The Cooper Union New Academic Building

Location: New York, NY
Architect: Morphosis

Illuminating this new $120 million, nine-story, "vertical campus" for the prestigious Cooper Union was a rewarding challenge. Designed as a highly sustainable building, the 175,000 GSF structure which houses the schools of engineering, art and sciences has achieved LEED Platinum certification.  The architecture by Morphosis is a powerful expression of art and engineering through dynamic forms that create spaces for human interaction at numerous scales, and within this framework rests a diagram of classrooms, offices, and laboratories. Lighting responds directly in both sculptural and pragmatic ways.
