Gateway Center, Westchester Community College Valhalla, NY State University of New York
This 70,000-sf (6,500-sm) project consists of three new buildings. The Gateway, a large and open volume serving as a lobby, is flanked by two buildings which house classrooms, offices, an auditorium, student lounge and a cafeteria. The Gateway's unique structural design consists of architecturally exposed, stackable steel "boxes," which are prefabricated and bolted together on site. A steel bridge crosses the Gateway and links the three campus buildings. The site is further distinguished by a 65-foot (20-m) tall steel tower, which is lit at night to serve as a beacon for the campus. This facility received a LEED Gold rating. |
