Featured Project
UIUC North Campus Suspercomuting Applications Building, Urbana Champaign, Illinois
UIUC NCSA Entrance Drive
UIUC NCSA Plan   UIUC NCSA Pedestrian Path
  The North Campus Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) building at the University of Illinois in Urban-Champaign is a $31 million scientific research facility near its northern campus border. The 74,000-net-square-foot facility is critically important to NCSA’s competitive position for federal supercomputing support. It consolidates staff and programs scattered in seven sites across the Urbana-Champaign campus. NCSA develops, deploys and supports cyber-infrastructure to re-engineer the research process. The facility shares a courtyard with the Siebel Center to the south, and contains both office and laboratory space. The landscape is designed to promote collegiality between the NCSA and employees of the Siebel Center.
Note: The Siebel Center Landscape was deisgned by others.
