OAKLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE ROYAL OAK CAMPUS

Royal Oak, Michigan
Square Feet: 165,226

The challenge was to create a new college campus in the urban setting of an assemblage of two Royal Oak city blocks. The building solution includes four distinct elements, each housing a particular discipline of the curriculum. These elements are connected visually and physically with a glass-enclosed mall.

The circular Instructional Resource Center is placed in the center of the complex because it is the functional, as well as the symbolic center and focus. It is expressed as a transparent enclosure completely visible from all common spaces on the campus, indoors and outdoors. This was one of the first buildings that started the revitalization of downtown Royal Oak.
