Applied as sustainable solution

School of Data Science, University of Virginia

Set at the edge of the historic University of Virginia campus, the new School of Data Science, designed by Hopkins Architects in collaboration with VMDO, translates the ethos of a rapidly evolving field into architecture. Rather than a conventional academic building, the 61,000-square-foot structure acts as a spatial framework for transparency, ethical inquiry, and cross-disciplinary exchange.
