Description
My primary proposed design maintains some of the elements from the original building, and modernizing others. The roof is the same to lend itself to a more cohesive design, but the curtain walls modernize the new structure while CMU accents tie in the original structure. There are multiple individual study rooms and group study rooms, a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, and a student center. The top floor has a gallery for student exhibitions, and the bottoms floor contains the “maker’s space”. Multiple printing and storage rooms are on each floor, but the floor plan is still open enough to encourage collaboration and socialization. The design alternatives are in the exterior facade. There is an alternative to curtain walls, where the walls are a mix of the original CMU but with modern accents and new arched windows. Another alternative is to entirely close the balcony connecting the two buildings on the third floor, creating a sun room
