As the first building designed under Loyola Marymount University’s (LMU) Campus Master Plan, the Life Sciences Building sets the pace for modern, sustainable design at the university. Located on bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, LMU is the largest Jesuit Catholic university for undergraduates on the West Coast.
The project integrated three primary objectives—“interdisciplinary collaboration,” “science on display,” and “sustainability,” according to CO Architects, Los Angeles. The CO Architects team designed a building that not only acts as a daily teaching tool but establishes a new architectural standard for the campus.
