After 30 years in downtown Eugene,
Lane Community College's Downtown Campus will have a new state of the art facility combining academic programs and student housing with community spaces. We met with
SRG Architects yesterday to kick off our participation in the design process for "the building that teaches." Targeted for LEED platinum, the building design is intended to both demonstrate and teach sustainable building strategies.
Karen, Mike and Elizabeth met with Kent Duffy, Louise Foster, Tim Grinstead and Jon Wiener at SRG to review drawings, renderings and floorplans as we brainstormed wayfinding and interpretive graphics for the new building.
We also brought lots of sign samples and a slide show of relevant projects to stimulate discussion.
Tim is demonstrating the metal cladding panels for the building exterior. We spent a lot of time visualizing building identification signage and its relationship to street trees and sight lines.
We were especially taken with the stainless cabling for the stair railings - surely it could be jewelry for more than a building!
