(Architects), Design Building exemplifies the University’s commitment to sustainable and innovative design and the pedagogic value of integrating three academic programs. Thanks to a grant through the 2014 Environmental Bond Bill, the Design Building also serves as a demonstration of new and innovative wood construction technologies. The building integrates the latest wood technologies including a structural system consisting of exposed heavy engineered timber and cross laminated timber (CLT) decking and shear walls. An elegant “zipper truss” spans the two-story high building commons space. The exterior cladding incorporates a glazed curtain wall system and an aluminum panel rain-screen system. The exterior landscape consists of active rainwater detention basins and local stone elements that extend into the building.
