2009 AIANC Design Awards - Wake Technical Community College - North Campus Building D - Merit

Architect: Pearce Brinkley Cease + Lee - Building D acts as part of an architectural protective filter, separating the campuss landscaped spaces, Neuse River buffers and wetlands from the campus access roads and parking areas. At approximately 75,000 gross-square-foot, the building contains classrooms, faculty offices, lounges and a bookstore on four floors. Building D also acts as a threshold into the campus core. A large framed two story opening defines the entry and allows for pedestrian movement from the vehicular zone to the landscaped campus interior. This frame also shelters an elevated campus -scaled porch and focuses views to the old growth trees, pond and wetlands beyond.
