At the Anderson School of Management, form guides the careful balance between built and open spaces. It gives significance both to the School’s elegant buildings as well as the places between them. The resulting courtyard becomes the helm of campus circulation.

The five-story buildings enjoy integrated circulation that allows for connectivity across the School’s programs and across the wider campus.

Its elegant spaces are multiuse, allowing for both introspective study and interaction. Natural light and open views of the surrounding campus create peaceful but dynamic spaces.

Contrasting materials in their most refined form, create a crisp backdrop for the students’ activities.

Planning, form, and execution come together to create a distinctive and iconic design.
