UCLA Anderson School of Management
Responding to a rich context and multifaceted institution with diverse programmatic needs, the building is the second largest at UCLA, occupying one of the most important sites on campus.
- Education & Campus
In plan the complex resembles a four-leaf clover, reflecting its pivotal role as a campus crossroads. At the center, an inviting outdoor plaza serves as a public circulation hub. The five-story building consists of seven components, distinct from one another but linked on several levels so they function internally as an integrated whole. Outdoor terraces on four levels make the most of the sloped site and connect UCLA’s upper and lower compounds. A bucolic creek, multilevel garage, and key campus walkway border the site.
