Located on the Stanford University campus, this facility, with its beautifully landscaped environment, houses visiting professors researching at the nuclear accelerator on a short-term basis. The building consists of rental suites that are equipped with workstations, conference rooms, administrative offices, and social gathering areas.

The structure was purposely recessed in the natural terrain so as not to interfere with the already existing views of nature visible from Sand Hill Road, which is the main street connecting the highway and Palo Alto. This design/build project was completed with cooperation between Stanford staff, the architects, engineers, and contractors to create a low cost construction.
