Academic East, a student-centered hub for innovation and exploration showcases a green roof, outdoor terraces, and completes the newly-formed quad.

Academic East glows in the evening showing off the blend of traditional design and 21st learning transparency.

Boxes of soil capture and filter stormwater into the building for study while solar instruments feed real-time data into an adjacent classroom for monitoring.

This recessed lab overlooks the green roof and is used to capture data and offer access to outdoor air for experiments.

A 25-foot living wall helps improve air quality and acoustics in the lobby and visually celebrates the buildings' sustainability commitment as it's pursuing LEED Gold. .

Overlooking the study terrace, this student collaboration space offers natural ventilation for the health and wellbeing of the students. The windows open and close automatically through a passive heating and cooling environment.

Connected to the solar chimney, Senior Projects Lab teams students with corporate partners to develop and refine real-world products and engineering processes.

Creating a secondary quad on the backside of the building, the steel structure is visible to highlight the structural engineering allowing the building to be used as a teaching tool.

The student lab connects directly to graduate and faculty research labs allowing active participation and collaboration opportunities for faculty and students.

Mechanical engineering students experiment with autonomous vehicle technology in labs that allow electric, drive-by-wire research cars access through specialty doorways that retain the building aesthetics.

Adjacent to the teaching lab, this sediment flume lab offers researchers space to perform experiments.

Overlooking the research lab, the teaching sediment flume lab has smaller, academic equipment for undergrad students.
