University of Missouri School of DesignSenior Thesis-Megan Auer

Concept:The new design school for the University of Missouri will demonstrate academic design that ultimately reflects the people using it. It will repre-sent a design school while also reflecting upon the campus by respond-ing to its function and location. The concept of the school of design revolves around intertwining the linearity of the site with the focus of Memorial Union which reflects in the shape of the building. It involves a section of the building that essentially climbs over the administrative wing of the building while taking full ad-vantage of natural light to benefit the student work being created inside. The various heights of the new school of design respect the verticality of Memorial Union while still making a statement. The atrium of the building ties all of the elements together and adjoins the two wings of the building. The design school fundamentally creates a landmark for the campus.
