The winning design is comprised of two elements: a concrete
tube, clad in corrugated stainless steel, that wraps the "L"
to dampen the train noise and the main building, a one-story,
110,000 square foot structure containing the program spaces
(Welcome Center, dining, auditorium, meeting rooms, bookstore,
cafe, post office, offices, convenience store, and campus
radio station) under the tube. Movement through the main building
is along diagonal paths located according to research analyzing
the walking patterns of students across the site. Seeking
to accommodate students, the paths intersect to create island
spaces and nodes of activity for the students and faculty.
