Campus Context:

As the Chesapeake Campus has developed, we created the concept of jewels. These are unique works of architecture that complement the red brick buildings and add energy to the campus plan.
All the buildings find inspiration from beautiful scale and proportion.
They fit together and the spaces between buildings are as important as the structures themselves.
The bay windows that act as lanterns of energy.

Key Points:

This is a cornerstone building based on its visibility and location on the corner of NW 59^th & Classen. This is the southwest corner of the campus.
The building is 252,000 s.f. including 5 floors and 1 basement. The 52’W planning module is used. We have approximately 874 offices.
Each new building on the East Campus is glass and each will have a unique skin making each different and compatible as a part of the whole.
The white detailing, glass color and sun shading connect the East Campus together and the color white connects to the Historic Campus
You will see ideas for public art and a water feature.
