Description:

The Kam L. Liu Building of the Chinese American Service League is a titanium-clad box that houses numerous community activities, including day care, recreation, classrooms, and services for recent immigrants. A west-facing sunscreen is the exterior's most notable element, set in front of a double-height glass wall.

The limited-access interior is simple and economical, featuring punches of color to enliven the predominantly white-painted surfaces.
