ClientPoint Loma Nazarene University

This 3,500-student California university, known for its rigorous science programs and successful medical school placements, completed a large science center. Against stereotype, the design for this Christian institution makes physical the school’s dialogue between scientific progress and biblical teachings. Labs and classrooms are wrapped in insulating-glass and smooth-concrete. On its south exposure, a feathered curve of perforated metal panels extends, embracing a grassy-slope. Conceived for shade, this “environmental-screen” is laser-cut with symbols with religious and scientific allusion.
