Robert Day Science Center

The Robert Day Sciences Center at CMC features an open auditorium, labs, research spaces, and multifunctional roofs with 360-degree views of Mt. Baldy, the building will serve a community of 1,400 students. By literally stacking disciplines together in a Jenga-like composition, the framing of a column-free bar will serve as a multilevel gathering hub of collaboration and a crossroads for scientific thought and also stimulate the rest of the liberal arts students to take a deeper interest in the sciences and vice versa.

The architecture of the new Robert Day Sciences Center maximizes multidisciplinary integration and interaction. Each level of the 12500 square-meters building is oriented in a different direction, delivering the flow of people and ideas internally between the labs and the classrooms as externally between the center and the rest of the buildings.
