Location: Research Triangle Park, NC

The new General Administration and Classroom Building is the first building for Wake Tech Community College’s new Research Triangle Park campus.  As the first campus building, the 110,000 sf, three story form defines the future campus geometry and architectural character.  The building design is conceived as a ‘campus in one’ with all necessary programs to support the new campus. The exterior of its ‘U’ shaped massing serves as a sound buffer to busy highway and railroad traffic. To the interior, the massing defines three sides of a more intimate courtyard that anchors one end of a future academic quadrangle.
