Details
This new facility provides the HCC Central Campus with 122,000 sf of educational, academic support and community space. The Learning Hub and Science Center houses the welcome center, library, science laboratories, classrooms and meeting rooms and has become the new center of campus.
The building curves gently to receive and reflect the facade of the original historic San Jacinto building, which visually preserves the symmetry of the historical structure and represents the vibrant future of the institution. The Learning Hub was designed to be a beacon to the students and for the community. The facade acts as a billboard that showcases the life of the campus within. All public spaces in the building have a visual connection to the outdoors and views to the campus.
On the interior, text and color become organizing elements that navigate visitors through the space as well as convey the school’s vision. A warm gold notes the public program while the main core is defined by a fresh green hue with graphics that wrap the walls. Throughout the building, text and color are situated in contrast to the roughness of the exposed structural concrete.
