The John J. Sbrega Health and Science Building is as a shared resource occupied by multiple disciplines within the Sciences and Health Professions disciplines at Bristol Community College. The facility represents the translation of basic science to its application in the health professions. For the sciences, the building accommodates flexible instructional labs and support space for field biology, biotech, microbiology, and general chemistry. The health professions are represented by nursing skills and simulation labs, clinical laboratory science and medical assisting labs, dental hygiene labs and teaching clinic, which provides care to underserved populations.

We have designed a school building for Deltion College training institute at Zwartewaterallee in Zwolle, the Netherlands.
The designated use of this building is to provide accommodation for the VEVA training course (safety and professional expertise). Deltion College provides this training on behalf of the Ministry of Defence at a level that equates to senior secondary vocational education. The building is home to, among other things, 16 classrooms, various practical rooms, a canteen with a professional kitchen, a fitness room and a gym. In addition, the building has a practical space at ground floor level featuring lift bridges for motor vehicle technology and a workshop for trucks.
The total surface area of the building measures over 5000m2. Since sports form an important part of the training, the building benefits from 11 large changing and shower rooms.
Located at the entrance of Wake Technical Community College in a natural setting, the Regional Plant Teaching Facility creates a gateway to the campus and acts as a symbol of the merging of technology, education, and sustainability. While the building’s program is comprised of spaces to house heating and cooling equipment, it is also an educational fa-cility for teaching students and the public about energy efficient building systems. A sim-ple rectilinear glass and steel box with a perforated metal screen layer was designed to house, screen, and display the technology and to create a unique educational space for the college.
Atelier PRO has designed a completely new learning environment, encompassing both the architecture and interiors, for the senior general (HAVO) and pre-university (VWO) students at Carmel College in Raalte. The landscape design was made in collaboration with Oase Stedenbouw en Landschap urban planning consulting agency.
Atelier PRO’s design for IJburg College 2 in Amsterdam was selected as part of a European tender. IJburg College 2 is a new secondary school that will accommodate approximately 800 students at VMBO-T and HAVO levels. The aim is to realise a ‘High Tech Green’ school that fits well with this site.
The Arbour proposes to be the hinge of the George Brown College Waterfront campus. The building links the School of Design, the Daphne Cockwell building, and upcoming Innovation Center while also serving as the gateway to future development. Located at the junction of the urban grid and nature’s grid, the Arbour interlaces both to boldly respond to the site’s conditions.
Cutting a diagonal across the site from top to bottom, the Arbour organizes itself around the available daylight on site. Inside, an escalating atrium serves as the extension of the public realm and brings light deep into the building’s floorplate. Around this core, a staggered truss system organizes the different spaces in an efficient and adjustable way. The trusses create resilient and generous spaces using mass timber construction.
JGMA’s design strategy for the Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Center utilizes building transparency to showcase machines, equipment, and products integral to the learning objectives of the colleges as well as provide a visual connection to the surrounding West Lawn community. The seamless fluidity to the building’s form was inspired by the constant and linear flow of the manufacturing process. The building spans the main thoroughfare of 76th Street with a strong industrial bridge that links the south and north campus of Richard J. Daley College.
Designed by Moriyama & Teshima Montgomery Sisam, Architects in Joint Venture, the Sheridan College Hazel McCallion Campus Phase 2 (HMC2) opened in January 2017 as the second building on Sheridan’s newest campus. Accommodating an additional 3200 full-time students, HMC2 combines state-of-the-art formal and informal learning spaces to become an incubator for invention and applied creativity. Architectural interest is found in the complex sectional character of the building achieved by intersecting a porous inner bar with a variety of public spaces below.
