01. Green by Design. Concrete is not only insanely strong, it is also remarkably green. Concrete’s thermal mass properties trap heat during cold months and keep structures cooler during warmer weather. Beyond concrete’s innate energy efficient properties, the structure is also made of 20% recycled materials. 02. A Worthy Investment. Concrete structures are designed to last for centuries. This is important when building structures, such as academic buildings, that have to address the needs of the university and its students for many years. 03. Soundproof by Nature. Some of the same properties that make concrete strong (its mass and rigidity) also make it virtually soundproof. Concrete was chosen for the building’s tower containing the school’s sound studios. 04. Modern Aesthetic. The
