"Designed to create an iconic entry to the college, this building houses the institution's Center for Nursing and a 20,000-square-foot library. Among the building's sustainable elements are vegetated swales to capture storm water and let it percolate down to the water table; masonry walls designed to collect solar energy; and overhangs that shield the building from direct summer sunlight while allowing winter sunlight to enter.
