Developers Bruntwood SciTech invited SpaceInvader to consider best usage for a lower ground space within its newly re-developed ‘Glasshouse’ building at world-leading life science and innovation campus, Alderley Park. Glasshouse represents the redevelopment of a former toxicology lab, comprising 16 separate buildings, arranged around a central courtyard garden, into a single, new 150,000 sq ft commercial office building, specifically designed for digital and tech businesses.

Designed by EskewDumezRipple in collaboration with Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio (RJTR), this 416,500-square-foot high-rise research building features an expressive two-tower massing (one at 14 stories and one at 18 stories).
The complex will serve as Phase 3 of Georgia Tech’s ambitious expansion in midtown Atlanta, known as Technology Square. The project, and its mission to empower Georgia Tech students, faculty, and stakeholders to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition, seeks to benefit from the proximity to and interaction with nearby startups, researchers, labs, corporate innovators, and venture capitalists in this vibrant intellectual environment.

Noll & Tam Architects is working with the Solano Community College District on the design of their new Library/Learning Resource Center. The new 59,252-square-foot, two-story Library/Learning Resource Center building is envisioned as the symbolic and physical heart of the Fairfield Campus. It will strengthen an existing campus community as it attracts and inspires students by providing needed services such as tutorial, research and group study rooms. The building represents a shift occurring on many campuses where active and collaborative learning has become a priority.
The Learning Resource Center, an innovative state-of-the-art library that provides a vibrant collection of study spaces organized around a dramatic social stair on the Michael J. Grant Campus of Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood, New York, takes its place at the center of the campus, at the confluence of major pedestrian pathways between the Caumsett Student Center and the Health/Sports/Education Center, and between the major parking lots for this commuter college. A simple mass of nine cubes arranged in a three-by-three grid accommodates the library program on two floors. Portions of the cubes are either removed or expanded to create an interplay between negative and positive space that allows the Learning Resource Center to act as a prism that casts sunlight deep into the Learning Resource Center throughout the day. A central lantern rises above the building to create an iconic expression on the campus skyline, a beacon visible from all corners of the campus.
