square-foot academic building. At a cost of approximately $43 million, the new building will provide flexible and techno- logically-advanced classrooms, lecture halls, faculty offices and public spaces to support the widest range of pedagogies and learning styles—for today and tomorrow. Designed as the new focal point of cam- pus, the building will contain public spaces, classrooms and offices and will offer formal and informal learning spaces to encourage student and faculty interaction—a hallmark of the HMC experience. The modern structure is being designed


by Boora Architects as a highly sustain- able building (planned LEED Gold cer- tification, and possible LEED Platinum). The building plans meet the criteria of the President’s Climate Commitment signed by President Klawe in 2008, which requires that all new campus construction meets at least the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver standard or equivalent. Green aspects planned for the structure include an innovative “bubble deck” structural system (the first of its kind in the United States),

Nurturing the tremendous creativity of HMC faculty and students with state-of- the-art digital media and electronic music studios, an expanded Writing Center, gallery space for artistic exhibitions, and large venues for public musical, theatrical and dance performances. Serving as the new focal point of campus, the primary gateway through which to welcome visitors. Uniting the HMC community, serving as a bridge between the academic and resi- dential sides of campus, and as a vibrant gathering place and crossroads for inter- disciplinary learning of all kinds.
