TIMELINE

RENDERINGS

The site plan for DDB and BEB shows the connectivity of the two buildings at the first floor level. The shared loading dock is just north of the glass two-story connecting link. DDB's 300-seat auditorium is shaded in blue. The yellow area represents circulation space adjacent to the auditorium and connects to BEB's circulation space, 150-seat auditorium and smaller conference spaces. Large green spaces to the south of DDB are shown. Eventually, the remainder of G-lot will be developed into the north garden.
