"A flexible lecture hall creates a gateway to the campus"

This lozenge-shaped building creates a gateway and focal point for the university campus. Extremely compact and flexible, the building houses a 1,000-seat theatre divisible into two 500-seat lecture halls, or retracts to host an exhibition. Flexibility does not mean anonymity - the building is carefully sited, and connected by an axial route and stairway with a grand portico framing a vista to a beautiful lake.
