Repurposing an existing mixed-use building enabled Antioch University to create a new urban campus in Santa Barbara. This 3-story, 40,000 sf
educational complex has a variety of shared spaces and public common area designed to foster a sense of community for students and faculty.
The ground floor level provides many opportunities for work spaces as well as gathering places for social interaction. The second level is an open
plan library the will be the central focus for educational activity. Translucent walls enclose offices areas for student services located under the
mezzanine, incorporating graphics and information media designed to animate “Mainstreet”.
