SPS+ Architects was tasked with completing the Western Maricopa Education Center Northwest Campus in Surprise, Arizona.
Our concept juxtaposes, rather than clusters, disciplines to promote collaboration and innovation among students, faculty and professional staff. West-MEC was looking for a space that both its students and the community could enjoy. The dynamic learning labs and presentation rooms, informal break-out spaces and connected indoor and outdoor spaces make each element of the sustainable designed facility an educational environment.
