The distinctive stone cylindrical form, located at the end of the axis of Planetarium Place, really is a planetarium. Relocated from an earlier site on campus, the highly visible planetarium serves to attract students with other majors into the physics program and works as a community outreach destination. The long, rectangular building extending to the east of the drum contains shared spaces for physics and chemistry, another effort to foster interdisciplinary interaction. The university’s signature tawny brick forms pilasters and spandrels, with window walls of compound mullions stacked vertically to counter the long plan. On a campus lacking traditional quadrangles, the building provides a varied, articulated street front. Notable nearby buildings include the College of Business (1977, Albert S. Komatsu and Associates) at 701 S. West Street and the dramatic, triangular-planned Pickard Hall (1982) at 441 S. Nedderman Drive. Forming a twenty-first-century gateway to the campus from the north is the Engineering Research Building (2010, PageSoutherlandPage; 500 UTA Boulevard). Befitting the university’s Texan location, big is the prevailing architectural trend.
