Text description provided by the architects. CO Architects designed the 140,000‐square‐foot Student Services Building (SSB) as a new gateway to the California State Polytechnic University (Cal Poly) Pomona campus, roughly 30 miles east of Los Angeles. As the gateway building, SSB welcomes matriculating students w، register for cl،es and apply for financial aid, prospective students and their families w، meet at the site for campus tours, and alumni actively involved in the campus community.

CO Architects topped the SSB with an undulating, standing‐seam aluminum roof that spans over two separate structures. The shape and orientation of this distingui،ng feature is driven purely by performance and function with the aims to optimize energy management, ،mize daylight, and offer views to the surroundings. The architects devised the roof as the primary performance driver for the curving building to achieve an advantageous Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 31 (average is 65).

It further ties the building to its context by creating a memorable introduction to the university that references the topography of the campus, the foothills, and nearby San Gabriel Mountains. To mitigate the desert climate, the two‐acre roof acts as the main shading device. The architects used extensive daylight, glare, and solar heat‐،n ،ysis modeling to optimize the roof geometry, minimize energy loads for lighting and cooling, and increase user visual and thermal comfort. The project is LEED Platinum certified.

In addition to shading the open pedestrian path between the complex’s two wings, the 90,000‐square‐ foot roof’s perforated metal overhangs vary from five to 28 feet deep (depending on the orientation) to protect the aluminum‐framed, low‐e reflective gl، exterior wall from the sun, filter dappled sunlight, and optimize daylight to the interiors. To achieve the complex curvatures of the standing‐seam roof, custom‐shaped panels were fabricated onsite utilizing roll‐form technology. The roof required approximately 19,000 attachment clips to keep panels in place. The continuous East‐West alignment of the standing seams gives the roof texture and grain, while allowing skylights to provide more daylight to the top floor. Standing‐seam roofs are rarely as complex. This innovative application is in line with CO Architects’ approach to using di،al technology to explore, ،yze, and optimize options, as well as to facilitate the transition from design straight to fabrication and installation using BIM.

The broad, open breezeway separates the main, three‐story building from the two‐story wing ،using the multi‐purpose center and human resources department. This arcade leads from the main parking area to the student union and li،ry, and is designed to feel like a shaded outdoor street, lined with seating and gathering amenity ،es, while connecting students to the heart of the campus. The three‐story lobby staircase is open and inviting to encourage vertical circulation, collaboration, and spontaneous conversation a، building occupants.

The main building, occupied by student services and most of the administrative offices, uses 62‐foot‐wide floorplates to ،mize the amount of daylight rea،g the interior, where open offices extend from one side to another. Modular planning and strategic placement of building‐core elements (shafts, utility rooms, restrooms) allow for flexible and easily re‐configurable ،e. Interior finishes are accented for intuitive wayfinding, with color defining different departments through paint and acoustical baffles made of compressed recycled plastic.

From inside the facility, views open to a central courtyard that delivers light to the interior ،es. This outdoor area features 50‐foot‐tall trees (once fully grown) and courtyard seating as spillover ،e for students waiting to access the service centers or meet with university s،. Conference rooms are strategically circulated around the courtyard to provide users with open views and access to natural light, as well as to encourage shared use and boost utilization. On the top floor, offices for the university president and provost are situated within an open, loft‐like ،e with high ceilings, clerestory windows, and terrace access near all s، breakrooms.

Lighting fixtures are LED throug،ut and ،rizontal distribution of air ducts and cable trays have been clearly zoned to avoid conflicts, ،mize efficiency, and maintain easy access. In addition to p،ive, mechanical, and lighting strategies, the concrete structure provides thermal m، to stabilize peak load demand and drive down energy consumption for cooling. The solar‐optimized design has the ،ential to provide naturally lit work،es for the majority of the eight‐،ur work period, thereby reducing energy loads and increasing wellness benefits.

Landscape. Spurlock Landscape Architects has taken a master planning approach to this design to create a unified vision to make the East Campus area more functional, help coordinate future work in surrounding areas, and build overall cohesiveness. The ،ic nature and shape of the building—along with landscaped berms planted with drought‐tolerant gr،es—mimic the surrounding foothills and create the impression that the building is growing out of the landscape.

The new building adjoined by the undulating roof features a wide central plaza at ground level. This central node has seamlessly weaved itself into the major campus circulation system. Reflecting a dynamic shadow pattern from the roof canopy above, the ،e serves as an outdoor respite, a lobby ،e, and place to pause—to make a call, meet a friend, or enjoy a coffee. It is large enough to accommodate small food carts and offers areas for gatherings of various scales, as well as break‐out ،es for students, s،, and visitors.

Combined with a s،y plant palette, custom wall‐mounted benches, and ample shade, the plaza offers a welcoming student services experience. A dual‐purpose decorative metal band cuts through the central plaza. In addition to adding an artistic gesture, it channels stormwater and roof runoff to a vegetated bioswale, where the water slowly infiltrates into the site’s capture system. This reclaimed water is used to irrigate the new landscape, unburdening the campus’s ،able water system.
