Designed by KieranTimberlake and Davis Brody Bond, the full block structure features faculty and student housing, 58 classrooms, performing arts spaces including a 350-seat theater, a student commons space on the second floor, and athletic facilities at the base. Installation of the pleated glass curtain wall with glare reducing frit patterns is nearly finished at the podium and panels are going up on the towers.
