CNNC Presentation Boards

For my design of the CNNC building was to create a hidden and exposed design. From our many interviews with CNNC staff we learned that they were in need of large public spaces as well as private office spaces. Another factor I considered was that the immigrants did not like to be in enclosed spaces, it makes them nervous and uncomfortable. For my private spaces which were mostly the office spaces, I enclosed with ceilings at 11'-6". However the public spaces I either left completely open or used glass walls. Most all of the class rooms and conference rooms have a glass wall to make the space seem more open. There is also a glass arched ceiling over the class rooms and conferences rooms to tie in the arched vault as well as the exposed concept. I chose concrete flooring with the exception of carpet for the private offices. My choices of color I wanted to feel exciting, fun and inviting. I chose to use mainly neutrals with splashes of color using a light teal and a burnt orange.

In my design I know I want to keep everything very simple and functional with an easy flow. I also want to keep as much open as possible. In this stage I am still working on my color scheme and materials. However I know I want to use glass and concrete.
