This LEED Platinum addition to the original Anderson School complex creates a bold campus presence that re-imagines UCLA’s traditional four-color blended brick and buff-colored cast-stone masonry banding. Transforming a condition long considered an unattractive barrier between the school and the core campus, the design sites the building atop an existing parking structure, framing a new pedestrian plaza and cascading grand stair to the south. The result is a new primary entrance to the school that also serves as a dramatic gateway to UCLA’s North Campus.
