The Fisk University Allied Science Building embodies the university’s vision by creating a state-of-the-art, vibrant, and comfortable space for students to engage and learn while complementing the historical character of the existing campus. The project aims to provide a healthy gathering and learning center, featuring a coffee shop and an atrium for students. Drawing inspiration from nearby historical structures in terms of scale, mass, form, and approach, the design clearly looks toward the future while honoring the past. The building conveys the sense of a cutting-edge science education facility while embracing Fisk's rich architectural heritage. By incorporating red brick that harmonizes with other campus buildings and combining it with a contemporary architectural form, the science building creates a unique, modern design that fits seamlessly within the campus vernacular.
