UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA
CAPLA EXPANSION
Expanding Space for Innovation and Collaboration
Lloyd Construction completed a major addition to the University of Arizona College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, creating expanded studio space and a centralized hub for collaboration. The addition enhances the academic environment while supporting evolving program needs.
A first-floor materials lab was designed with flexibility in mind, allowing the space to adapt as curriculum and technology advance. Constructed with structural steel framing, masonry wainscoting, and an exterior skin of glass and insulated metal panels, the building balances durability with architectural expression.
Thoughtful integration of glazed walls and outdoor connections reinforces harmony between interior and exterior environments, supporting both creativity and well-being.
Precision in a Complex Campus Environment.
Located within a tight footprint in the heart of the UA campus, the project required careful logistics planning and coordination to minimize disruption. Attention to detail was critical in executing the architectural vision and maintaining continuity with the existing structure.
In support of the broader campus experience, Lloyd also completed a garden area at no additional cost to the University — enhancing the surrounding environment while delivering a facility built to serve future generations of students and faculty.
