Sarah Graham Kenan Library Renovation and Research Study
Raleigh, NC
EwingCole Interiors’ EDAC-certified staff, in collaboration with in-house researchers, performed a pre- and post-design evaluation of the Sarah Graham Kenan Library to inform design decisions and create a flexible, high-performance learning environment, expedite the project delivery process, and maximize use of the project budget. Based on the evaluation results, EwingCole identified a need for flexibility for individual and group learning and increased infrastructure for personal electronic devices. Zones were developed for individual study and active group collaboration, a technology bar for device charging was implemented, and flex learning spaces for classes or tutoring were created. Student and staff response to the renovated space has been overwhelmingly positive.

North Campus Parking Deck
Raleigh, NC
The design of the Wake Tech North Campus Parking Deck is a site adaptation of the facility designed for the Health Sciences 2 Campus to meet the needs associated with increasing enrollments. In addition to accommodations made to meet the unique site requirements of the deck location, the cladding of the deck was re-designed to blend with the contextual architectural language of the LEED certified North Campus.Modifications to vehicular and pedestrian entry and exit points were made to function efficiently with site features and also facilitated an increase in the efficiency of the structure. Designed to occupy the same footprint as the original deck, the new facility provides spaces for an additional 19 vehicles including rechargeable electric cars. Recipient of the AIA Triangle Honor Award and AIA NC Merit Award.

Soctt Barracks Renovation / Modernization
West Point, NY

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Scott Barracks was originally built in 1938 and did not meet the current Army standards of living.  EwingCole was then commissioned as the AE of Record for the $53M design/build renovation and modernization of this 147,000 SF, 239-room barracks. Design and construction was completed in 11 months.  The renovation/modernization design meets the square footage, power, communications, security, and utility requirements necessary for the next fifty years.  Additional work included building code compliance and mold remediation, as well as a new fire suppression, fire notification, and infrastructure system tying into the campus-wide system.  Infrastructure improvements brought the building into compliance with all current health, safety, and building codes requirements.

 

“Scott Barracks was a huge success due to the team philosophy that was shared between EwingCole, the Designer of Record; FSA/JKC Joint Venture, the General Contractor; and the USMA. The project was completed on time and on budget due to the fact that each party involved shared the same teamwork philosophy. Without this, the project would have never been such a great success.”

Fisher Student Center
Smithfield, RI

This project was a 56,000 SF renovation of the Student Center.  It features the University Bookstore, food service vendors and dining areas, a music room, student mail boxes, dedicated space for the Women’s Center, LGBT suite, Inter-Cultural Center, and a variety of student areas and offices.  The renovation created a Student Activity loft, a work area dedicated to student organizations, flexible meeting spaces, and touchdown workstations.

 
“I have a renewed amazement with the Fisher Ctr. transformation each and every time I walk into the building. Beyond the updated finishes, the real success of the project is obvious with students filling the lounges, socializing, studying, and participating in many of the endless events now held in this preferred building. Through your thoughtful reconfiguration, the space has re-energized the once dowdy center with a rich and vibrant student experience. I believe you have accomplished what you set out to and then some –congratulations!”
