landLAB collaborated with Safdie Rabines Architects on the new South Campus Student Center located in the historic Court of Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles. The new facility will be constructed into the existing sloped portion of the court, allowing the roof structure above the interior dining area to act as a garden roof terrace and look out, with a vegetated green roof over the kitchens. The lower dining terraces are sunken from the surrounding walkways and existing buildings that form the Court of Sciences, creating both intimate and public spaces for students and faculty to enjoy the beautiful southern California climate. The project will be a minimum LEED silver featuring sustainable low water use native plantings, porous paving, recycled brick dining terraces, green roofs and irrigation supplemented from the chiller condensate.
