directly to the atrium, extending the capacity of the space for events.
The gypsum-board face of each floor curves around the atrium on
separate paths, creating a dynamic, lively circulation space for casual
meetings. The atrium connects the second and third floors of the
building with a stepped amphitheater of exaggerated stairs, focusing
attention on a 20-screen media wall used for announcements as well as
a backdrop for events. A small cafe tucked under the stepped seating
amplifies the social aspects of the space.
Steve McDowell, a principal with BNIM, originally envisioned
the atrium as having a flat glass roof, but the design evolved into three
discrete skylights angled in different directions. "In the morning, you
get a subtle light from the southeast-facing skylight that wakes up
the building," McDowell says. "By afternoon, the southwest-facing
skylight floods the building with a warmer yellow and then reddish
light." McDowell says the shift in colors during the day has proven
a remarkable way to tune the building's occupants to natural
rhythms. Such innovative strategies will help the project meet
its LEED Gold target.

A neutral backdrop enlived by its inhabitants
Finishes were kept simple, with glass balustrades, exposed concrete
columns and structural ceilings, and a Haworth TecCrete concrete tile
raised-floor system, which is used throughout as part of the building's
energy-efficient underfloor displacement ventilation system. The
architects used white oak wood panels in the second and third floor
ceilings to conceal acoustical treatment, creating a seemingly
random pattern out of a single module. The wood is also used on
the amphitheater and exposed staircase. "We intentionally kept
the materials neutral to let people animate the space," Yudell says.
The white oak also forms slats rippling along the curved Path of
Innovation wall, which acts as a north-south spine through the ground
floor of the building, connecting the existing business school buildings
to the south with a student center to the north. Jeanne Chen, a
principal with Moore Ruble Yudell, says the business school's previous
dean, Teng-Kee Tan, remarked early on that "the path of innovation is
never a straight line," a statement that appears to have successfully
translated in design.
And Simmons pointed to another sign of the building's success:
after opening last fall, more faculty members are requesting to teach
in the new building than in the older facilities. c
