The project respects Sert’s urbanistic vision and preserves the building’s structural backbones while fully transforming its interiors to meet current pedagogy and sustainable focus. The goals were to 1) create an inviting, comfortable, and engaging entry and public experience and 2) reflect current pedagogy and student life which emphasize the social/study nature of learning. The renovation adds new flexible teaching labs, classrooms, and offices emphasizing science on display. New alcoves, lounges, balconies with laptop bars, and curated seating areas attract users and the public at large.
