The aim of the facility is to foster collaboration, research and teaching intrinsic to this new academic
discipline.

Caltech is a legacy campus with early 20th Century Mediterranean style buildings by Bertram Goodhue
and Gordon Kaufman. The campus has a rich landscape which changes from formal arrangements of
olive trees on one side to a more natural landscape of sycamores and eucalyptus around the Center’s
site. The Annenberg Center is sited at one end of a major campus pedestrian walkway. The campus
Master Plan and the nature of the IST initiative called for a contemporary building. We developed a
simple glass structure that met the surrounding frontages and height limit. A variety of green and clear
glass blends with and reflects the surrounding landscape. Entrances are placed to engage both formal
and informal campus circulation. Grand external stairways recall the Mediterranean prototypes on
campus while providing for casual encounters and engaging the campus and building users.
