The Student Center and Commons building’s are a part of a overall Campus master plan and vision for Antelope Valley College in Lancaster CA. These two buildings are positioned to be at the new academic core and the Student Center building will serve as the new Gateway to Campus.Programmatically, the buildings serve the campus and become an asset for all AVC students.
The buildings act together to create connections to the landscape and opportunities for gathering and campus life. The Facades are made of three simple materials, Corten Steel, Glass, and CMU Block. The Corten Steel reveals itself as a thin surface layered over a Base of Block and slips past Glazing to showcase the extension of campus life into the building.
