Architecture:
The Teacher Education and Technology Center consists of three levels of lecture/classroom spaces, faculty offices, and laboratory spaces. The main architectural feature of the building is the curved corner colonnade, mimicking the curve of the street corner the building sits on. The “S” shaped building footprint creates a large courtyard space shielded front the busy street. A stairwell tower located on the southwest corner of the building is an added feature to the back of the building.
Building Envelope:
The Teacher Education and Technology Center roofing system consists of a combination of an interior flat roof and a perimeter gable roof. The entire systems utilizes “W” shape steel framing and trusses with metal decking. Holder Construction Company has priced both a standing seam aluminum roof and an architectural shingled roof. The owner is currently evaluating both systems.
The building exterior walls consist of both brick and architectural pre-cast concrete panels. An 8” cold formed metal stud system, with rigid insulation, backs both of these systems throughout the entire building. The majority of the building utilizes “punch-out” windows with the exception of the corner colonnade, back side stairwell tower, and courtyard “porch”. These areas of the building utilize full height windows, broken by pre-cast concrete panels, that increase the amount of natural daylight in the building.
