"We are always looking for ways to boost utilization [of education
interiors] by making spaces do double and triple duty," says Rossant.
The Great Hall, for example, features a retractable tiered seating
system that allows it to be converted, in less than 20 minutes, from
a casual lounge area with bleacher-like seating to a more formal
auditorium configuration. When opened, large bi-fold glass doors
expand the hall into the outdoor plaza.
The light-filled law library, also available to the public, is designed
to appear exceedingly open and democratic. With faculty offices
and classrooms surrounding the library, faculty-student interaction
has increased exponentially compared to the previous building.
"It's a law library without boundaries," says Rossant.
Engaging with the world
For the interiors, Jones Studio began the design process with a
big-picture view. "We started talking about what it means to be a law
student and what they expect from their college," says Brian Farling,
AIA, lead designer at Jones Studio. "That evolved into a conversation
of 'What does it mean to have heft and gravitas?'" The resulting
interiors reinterpret the law school archetype of dark tones in a modern
way while also drawing inspiration from desert landscapes and the
colors in sunsets. Walnut wood screening elements, polished concrete
floors with visible aggregate, and striated carpet patterns reference
local geology. Walls are painted in varying warm gray tones, and accent
colors are rich, earthy shades of red, orange, and purple.
In the few months since it has opened, the Sandra Day O'Connor
College of Law's new home has proved an important asset in attracting
new students. According to the college administration, applications
are up 33 percent compared to recent years.
"We recruit a unique breed of students and faculty that are ready
to rise to the challenges we have set," says Thomas Williams, assistant
dean for academic affairs and the institution. "Our new building doesn't
just facilitate this by being beautiful with state-of-the-art technology
and great classrooms, but it calls to the students that want to be
engaged with the community and the world." c
The Great Hall (above)
features rectractable tiered
seating that can be converted
from a casual bleacher-like
format (pictured) to a more
formal auditorium setting.
An executive conference
center on the sixth floor (right)
incorporates a multitude
of video screens that are
balanced by an earthy color
palette. The fifth-floor
courtyard (opposite, top
right) is shaded to make
it comfortable year round.
The open, double-height
library (opposite, top left,
and bottom) provides
a variety of seating options
and encourages chance
encounters between
faculty and students.
