Collaboration

Enhancing the old Technical College while linking across a road to the newer academic building, a powerful architectural collaboration created a whole campus from disparate parts.

Art Integration

A conversation across 5,000 years on information technology depicted in portraits and words from Gutenberg to Alan Turing offers students an expanded historical perspective of their study.

Result

Understanding that everything is related, the design strategically leveraged old and new through a spectrum of devices from the realignment of campus pathways to a repainting of metal panels.
