This auditorium at The Pearl Innovation District is defined by warm light and layered, organically curving wood panels. The overlapping wood elements in this space not only create a calming, comfortable atmosphere, but also subtly direct the audience's attention to the stage, encouraging engagement and focus.

CO designed the East Building to support the @salkinstitute, which consistently ranks among the leading research institutions in the world. In 1995, as a part of architect Louis Kahn's master plan that defines the relationship between the existing and future campus buildings, the East Building created a new public face and entry to the campus while expanding the cutting-edge research and gathering spaces.

@cityofhope Hope Plaza offers a holistic experience for patients, their families and staff from the moment they enter the campus. Drawing on biophilic principles, the design integrates water, nature and art to create a welcoming and restorative environment.

The Pearl Innovation District's Levine Center for Education is filled with inviting spaces for students to connect, unwind and study. This lounge area outside of one of the main learning studios is designed as a place to linger before or after class. Using furniture primarily sourced in North Carolina, the interiors are both modern and rooted in tradition, with pieces like high-back spindle chairs reminiscent of rocking chairs on a front porch.

Get a first look at the new Health Professions Education Building at @charlesrdrewu, which recently welcomed its inaugural class to the 60,000-SF facility. The L-shaped design forms a protected plaza facing the campus core and features an inviting shade garden to draw students into this new extension of the campus. Rich brown and purple-hued brick and tile facades reflect CDU's architectural identity, while the building's contemporary expression looks toward its future as the campus continues to grow and evolve. taken in Los Angeles, California by @coarchitects

Indoor-outdoor connections play an important role in creating healthy learning environments. At the @uarizona Health Sciences Innovation Building, a series of strategically placed, partially enclosed terraces provide welcoming spaces for students, faculty and staff to enjoy fresh air, natural light and moments of respite in a more temperate outdoor setting. by @coarchitects

Completed in 2012, the Health Sciences Education Building creates five stories of medical education and health sciences spaces for two universities – @uarizona and @nau. HSEB’s design set the standard for the area’s future buildings with its landmark architecture clad in a striking, striated copper facade inspired by Arizona's iconic slot canyons. The 245,000-SF building integrates nation-leading strategies in interdisciplinary teaching and training for team-based, immersive learning. The award-winning HSEB exemplifies CO's long-standing dedication to creating innovative spaces for medical and health sciences education.

We're excited to share a first look at the Physical Sciences Building for the @uofpenn. This transformative project will unite advanced research laboratories and theoretical research environments with dynamic teaching spaces. Designed to foster discovery, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meet the evolving demands of mathematics and the physical sciences, the building will serve as a vibrant nexus for learning, research and innovation. We are proud to bring this project to realization with our collaborative CO + @ewingcole team.

"CO's design vision prioritizes openness, daylight and connectivity to inspire the next generation of scientists. By integrating sustainable systems, biophilic elements and adaptable and flexible laboratory planning modules, the building will support frontier research while creating an inviting environment that encourages collaboration across disciplines and with the broader campus community."

Inside the forum at The Pearl Innovation District's Levine Center for Education, every detail is intentional. Seating nooks use warm wood slat framing to create a sense of enclosure, paired with soft green acoustic panels that bring calm and functionality to the space.
