New Gateway Building

Known as the “front door” to the Stanford Shopping center, the New Gateway Building uses material to convey elegance, quality and permanence.

Concrete masonry is a major element used as both a structural system and exterior finish, demonstrating CMU’s versatility in construction. Concrete block was used for the exterior finish while delivering a project within budget. Special modules of smooth face concrete masonry units were custom colored, recalling the buff colored stone and masonry used to build the nearby Standford University Campus.
