A 15-acre sloping site accommodates 1,380 graduate students at the dense urban campus of UCLA. Seven buildings are served by existing streets as well as a network of new streets connecting the surrounding neighborhood. Each building has its own courtyard providing distinctive outdoor space defined by the architectural elements that enclose it.<\/p>\n

Notable sustainable features incorporated into the design were, among others, the use of water-efficient plumbing fixtures, optimized energy performance exceeding California Title 24 requirements, an improved building ventilation system via open air corridors and breezeways, underground parking to minimize heat-island effects and the use of passive solar design, daylighting and natural ventilation. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
