Project: School Design

The Turn School is a 48,000-sq-ft mass structure that will be home to Missouri’s next aerospace engineering school, located in downtown Columbia, Missouri. Its unique figure integrates functionality and innovation to foster a dynamic learning environment. The design features a mass turn that creates an evolution of both form and experience. The cantilever effect produces ascending terraces offering individual outdoor experiences. Gradually opening its views to the sight, a dynamic window system encourages travel through the structure to connect collaborative spaces and classrooms to the natural surroundings.
