Gates Hall at Cornell

Gates Hall is a new computer science building for students of Cornell in Ithaca, New York.  Designed by Morphosis Architects, the building features Zahner custom systems for the soffit, interior entry foyer, and exterior facade.  The building, named for Bill & Melinda Gates, is a dedicated building for Cornell University's Computing and Information Science (CIS) program. The project's facade is designed using generative processes developed by Morphosis. Its unique appearance also serves the building's environment performance, reducing heat gain while providing natural light into the offices and classrooms.
