Joseph J. and Violet J. Jacobs Hall Academic and Athletic Facility
New York, USA
Polytechnic University, one of the leading engineering schools in the United States, commissioned Davis Brody Bond Aedas to formulate a master plan for the campus’s future growth. The goals of the master plan were to provide a strategy for expanding and modernizing the school’s existing academic facilities, as well as to introduce residential and student life facilities that had not existed at this primarily commuter school.
Following the Master Plan, Davis Brody Bond Aedas was commissioned to design the Joseph J. and Violet J. Jacobs Building, a mixed-use building that contains six academic floors and a recreation/gymnasium complex. The academic areas include two lecture halls, several multipurpose seminar rooms, engineering and computer labs as well as wet-labs for the chemistry and biology departments.
The materials used in the design of Jacobs Building unite the structure with Othmer Residence Hall as well as the Dibner Library which were designed by Davis Brody Bond Aedas in 2002 and 1992 respectively. A glass curtain wall, precast concrete and metal panels are all part of a consistent design vocabulary intended to create the sense of a cohesive campus.
