Themid-centuryarchitecturalthemeisprominentintheGymnasiumbuildinganditsrevivalisechoedintherecentadditionsoncampus;TheFitnessCenter,theLibrary,theLearningResourceCenter(LRC),andthehovering“SpaceShip”shadestructure.

Ingeneral,duetothecampus’ageandrecentconstruction,thecampusvariesinconditionfromoutdated&poorlymaintainedbuildingstonew&maintainedbuildings.Themostoutdatedandpoorlymaintainedfacilities/buildingsincludetheTrade&Industrial,CareerTech,StudentCenter,Gymnasium,andathleticfields.

Asidefromtheageofthecampus,theorganizationofthebuildingsisappropriatetothefunctionsandaspirationsofthecollege.Theorganizationoftheoverallcampusis“flagshaped”withthesouthlegofthecampusseparatedfromthe“academiccore.”The“academiccore’s”organizationalpatternfollowsthatofaradialscheme,withbuildingssurroundingacentralopenspacesubdividedintosmallerturfedquads.Thistypeoforganizationisatraditionalapproachandisrepresentativeofahighereducationalinstitution.

• Thebuildingssurroundingthelargeopenquadsaremassedextrusionsofcircular,curved,andrectangularshapes.

• Buildingsconsistofonetothreestorybuildingsthatdifferfromonebuildingtothenextinfacadearticulation.

• Thereexistsaneclecticcollectionofbuildingsvaryinginstylebetweenoriginalandnewlyconstructedbuildings.

• Thethemeofthecampusischaracterizedbytheoriginalmid-centurymodernbuildings.

• Newlyconstructedbuildingsarecontemporary,characterizedbyacompositionofplansofvaryingmaterials&sizesthatarepushedback-and-forthfromoneanother.

• Thehorizontalisdominantlyexpressedinthemassoftheoriginalbuildings.• MostrecentlyconstructedGymnasiumandLibrary/LRCconglomeratearethree

Compare HP90

Compare HP90 to other

lighting products and see

the difference.

HP90’s sculptured curved body

illuminates the entire opening so

there are no dark areas or busy lines.

It is a clean bold architectural
