Since1992,newbuildingshavebeendesignedtoachievethesefivebroadgoals:
1.Newbuildingsmust“createaplace,”ratherthanconstitutestand-alonestructures,formingsocial,aesthetic,contextually-sensitiverelationshipswithneighboringbuildingsandthelargercampus.
2.Newbuildingsreinforceaconsistentdesignframeworkofclassicalcontextualarchitecture,appliedinwaysthatconveyafeelingofpermanenceandqualityandinterpretedinwaysthatmeetthecontemporaryandchangingneedsofamodernresearchuniversity.
3.Newbuildingsemploymaterials,systems,anddesignfeaturesthatwillavoidtheexpenseofmajormaintenance(definedas>

4.Newbuildingsapply“sustainability”principles--notably,outperformingTitle24(California’senergycode)byatleast20percent.
5.Capitalconstructionprojectsaredesignedanddeliveredwithinthe
