学院教学楼的重点是主要的学生大厅/中庭。这种动态空间被设想为规划空间的中心组织元素，并提供学生和教师空间之间的象征性联系。该设计允许非正式的师生会议空间与中央中庭相连，同时也保留了一些讨论和学习的隐私。这一中心会议空间是为了加强合作学习环境，这是大学的目标。

The focal point of the Academic Classroom Building is the main student lobby/atrium. This dynamic space is envisioned to be the central organizing element of the programmatic spaces and to provide the symbolic link between the student and faculty spaces. The design allows for informal student-faculty meeting spaces to be connected with the central atrium while still retaining some privacy for discussion and study. This central meeting space is to reinforce the collaborative learning environment which is the goal of the University.
