Project Overview
The rectangular 17,000-square-metre building has a central light well that is crossed by sky bridges, and is externally clad in glass and metal fins. Topped with a vast flat roof, the minimalist, singlestorey pavilion is approachable from all sides and is designed to be highly flexible. Its steel and glass envelope has a series of tall pivot doors, which can open and retract depending upon the number of occupants in the pavilion. The pavilion’s structural grid lines take cues from surrounding buildings on campus. The glazed enclosure benefits from a large pergola, which “tames Monterrey’s direct sun impact and filters daylighting all around it”. The project has the Gold LEED certificate and won the Library Interior Design Award in 2018.
