Project Info:
Placed in the Warehouse District of a historic urban area, the new headquarters and robotics lab building for the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition embodies both familiar and new imagery. Traditional materials, such as brick, concrete, glass, and steel was used to form an industrial frame, like Pensacola’s waterfront warehouse structures. Large interior spaces, some two stories high, are expressed within the fenestration and the brick arcade. The roof top terrace is shaded by a large canopy that connects to grade by a series of tall columns protecting the three story glass lobby, exhibit gallery, and board room.
