The facility site was chosen for its symbolic relationship to both the business community and the university. The school's public face on Sunset Boulevard represents its connection to the business community; its academic face toward the core of the UCLA campus acknowledges its commitment to the advancement of knowledge. The lush surrounding greenery, carefully preserved, provides quiet outdoor areas for study and relaxation.

Exterior - The complex was designed in the Romanesque style of central Italy associated with UCLA's traditional buildings. Its brick facade was inspired by that of neighboring Royce Hall, one of the four original UCLA structures and a campus landmark.

A system of seven buildings, all interconnected with a series of pathways and bridges, the new UCLA Anderson "academic village" was patterned after an Italian hillside community to take advantage of the nearly 40-foot difference in elevation between the southern and northern ends of the complex.

The buildings surround and open onto the Marion Anderson Courtyard, at the center of which resides an exquisite coral tree preserved from the original site. Several outdoor terraces grace the exterior of the buildings, many of which are accessible from public spaces such as lounges, conference rooms, or dining spaces.

Interior - The interior of the buildings has been designed in open landscape style to take advantage of natural light from the skylights and atria. Sweeping staircases wrap around glass-enclosed elevators, enhancing the sense of openness provided by the atria. Landscape areas are organized into suites to provide individual identity.

Interior areas are joined by a series of bridges that connect the buildings at various levels. Common spaces have been provided in the form of conference rooms, special event areas, and lounges to encourage interaction across disciplines and functional lines and support the community intent of the basic building design.
