Stanford’s new Computing and Data Science Building

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.
