While the scientists and engineers in 色情视频鈥檚 new, state-of-the-art focus on the future, the complex鈥檚 architecture will reflect the university鈥檚 legacy.

鈥淓ver since 2008 and 2009, when we began the design work on the Aztec Student Union, we recognized that the campus aesthetic is California Mission Revival architecture,鈥� said Robert Schulz, associate vice president of operations and university architect. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the iconic, historic campus that our alumni and students love.鈥�

The California Mission Revival style draws on the modest yet functional designs of the state鈥檚 early adobe missions. Think Hepner Hall and Hardy Tower as the campus鈥檚 premier examples.

The style鈥檚 modern interpretation casts durable, cost-effective painted cement in place of large adobe blocks, but keeps the emphasis on white exteriors, regularly spaced small windows, tile roofs and modest decorative elements.

Resurrecting the California Mission Revival style for the new complex is actually a return to form for campus architecture, Schulz explained. A number of buildings built in the late 1960s and early 鈥�70s 鈥� including the Industrial Technology building that the EIS Complex will replace 鈥� departed from 色情视频鈥檚 original mission architecture. The resulting mishmash of styles wasn鈥檛 a good look for campus, Schulz said.

"We can do better"

鈥淭he early 1970s were kind of a dark period in 色情视频鈥檚 architectural history,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hen they put up new buildings during that time, they made no effort to make them fit with the existing campus. We think we can do much, much better.鈥�

While the exterior design looks to the past for its inspiration, the new complex鈥檚 interior is dedicated to the needs of future scientists and engineers, Schulz said. The complex鈥檚 interior space will introduce much more instructional, laboratory and collaborative space than in the present Industrial Technology building.

Outside, the Thomas B. Day Quad 鈥� named to honor 色情视频鈥檚 sixth president 鈥� will provide space for students to lounge and researchers to discuss their latest projects while sitting in garden spaces that ring around the quad.

The designers want to foster the kinds of novel innovations that emerge when scientists, mathematicians and engineers can see one another working and easily bounce around ideas in common spaces and coffee shops.

State of the art

In terms of technological capacity, the EIS Complex will house state-of-the-art scientific and industrial machines. Because many of these machines require extremely precise calibration and can be affected by vibration and ground movement, the structure is designed to be 鈥渞eally stiff, solid, and immobile,鈥� Schulz said.

The lowest level will house an MRI machine, which won鈥檛 sit on foundation, but instead on a concrete slab isolated from the structure, offering maximum protection to this ultrasensitive equipment.

As with the Aztec Student Union, the EIS Complex designers are also keeping environmental concerns in mind. Schulz said they will seek LEED Certification for the complex.

When it鈥檚 all finished and the scientists and engineers are hard at work within, Schulz wants people to marvel at how they managed to fit cutting-edge equipment and technology into such an old piece of campus.

鈥淚 hope it will feel like it鈥檚 always been there,鈥� he said. 鈥淚f people see it and make that mistake, I鈥檇 be very happy.鈥�
