In its site and design approach, the New Science Complex represents an opportunity to reinforce and complete the order of the existing Loyola campus. It will redefine and create new urban spaces, campus edges, and campus gateways linking and anchoring the project to its site, to the campus, and to the surrounding urban geography. As suggested in the Campus Master Plan, the new Science Complex is developed in an "L" shape of the western edge of the campus. The project integrates the Bryan Building and at once defines the western quadrangle, the western edge of the campus along West-Broadway, and the northern edge of the site along Loyola's main private east-west campus access road.
The design of this project defines and synthesizes the main constituent programmatic components and contextual campus materials into a new complex whole rendered in relation to the architectural order and scale of the existing buildings and urban spaces on the campus. Given the large area and the volume of the building program on the site and in relation to the existing buildings of the campus, the scale of the project has been mitigated by the breaking down and expression of its component programmatic parts in the massing approach.
