The Innovation, Science, and Technology building is designed by Calatrava. Located on the north side of the central lake it is designed around, the exterior building is made up of aluminum, aluminum cladding, concrete and glass. The interior is made of concrete flooring and columns, plaster, steel and glass. It houses classrooms, laboratories, offices, meeting spaces and an amphitheater. On the second floor, offices and meeting rooms are arranged around the “Commons”.The operable roof helps to shade the skylight of the Commons from direct sunlight and maximize daylight to the space.
