The Oceanography and Physical Sciences Building at Old Dominion University began with a pre-planning study completed in 1989 by an association of Rancorn Wildman Architects and Perkins & Will. The building was conceived as the first phase of a three part plan to create a coherent Science Quadrangle for the Oceanography, Physics, and Geology departments. Located at the edge of the campus, the building sits in a transition zone with the athletic fields on one side and the main academic campus on the other. This location precipitated a design response which acknowledges the distinct characteristics of each side and uses this to not only determine the disposition of the program but also to determine the building's architectural expression.
