Whether for interesting concepts, new construction components, or overall fantastic design, for members who are still relatively new to the profession or members who are just curious, every building is a great learning tool.

Building Tour of Phillip Markwood Architects' Columbus State Community College Academic Center "E" Project - June 4, 2010

CSCC Building Tour

Columbus State Community College has developed a new LEED Silver academic building to become the core of a new branch campus in rapidly growing Delaware County. CSCC is embracing environmental stewardship holistically with a sustainable building, site, campus, and academic courses offered to students.
 
The design brings together all of the functions of a basic college campus in an open Learning Center environment. The South façade of the learning commons is visually connected to the native landscape with a curtain wall system which includes sunshades, insulated aluminum panels, translucent panels, and various tints of high performance glazing to control sunlight. Interior glazing is used extensively to draw daylight and views into the core of the building. The learning commons is unified under a sloping metal roof with long overhangs for daylight control. Extensive research on building orientation, building envelope, mechanical options and electrical systems were integrated into the project design. Recycled, regional and low-emitting materials define the building spaces. Raised flooring in the learning commons provides additional adaptability, flexibility and control of technology, electrical and mechanical systems.

This tour was organized by the Emerging Professionals Committee and was lead by Steve Shinn, AIA.
