The design of this new facility was the resolution of great challenges presented in converting this vocational school into “district wide” Administration Offices of 20 departments, previously housed in multiple facilities. The existing building was given a new façade with a low cost insulated metal skin adding an improved thermal value. In addition to the existing structure, a new 32,000 sf building was added on the property located at the front to address more public functions. This space also contains the receptionist and phone switchboard operator serving as the single point of contact for continuity and security for the entire complex. This building was designed to offer the district a prominent appeal to its patrons and visitors consistent with its position in the county.
