Washington State University’s Everett outpost has come a long way since it began offering classes on the campus of Everett Community College in 2012: Last year it opened its very own University Center, a 95,000-square-foot state-of-the-art building that greatly expands STEM education opportunities in the North Puget Sound region—and boasts an ultra-green design by SRG Partnership.
The center’s sustainable attributes are both hidden and in plain sight. On approach to the building, for instance, visitors can spot a large photovoltaic array that projects 10 feet from the façade. “We chose to celebrate WSU’s energy efficiency measures and integrate them into the architecture as a modern interpretation of a traditional cornice,” explains Tim Richey, a senior associate at SRG Partnership.
