Called the Science and Environment Center, the structure is an expansion of the New School campus in Hillsborough, Silicon Valley. The campus comprises a two-storey building of 1,077 square meters on a 33-acre land and the building has a semi-circular shape that allows the eight classrooms to be exposed to light from two sides. With the inclusion of ceiling fans, this shape allowed mechanical heating and cooling to be largely eliminated from the project, according to the study.
