This project represents a first step in the expansion of the Community College campus. Conveniently sited off of the main entry, this location allows the campus to present a new public face to the community. With this in mind, the campus was determined to provide an architectural statement that would demonstrate to the campus population and surrounding community that this is a sustainable and progressive learning environment.
The program of an 800-car parking structure and 17, 000 SF of programmed space will be the first LEED (targeting Gold) project on campus. The Photovoltaic array was designed to demonstrate the project commitment to sustainable practices as the system will power the entire project making it a net zero consumer of electricity. The project includes a large water quality basin that will not only treat runoff from the parking structure but will also polish runoff from the campus previously untreated.
