Architecture
The project is being delivered in two phases. Phase One focused on initial programming and a comprehensive evaluation of the existing facility, resulting in a detailed assessment and analysis report to determine whether renovation or complete replacement was the best path forward. Following a thorough review, the college elected to renovate the existing building, initiating Phase Two. This phase encompasses the full design and construction of an upgraded central plant.
The renovation addresses essential seismic upgrades and ensures full ADA compliance through the addition of a new staircase and elevator. Significant interior modernizations are also planned, improving both workspaces and offices. In parallel, a metering and needs assessment is being conducted to guide the design and ensure efficient operation of the new systems.
Sustainability is a key driver of the project. The design incorporates hot water and cold water thermal energy storage (TES) tanks, reinforcing the college’s commitment to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions. Upon completion, the renovated building will feature a state-of-the-art system designed to support campus growth, with the TES tanks providing critical resilience to the college’s electrical demands.
