Positioned at the center of the Stanford University campus adjacent to the schools of Engineering, Humanities, and Sciences, the new Computing and Data Science (CoDa) building is a nexus for groundbreaking computational and data science research. The 167,000-square-foot building is a vibrant incubator for cross-disciplinary innovation, with student-focused and event spaces on the lower levels, and research-focused neighborhoods organized around collaborative team areas on the upper floors. At the core of the building is the “Hive,” a central mixing chamber that offers flexible, open community and work areas surrounded by meeting spaces and conference rooms encircling a cross-directional feature stair. Supporting collaboration in multiple forms, the building offers a new launchpad for applying data science and computation across disciplines to address today’s most urgent challenges.
