CLA Building, Futurist building at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, United States.
The CLA Building is a futurist structure at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona with distinctive triangular forms that organize its layout. It houses classrooms, laboratories, and administrative offices alongside outdoor courtyards, rooftop gardens, pedestrian bridges, and pathways connecting campus areas.
Architect Antoine Predock designed the building in 1993 as a response to growing demand for modern learning spaces at the university. The project represented a significant step in updating the campus infrastructure.
The building encourages casual meetings between students and faculty through its network of connecting pathways and open gathering spaces. Different functional areas are arranged to bring people together in everyday interactions.
The building sits beneath the LAX flight path, so aircraft overhead are occasionally audible during the day. The connected pedestrian pathways allow visitors to navigate the structure easily and reach different sections without confusion.
The three vertices of the triangular form align precisely with distinctive landscape features, a deliberate design choice that connects the building to its surroundings. This alignment creates a subtle relationship between the structure and the terrain around the campus.
