February 20, 2011 Category: Education, Public Buildings

The Centre for Science and Computation designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects is located in Annandale-on-Hudson, United States. Built in prominent central campus location, the building is organized around a curved spine. The Center’s design incorporates glass exterior walls, a large atrium and an open floor plan. The laboratory spaces face a wooded area through a full height curtain wall that runs the length of the building. Within the lobby are located four freestanding pods clad in copper, stainless steel and zinc that contain the auditorium, two lecture rooms and public gathering space. Faculty offices, located on the second floor, cantilever over the lobby. The second phase of the building, a 20,000 square foot chemistry extension, will continue the formal extrusion and building organization to the South.
