The proposed LEED certified structure is conceived of as a portal comprised of a base and a top supported by two towers that allow large exterior public spaces at ground and in sky. The project's mass is sensitively sited to respect its immediate context--establishing a friendly pedestrian experience of plazas, quads, and arcades that provide space for the enjoyment of life. The form, an extruded quadrangle, is carved to maximizing openness and flow of activity and view through the large contoured center opening which frames the Freedom Tower. The proposed project is a mix-use building that, in addition to housing the College's 250,000 sf Wolfson Campus Arts and Humanities Center, will include146,400 square feet of two-level street fronting commercial space wrapping the entire base of the building as well as a 41,000 sf open-air campus “Arts Quad” on the third level.
