Glendale Community College’s new Science Center isn’t just a science building—it’s a portal to educational opportunity for students, a living reflection of interdisciplinary curiosity, and a climate-conscious landmark reconnecting a campus with its community. It models how Design for Good can elevate everyday education into an engine of equity, wellness, and resilience. The new Buena Vista science building answers the growing demand for STEM education with 25 labs, a 127-seat lecture hall, collaboration zones, and dedicated student support spaces throughout, reflecting the college’s commitment to inclusive, hands-on learning. The building’s design, inspired by the film Powers of Ten, embraces continuity across scientific disciplines and promotes nonlinear, curiosity-driven learning pathways—as an alternative to isolated academic silos. Formal classrooms and lab spaces support structured learning, while collaboration zones and informal gathering spaces create areas for interdisciplinary overlap and organic discovery.
