The largest new construction project ever on the east Mesa campus, the 245,000-sq-ft, three-building project unites three Arizona State University academic schools and includes laboratories, classrooms, faculty offices, a lecture hall and a fine arts performance space. The LEED gold project celebrates the desert sun while protecting its users. On the east and west, for example, a weathered, perforated corrugated metal screen at the upper levels blocks and filters the intense low-angled sun. The south elevations incorporate horizontal sunshades and light shelves to bounce sunlight into the buildings while the heavily glazed north elevations rely on vertical sunshades.
