Ceramics have the unique ability to be exposed to natural sunlight, therefore the north 8 feet of this 23 foot wide Ceramics Research Center is made entirely of glass to let filtered light down through each floor. Additionally, the terraced form of this building allows for three outdoor patios which provide views down to Mill Avenue and out to “A” Mountain. Finally, the banner on the facade can be removed and the structure on the front allows for collaboration between the Research Center and local artists to display artwork on the facade.
