Harvard University is planning to build the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in Allston, Mass. Designed by Behnisch Architekten, the six-story, 586,000-sf building will feature a central atrium rising from the basement level offering sophisticated interaction space for faculty, students, and staff. The facility will provide classrooms, open teaching spaces, conference rooms, as well as areas for exhibits, retail, and dining. Research labs for the study of materials science, robotics, and nanoengineering will be located on the upper floors. The sustainably designed project will include an exterior skin with solar shading and a water recycling system. Completion is expected in spring of 2021.
