A double height lobby and generous waterfront terrace give the building a graciousness which contrasts with the Spartan character of earlier campus buildings. Elevated a full level, and consciously reaching toward the water despite its orientaon, the building is also the most specifically responsive to the site. A cafeteria and bar open to the waterfront deck, and as the only intenonally designed common spaces on campus, remain its social core (figure 16). The last major structure mirrored Doherty, framing the east edge of campus along the Rickenbacker Causeway. The Science Lab and Administraon Building (SLAB) building was completed in 1985 and now houses the library, administraon offices, dry lab and office space. Designed by New York architects Abramovits-Harris-Kingsland, the building was the result of a comprehensive 1979 master plan completed by the same firm. They also designed a north wing which was added to Doherty in 1980 to house CIMAS (Cooperave Instute for Marine & Atmospheric Science). 16. Doherty, Commons space, Yehle 14 15.

This system has not held up well under the climac condions of the site (Ray pers com). 19. Administraon Building Model, Abramovitz 20. Administraon Building construcon, Yehle 18.
