45,000 square feet
1991

This 45,000 square foot building provides one of the nation's leading schools of social work with a new and progressive image and resolves architectural dissonances within its campus precinct adjacent a residential neighborhood. Administrative and faculty offices, conference rooms, library and classrooms are disposed in two wings flanking a glass entrance tower, which introduces diagonal movement and mediates between the regular geometry of the street fronts and the irregularity of the courtyard facades. The transparent quality of the volume is underscored by the placement of informal gathering spaces on the second and third floors.
