CORE at PIE Innovation Center
Bradley County, Tennessee
Design team
David Hudson (Principal in Charge); Mark Wynnemer (Project Manager); Brian Locke (Project Architect)
As the focus of the overall PIE Innovation Center, the school is named CORE because it is the core of this center, providing a variety of workforce development opportunities for its students. The STEM school building consists of a recording studio, chemistry lab, nursing lab, welding lab, machining lab, mechatronics lab, classrooms, meeting space, administrative space, and a coffee shop. All instruction and labs are designed to simulate real world work environments to provide competency training. In the main lobby, an exhibit space highlights the history of the building. This project is an adaptive reuse of a manufacturing facility and is part of a much larger picture in helping develop the lives of young adults.
