The facility is purpose-built to best serve its users, demonstrating how contemporary design can enhance the student learning experience and create connections between people, ideas, and the surrounding community.
A primary circulation spine forms a main street that spans the length of the building. This wide corridor features impromptu seating and study areas to "slow down" the student experience, encouraging social interaction and serendipitous encounters not typically part of a commuter college experience.
Inspired by its humble surroundings, the building celebrates the vernacular by making reference to the colors, textures, patterns, and materials found in its agrarian setting.
“Taking what I'm sure was a challenging budget and elevating the community college experience to this level is very impressive.”
