Specifications include, but are not limited to: The prosposed project is an interior modification and complete renovation of both floors of the building. Reorganization of the program layout and modification to building systems will be performed. Currently underutilized, classrooms will be reduced from 12 units to 9 units. Flexible study spaces for individual and collaborative use will replace classrooms on the first floor. The faculty offices will be reorganized around study spaces to encourage and facilitate student/ teacher interaction. A portion of classroom space on the second floor becomes study and student lounge space. Underutilized labs become larger, more flexible lecture spaces. This project will strengthen the overall campus by providing more opportunities for academic collaboration between students and teachers. This project will begin to foster improved connectivity of east and west campus (either side of College Drive) by providing the type study environment that is not currently available on the East side of campus. Student housing is located near the Academic Building making it the perfect location for additional study space. The new program encourages innovative learning opportunities. Programmatically, the project will promote balance between the East and West sides of campus, which is a crucial step toward the goal of creating a more unified institution. Specific guidelines for the project include building designs that are: attractive and contextual with the existing campus buildings and meet the design guidelines established in the campus master plan. energy-efficient and sustainable efficient and economical to construct and operate durable, comfortable, secure, and that achieve a high degree of value for the Institution “smart” buildings with the flexibility to respond to rapidly evolving technology in the academic environment.
