This multipurpose facility for EIT illustrates a contemporary approach to the design of learning spaces. The centrepiece of the campus is a new atrium, which also fulfills a role as a learning hub and communal space for students. The atrium responds to the varied and complex interfaces around its edges with a clean and legible form. Inside, structural elements - concrete plinths with glulam 'branches' - acknowledge the well- established tree canopies in the adjacent courtyard, blurring the distinction between natural and built forms, and visually and metaphorically relating the common space back to the exterior.
