Kennedy & Violich Architecture integrated CNC cut Wool Design Felt panels in color 200 Natur into the Science & Research Wing in the central circulation spine. This space provides for multiple functions, including a major circulation stair, a gallery for exhibited projects and collaborative seating areas for informal study. The felt panels are suspended from a cable system and help to satisfy the diverse acoustic needs of the space. The computer-generated patterning (this IS the science wing, after all) is rendered in 5mm Wool Design Felt panels and provided with pre-cut holes for easy installation.
