CONCEPT
Nature-inspired study spaces
As the central focus of University Town (UT), the Education Resource Centre (ERC) is situated on a high point where design seamlessly knits the different terrains and boundaries of
other parcels.
As a primary activity generator for the UT campus, the ERC is surrounded by study spaces, e-Café, lecture theatres, and computer labs. At ground level, the landscape integrates the lower plaza of the e-Café into the green embrace of grass terraces, stepping down to the Town Green, in one grand sinuous sweep.
The ERC has extensive green roofs, accentuating an organic yet geometric flow of green platforms slipping and sliding into each other, surrounding the central void from which existing and new trees emerge as a connection to the site.
