Universidad Del Istmo Phase 1 Implementation
The first phase of implementation for Sasaki’s design of Universidad del Istmo aims at consolidating the school’s operation—presently dispersed throughout Guatemala City—into a new campus setting in the rural area of Santa Isabel in Fraijanes. The campus will accommodate 1,600 students belonging to nine established faculties by 2013, and will set the basis for the long-term development of the institution that anticipates a steady growth in student enrollment over the next 25 years. The design develops a flexible program and phasing strategy that allows the campus to grow in an organic manner, matching building and space resources with progressive enrollment. The design also provides for a campus environment jumpstarts a new pedagogical model for the school. Finally, the design sets forth an integrated building site complex as a model for the restoration and sustainable redevelopment of the agricultural landscape characteristic of this region of Guatemala.
