Room 180 and Corridor Renovations

Main Academic Building

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Client: Cincinnati State Technical & Community College (CSTCC)

Project:
To convert a 1950 dated corridor and 1960's remodeled classroom areas into a modern college multi-media center and public meeting area for community and corporate current and potential business partners. The goal was to create a new image for CSTCC as a prelude to the (then) coming Advance Technology and learning center.

Details:
Conversion of area into state of art media presentation center entailed:

• Opening up exterior blocked window - a return to day lighting
• A translucent screen wall system separated the dining/food prep area from the presentation room (also served as control flow for food distribution)
• New dynamic wall and ceiling details produced a unique combination of wood, wall paper, ceramic tile, and carpeting
• Advance high tech audio/video computer integrated (with Information Technology Department) equipment, drop screen and Dolby sound system
• ADA modifications per doors, fixtures, and seating
• Fire protection system (existing) had to be modified to add in new system for this project
• Design and develop ADA compliance exterior stairs/ramp combination
• Existing HVAC system modified to provide air flow, heat, etc. to the newly defined and reformed spaces
• Metal floating ceiling system reflects the 1950’s ceiling (metal) but with newer materials and side lit down lighting in corridor.
