Vance Brown Builders constructed this new 32,000 square foot, three-story economic research building that houses faculty, staff and visiting scholars, including offices, support spaces and a 175-person conference center for the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. The building's distinctive design features two juxtaposed wings that look into a planted courtyard, with detailing and materials that reference the Romanesque architecture of Stanford's original Inner Quad.
Vance Brown's construction included sophisticated materials such as Minnesota limestone accents, Hopes steel-sash windows set within stucco walls, traditional Gladding McBean red-tile roofs, and interior finishes featuring native western softwood doors and paneling with red travertine surfaces. The project required complex coordination for features like the three-story circular stair lobby and the ground-floor Koret Taube Conference Center, demonstrating Vance Brown's expertise in institutional construction at Stanford University.
