Engineering Collaborative Research & Education Building at Penn State University / Payette
"The ECoRE Building is a 280,000 SF engineering research and teaching engine at the heart of a new engineering precinct, across the Atherton Street divide, and located at the west terminus of the main campus axis. Funneling activity and flow, the building's formal gesture invites pedestrian connections and pedagogical collaborations between the main campus and the new precinct."

The ECoRE Building is a 280,000 SF engineering research and teaching facility positioned at the west terminus of the main campus axis, across the Atherton Street divide from a new engineering precinct. The building functions as an engine for research and instruction and channels activity and circulation between the two zones. Its formal gesture funnels movement, organizing circulation to encourage pedestrian connections. Programmatic and spatial design intentionally promote pedagogical collaborations by linking campus life and the new precinct through clear routes and shared thresholds. The design emphasis on flow and connectivity supports interdisciplinary engagement and campus integration.
