The Learning Resource Center at Windward Community College PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REPORT The vertical zoning of key functions within the new LRC is as follows: Level One: Level Two: Level Three: East Entry (Main Entry) and North Entry (Coffee Cafe Entry) Library Information Commons New Periodicals Reference Area Library Technical Services Coffee Shop Group Study Rooms Library Collection and Study Area A Computer Lab Computing Services College Archives Hawaiian Room West Entry (upper level grade access to the west) Primary Library Collection Area Library Study Area B The Learning Center (TLC) Large Conference Room Instructional Media Services Electronic Classroom Duplicating and Copy Center Group Study Room Service Entry and Dock to the west LRC Administration Mechanical space An important vertical volume and visual connector will be the two-story atrium. A stonewall that begins at the north entry and continues through the facility to the south end is located to the west of the atrium. This wall provides key way finding by emphasis of the northsouth axis within the building. This warm-toned and textured wall, perhaps built of local stone, provides opportunities for art display and locally rich historic symbolism, as well as a great setting for the Hawaiian Room. Friendly, indirect natural lighting minimizes the need for artificial light. Natural light will enter the building through large energy-conscious glass windows utilizing light deflecting mullions and automatic shades. Translucent gabled-skylights, placed along the top roof ridge, and clerestory windows along and under the eaves of the east-west raised roof will provide diffused, University of Hawaii Community Colleges April 2004 Project No. CC-02-6188 III-15
The Learning Resource Center at Windward Community College PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REPORT natural light throughout. Photosensitive controls on artificial lights will turn off electric lights when not needed, thereby reducing heat gain. Mechanical spaces are strategically located within the facility floor plan for efficient and easy airflow access to all spaces. The exterior building form and massing for Windward Community College is designed to be a pleasant human scale, a friendly neighborhood image, and a contextual tropical architectural vocabulary. Matching clay tile roofs, off-white stucco walls, and sloped-roof arcades will be the primary design components that define the architecture of the new building. Under the protective banyan trees, the LRC will bring dynamic new life and architectural dignity to the campus. a. Building Massing and Form The Learning Resource Center facility building massing is an outgrowth of the function of the building as well as a response to the site parameters and spatial requirements. As mentioned above, the building form responds to the major and minor axes as well as the grades between Hale La’akea and the Hale Mana’opono. The architectural functions within the building are expressed in the building massing. The western portion of the building houses the “back of the house” functions used by the staff of The Learning Resource Center while the eastern portion relates to the stack areas and other areas used by the students on a daily basis. Roof Design shall conform to hip or gable styles currently used on campus. Roof slopes shall be 3:12 to 6:12 using S-shape clay tile system. The design concept uses varying roof and wall planes to optimize scale and massing with respect to the site. Balconies/arcades are selectively integrated to further address scale and massing. b. Architectural Elements View Corridors: The exterior view corridors that were taken into consideration in the design were: 1) the view down the major mall axis. The building responds to this view corridor by aligning the wall separating the two major building functions along that line.
