哥伦比亚大学在艺术和科技邻域是世界上最有声望的大学之一，这个外加的建筑物大大增加了哥伦比亚大学在科学研究方面多元科际研究法的能力。这栋大楼位于哥伦比亚大学历史上著名的Morningside Heights校园的西北角上，Morningside Heights校园由 McKim, Mead和White于1897年设计建造。大楼增加了4500平方米的实验室空间和2000平方米的教室、办公室和学习空间。大楼还包括1300平方米的学术图书馆、一个170座的礼堂、一个公共咖啡厅和一个进入学校篮球、排球体育馆的入口。

大楼是在以前的Francis S. Levien体育馆的建筑物上修建的，大楼的场址提出了一个重大的结构上的挑战，新建筑物必须跨过125英尺宽的设施，同时也要为实验室留下宽阔的开放楼面，所以楼面的结构板的稳定性要足够大，以正常使用显微镜和其他对振动敏感的设备。这个结构上的设计成为项目工程最引人注目的地方。通过外墙对与建筑结构构架并行的铝翅片的使用，呈现出了建筑物的结构构架。

With the addition of this building, Columbia University, one of the world’s most prestigious institutions for arts and sciences, greatly expands its capabilities in an interdisciplinary approach to scientific research. The building is located on the Northwest corner of the University’s historic Morningside Heights Campus designed by McKim, Mead and White in 1897. It adds approximately 4.500 m2 of laboratory space and 2.000 m2 of classroom, office and study space. It also includes a 1.300 m2 research library, a 170-seat auditorium, a public cafe and a new entrance to the University’s Basketball and Volleyball Gymnasium.

Constructed above the existing Francis S. Levien Gymnasium, the site conditions posed a significant structural challenge requiring that the new building span over the 125 foot wide facility, while maintaining large open floors for laboratories, whose structural slabs needed to be stiff enough for the use of microscopes and other vibration-sensitive equipment.This structural feat became the defining gesture of the project. By representing the structural frame on the building facade through the application of aluminum fins oriented in parallel to the frame elements.
