We arrived at Pierce College's Lakewood campus on a typical late December day - pretty much overcast. When we entered one of the building's two winter gardens, the tiny bit of sun exploded to shower us with light.

The four levels of this state-of-the-art science & technology complex are organized around the winter gardens where, due to the site's steep grade, no more than three levels are stacked in any one spot.

Abby reviews a freestanding directory featuring building maps in both plan and section views.

Floor level entries off the winter gardens are color-coded to help with wayfinding. Opsis Architecture designed the building.
