The Eastern Washington University Interdisciplinary Science Center is the social hub and heart of the school’s research complex in Cheney, Washington. The four-level building was designed by LMN Architects to connect to the existing Science Building by two enclosed pedestrian bridges, forming a single integrated facility between the two structures. An atrium and cascading glass walls mark major entries and social spaces while providing vast views over the campus landscape.
 

Challenge:

The project was stalled by the complexity of the geometric structural addition, which required sophisticated.
