NCSU AIAS Freedom by Design students worked to analyze, present, and design-build a new playground for one of the Governor Morehead school dormitories. OA served as pro-bono Architect of Record for this project, and sponsor/ mentor to the design students, providing field experience and professional accreditation hours.
The Building SL Student Services Center was occupied during the removal of existing soffits and installation of new mechanical equipment. During demolition, evidence of water intrusion from exterior walkways and deteriorated structural conditions were found. The Design Team prepared a Study to assist WTCC in planning a separate structural repair project. At Building SK, we designed a new office, boiler room, roof access ladder, and replacement interior finishes. We also permitted the Temporary Bookstore space in Building ST.
The Phase II renovation includes upfit of 23,000 sf of warehouse space for training, meeting, early voting and support space; building envelope improvements; interior finishes and furniture selection; plumbing, mechanical, electrical and fire protection; security and AV pathways; and site accessibility.
