SCHOOL TOURS
Cal Poly Tour
3) Student Services Building
With its undulating roof and curving form, the Student Services Building makes a powerful visual statement, establishes a new landmark on the campus and in the region, and brands itself as the very symbol of the university and its long history in agriculture, science and technology. Striking in design, it marks a place of arrival and orientation for students, staff, alumni and visitors. The design draws its inspiration from the Southern California mountains and foothills that are articulated in the building’s shape and
the form of its standing-seam aluminum roof, uniting it with the landscape and demonstrating a commitment to sustainable operations and practices in a dramatic way.
The tour will take attendees around the site to explain the project’s contextual role as a new landmark on campus and how overall building design developed. It will then enter the building to experience the new student service centers, approach to circulation, daylight, views and collaborative workspace. Along the way, the various sustainable strategies implemented to reduce energy and water use and support occupant wellness and productivity will be shown.
4) Student Housing
Student success is interwoven with one’s ability to engage on campus. Student housing plays a pivotal role in this desired outcome. On this tour, participants will experience layered social spaces designed to promote engagement and socialization. We will walk through the planning, design and execution of two new mid-rise housing buildings and a new dining commons at the newly transformed front door to Cal Poly Pomona’s campus.
