SMP Architects collaborated with the Academy of Notre Dame to create a new Center for STEM Education in support of the school’s institutional mission and curriculum goals. The design sensitively responds to the traditional architecture of the historic campus while introducing a forward-looking facility that embraces 21st century science education. This vision strikes a creative balance between a focus on Notre Dame’s future, through contemporary active learning lab classrooms and team collaboration breakout spaces, and a strong respect for its past, in the contextual massing and materials. Anchoring the southern edge of campus to define a new academic quad, the facility is the cornerstone project in the realization of a new master plan. n
