ASU Polytechnic Academic District
Mesa, AZ
Five new academic buildings more than doubled the academic space at the Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus creating a unified district on a formerly spread-out campus. The new facilities provide laboratory and classroom space for engineering and science related programs. Integrated with three existing buildings to create a cohesive complex, the new buildings are configured around three courtyards and linked by a series of open-air atriums, portals and arcades, taking advantage of the seasonally temperate climate for exterior circulation. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.
[Lake|Flato] demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of academic programming requirements and they delivered an inspired solution of architectural design, landscape and materials that was carefully calibrated to meet the project site.
