The Learning Resource Center at Windward Community College PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REPORT view corridor along that axis is emphasized by the structural and sculptural wall that runs the full length of the building and continues past the outer walls. The entry of the building to the north is along this wall. The users entering the building will be able to see down this view corridor to the sculpture in the center of the mall. They will also “feel” the axis of the entire mall. 2) The view to the Koolau Mountains from the west entry point. The building takes advantage of the view to the Koolau Mountains between the two banyan trees just west of the west entrance at the Second Floor. 3) The view of the existing historic architecture to the east. The view of Hale Mana‘opono to the east is in direct alignment with The Learning Resource Center entrance. This view is along the previously mentioned minor axis. Architectural Style: The architectural style from the exterior blends with the existing campus architecture and could be considered Spanish Mediterranean in character. The arched openings, hip roofs with clay tile and the covered arcades or colonnaded walkways are detail elements of the existing architecture that is integrated into The Learning Resource Center. The two-story profile from each of the facades also creates a unity with the existing architecture. The building massing emphasizes horizontal elements instead of vertical elements as established by the Windward Community College Urban Design Plan and Design Guidelines 1994. The building elevations are articulated with changes in planes and vertical elements, again as requested by the aforementioned guidelines. The roof design generally conforms to the hip or gable styles currently found on campus. The main east and west entrances were emphasized as requested in the design guidelines. Building Materials: The stucco walls and clay tile roofs create a strong sense of visual unity for the campus. The metal roofing, flashing, gutters and downspouts will be developed in later design phases. The flat roofing materials shall be non-reflective and non-glare producing earth tone colors as requested. The main entrances are anticipated to be aluminum and glass systems similar to the newer buildings on campus. University of Hawaii Community Colleges April 2004 Project No. CC-02-6188 III-17
The Learning Resource Center at Windward Community College PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REPORT Fenestration: The arched openings, hip roofs with clay tile and the covered arcades or colonnaded walkways are detail elements of the existing architecture that are incorporated in The Learning Resource Center. Colors: The exterior wall colors shall be off-white/beige to match the existing buildings. The paint finishes will conform to the design guidelines. The glass on the exterior shall be the blue/green tinted glass as specified in the Design Guidelines. The flat roofing materials shall be non-reflective and non-glare producing earth tone colors as requested Sense of Place: The sense of place for the building will be captured by its strategic location within the campus mall location. The facility will act as a focal building within the campus master plan yet will blend with the existing massing, fenestration, materials, and color of the existing architecture. The interior will also provide a sense of place with the central atrium at the juncture of the main entrance and the linear open space within the building. This space will house the Information Commons and define the hub of activity of the complex. The social sense of place will be further defined by the strategic placement of the coffee shop at the north end of the facility overlooking the proposed amphitheater area to the north. c.
