The Anschutz Engineering Center at UCCS, designed by OZ Architecture, features advanced labs, classrooms, and a striking glass stairway with a ceiling-mounted satellite. With just one day to photograph two buildings, limited access, and ongoing classes, we adapted by capturing authentic campus life rather than staging scenes. Prioritizing key areas, we worked around class schedules to highlight integration, sustainability, and innovation. The resulting images now support OZ’s award submissions and future pursuits.
