Lionakis has designed the new Student Engagement Center – a bold ‘front door’ to the campus that reflects the cutting edge environment of the college, while maintaining a friendly, welcoming feel.
Just inside the glass entry, a translucent, glowing art piece highlights the Welcome Center, where students and staff support incoming students. The building also houses student services, classrooms and the administrative offices of the campus. Designed to meet the LEED Gold standard, the building showcases a number of sustainable systems including natural ventilation, displacement ventilation, radiant heating, solar hot water heating, municipal reclaimed water use, and controlled LED lighting throughout.
