The fourth completed academic building on UC Merced's new campus is a 3-story, 100,000 square-foot, interdisciplinary facility that provides instructional, office and research space. Faculty office and research space is organized around a double-height atrium with views of the Le Grand Canal and the nearby Sierra Nevadas. The building's design and material palette responds to the Central Valley's strong agrarian and industrial forms. The project is LEED Platinum Certified.
