The program integrates classrooms, wet and dry laboratories, research studios, and faculty research offices, supporting a wide range of learning and discovery activities. At the heart of the complex, a central atrium serves as a vibrant hub, providing pre-function space for adjacent primary lecture halls and meeting rooms, encouraging interaction and knowledge exchange. The northeast corner is defined by an iconic eight-story Icon building that announces the campus entry, framing linked courtyards and offering spaces for exhibitions, small gatherings, and informal study. Serving as both a research powerhouse and a social hub, the College is positioned to advance innovation in material science while offering an inspiring environment for students and faculty alike.
