The expansion of the University of Utah’s College or Architecture and Planning calls for a separate building located in the urban setting of downtown Salt Lake City. This new opportunity calls for a new type of building, connecting students, professors and the general public. Breaking down the physical and visible barriers separating these groups will increase professor involvement and increase the communities awareness of the school, while bringing students closer to the built environment. The flexibility of the spaces allows for freedom in the inclusion of other disciplines such as engineering or even business in order to diversify the educational experiences of the students. Four concrete “anchors” punctured with stripped windows provide controlled views, air circulation and sun exposure. Connecting these anchors are three bridges, treated with glazing to allow for greater levels of connection. An alley way through the middle of the site is left open to allow for connection between both ends of the site.
