of the school and creates a central gathering place where students, faculty and professionals interact in large or small groups, formally or serendipitously.
Our building incorporates our philosophy to build communities.
Dean Finley Graves
Classrooms are arranged in blocks rising up through the building, separated from other floor areas by bridges and skylights. The public spaces are connected by three main public stairs that traverse the floors of the building, providing for quick and efficient student movement through the building between classes.
