The Learning Center was conceived with a simple and light wood structure that houses two brick volumes holding the various programs. The double-height entrance atrium is a covered open area to read, study, meet and hold events – a multi-functional space that articulates the building functions and the adjacent campus circulation. The library is a circular volume with brick patterning that allows for natural light and ventilation. Contrasting that is the two-story block of classrooms, offices and lecture halls. The entire complex is elevated from the ground plain to deter flooding.
