2024 Outstanding Project

The project encompasses a comprehensive renovation of the first floor and a portion of the second floor of the college’s building.

Inside the renewed vestibule, an expanded lobby gives direct access to the Academic Student Services suite, newly accessible restrooms, and four new classrooms. Two of these are tiered lecture halls with 85 and 100 seats. The others are seminar rooms.

The lobby features a luminous bamboo-slat ceiling and a lounge/study space. Bamboo plywood portals help organize the spaces and provide wayfinding signs. The project is expected to achieve LEED Gold.
