Saunders Building (1974)

Architects: Peterson & Lester

The Saunders Building consists of a one-storey shop and storage building for the campus planning and maintenance departments. The wood-frame design is minimalist and contemporary but the use of cedar and native planting provides an indigenous West Coast connection. In 1979 Peterson and Lester followed the same design formula in plans provided for a second set of nearby utility buildings to temporarily house the Visual Arts Department.
