Project Details

The design of this 13,250-square-foot building is meant to reflect the school’s history as a technical school and its more recent accreditation as a community college. As one moves around the building, its nature changes. Formal classical proportions speak to the school’s academic programs; metal-clad walls and the steel canopy speak to its technical programs. The architecture is about shifting perspectives and merging old with new.
