The terraces are used as outdoor studios and workshops, impromptu exhibition spaces and lounges, promoting creative collaboration among students and faculty. The center has become a lively work of functional art, enhancing the campus and promising long-term benefits for the entire university community. / The design of the new Contemporary Arts Center at the University of California, Irvine was a challenge in many ways. The center provides space for a range of purposes: instruction, research, performance, production support and office space. It also serves several art forms, each of which has its own requirements, all in a tightly constrained space. And during the request for proposal (RFP) phase, the university requested that the building be as sustainable as possible, sending the designbuilder back to the drawing board. Reducing the center's carbon footprint required the design-build team to consider which departments' needs could be met in innovative ways. Some spaces-the theater, gallery and sound design lab among them-do actually require climate and noise controls. Others, such as offices, studios and corridors, are less demanding in that respect. The design-builder met the challenge by organizing these spaces by their actual requirements. Those that did require the energy-intensive controls are set in the interior section of the building. Those that did not, and might benefit from access to natural light and ventilation, are around the exterior of the building. Corridors serve as buffer zones, separating the two. On the top floor, artists' studios and terraces provide true indoor-outdoor spaces, taking advantage of both the views and the Southern California Owner: University of California, Irvine Design-Builder and General Contractor: Edge Construction, LLC Architects: Ehrlich Architects LRM Landscape Architecture Engineers: John A.
