Pursuing LEED Gold accreditation and delivered via progressive design-build, the innovative $96-million, 115,000-sq-ft building is a long-awaited athletics and educational resource for the college and surrounding community. Among its many distinctive features is an activated roof and canopy system, a signature architectural element designed to mimic the undulation of the surrounding ridgeline. Cantilevering 30 ft beyond the building and assembled on site in modules, the 60-ft-high canopy reduces solar heat gain on the second-floor curtain wall while providing partial shading to the 35,000-sq-ft roof. Coordination of exposed mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems using three-dimensional modeling ensured that their placement complemented other architectural elements.
