Precedent Buildings & Landscapes

In response to the planning requirements and objectives and through a reading of our campus situated upon a unique site and landscape, Moriyama + Teshima Architects have proposed architectural building typologies that are more analagous to an enhanced and engaging experience of our place and unique landscape.

Indeed, the strength and significance of the original campus building University Hall demonstrates a 'planted' nature of creating architecture and producing a landform responsive building that is highly differentiating and intrinsically responding to being in place and experiencing the genus loci and destination of the Old Man River coulee formation.
