The five-floor, 82,437-square-foot center integrates several disciplines from the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. It supports the state’s food and agriculture industry by providing a modern research venue for faculty and students in the Institute of Biological Chemistry, WSU’s Molecular Plant Science Program and portions of the Departments of Horticulture, Plant Pathology, and Crop and Soil Sciences. A two-floor cantilever faces west towards Martin Stadium. A new landscaped approach creates a public space for the university. A four-floor staircase encourages vertical circulation and provides visual connections between floors. At every level, centralized social spaces link circulation elements with the central spine.
