Seoul Foreign School, New High School
The New High School is a beautiful and efficient machine for contemporary learning, rooted in its context while shaped by international best practices. Peter Schubert, Design Partner Traditional Korean architecture is marked by openness and privacy: a delicate balance of bringing the landscape inside, while at the same time providing separation. Two of the primary […]
NYU Langone Health, Science Building and School of Medicine
While teaching and research programs have historically been distributed across the campus, Ennead’s 2010 master plan proposed consolidating the academic programs on the southwest corner of the campus, organizing teaching, conference, administrative, and academic-life programs around a central courtyard. A new 18-story, 365,000-square-foot research tower anchors one side of the quadrangle and serves as a […]
The University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering, Engineering Education and Research Center
https://player.vimeo.com/video/254040310?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 The breadth of Engineering education has seen a massive explosion of diversity and increasing potential for real life applications. The EERC is designed to not only meet these and future challenges through architecture but to do so with the recognition that both students and faculty are part of one communal collaborative effort to find […]
Purdue University, Flex Lab Facility
A super-flexible lab layout defined by re-combinable bench space and support labs, high-bay research space, low vibration basement labs for optics, and a complementary landscape of hoteling offices, open work areas, hot desk space and “work cafes” addresses the constant evolution of the engineering disciplines. Lab and work areas are visually connected by uninterrupted floor-to-ceiling […]
Cape Horn Sub-Antarctic Center
Our intention is to touch this breathtakingly beautiful and delicate landscape lightly, to minimize the Center’s environmental footprint, in terms of natural systems on site, critical common resources such as electricity and potable water, and maintenance over its life-cycle. Richard Olcott, Design Partner Interdisciplinary, socio-ecological research programs that bring together scientists, intellectuals, artists, indigenous people […]
New York University, Center for Genomics and Systems Biology
The design of the Center arises from the interplay of new and old to create a leading vertical laboratory facility. While incorporating the historical character of the site and its existing façades, the updated facility is optimized for the twenty-first century. Richard Olcott, Design Partner The design preserves three existing, six-story, 100-year-old façades, integrating a […]
Bridge for Laboratory Sciences, Vassar College, Integrated Science Commons
https://player.vimeo.com/video/234702925?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 As architects we think about how people experience our buildings. It is important to engage and propel the user along a journey. The curvilinear design creates a sense of discovery as the views unfold – both in to the sciences and out to the landscape. Richard Olcott, Design Partner An outgrowth of a programming […]
State University of New York at Cobleskill, Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources
Pathways weave around the building, leading to three primary entrances on two levels, creating a campus “crossroads.” An open double-height space connects two floors with a café overlooking a monumental stair that links these prime public levels. To increase social interaction, computer classrooms and a lecture hall are directly adjacent to public spaces; public corridors, inside and […]

Responding to the Bloomberg administration’s economic development team’s request for proposal, this master plan offers a solution for how to integrate a 1.87 Million SF cutting edge, unified campus for […]
Natural History Museum of Utah
https://player.vimeo.com/video/326676101?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 Utah’s natural environment memorializes the story of how human beings interpreted their world and their land over one thousand years ago. The material quality of the building’s exterior roots it in its context, recalling the importance of landscape in Utah’s human and natural history. Todd Schliemann, Design Partner Utah’s singular landscape and the ways […]
