UW Michael G. Foster School of Business Paccar Hall
This five-story, university business school also included the renovation of an existing two-story, below-grade library, with both designs intended to seamlessly tie into a future adjacent building. The facility features 15 tiered lecture halls, a 250-seat auditorium, teaching labs, offices, commons areas, a rooftop terrace, and a three-story glass atrium. MKA's structural solutions utilized exposed structural steel for many interior columns, floor framing systems, and stairs in the new building, which provide a striking architectural interior. The project was certified LEED Gold.
