This seven-story building, constructed into a steep hill, anchors a prominent site on the hilltop campus. The building is physically connected to the adjacent building to facilitate student migration to a large lecture hall and to support health professions spaces. Ayers Saint Gross developed the program, plans, and specifications for the building, which houses the College of Optometry and the School of Nursing.
