To blend in with the primarily Georgian Revival architecture of Regis College, Sasaki, Dawson & DeMay Associates combined traditional brick materials with modern forms. The most iconic facade of the building is a series of massive triangular shafts which play two roles by both housing the complex mechanical equipment runs necessary in a modern science building and acting as sun baffles for the large northeast facing windows. The southern facade uses the steep grade change to create a more human scale which mimics the rest of the small campus. The stark triangular facade is brought down in scale to manage sunlight in the smaller office spaces. A glass entryway splits the old building from the new, allowing the original building to maintain its traditional rectangular design while the brick and concrete draws the buildings together in view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
