Midtown Collaboration Center

Community engagement was central to the design of the MCC. The team established a goal to create a building reflecting the community’s identity and resilience.  

Tenants on the first floor have direct outdoor access, which makes the building feel open and inviting. The building entry welcomes visitors with an ACM-faced canopy that mimics outstretched arms and a pedestrian zone activated by landscaping, tables, and chairs. 

Terra cotta was chosen as the building’s envelope to represent the district’s historic materiality. The terra cotta tile system was designed by flipping one asymmetrical panel in multiple directions to create a unique rhythm across the façade. The black curtain wall and storefront boldly accent the red-orange terra cotta.  

The MCC is a modern, dynamic facility serving the community while uplifting its spirit.
