Design and Construction of Building B
Lawrenceville, Georgia
The design of the building underscores its purpose as a hub for Gwinnett Technical College Computer Science. The design of the facility will attract potential new students. From the main lobby staircase, one can view the specialty labs, simulation, and networking labs. One also can see into the server room, illustrating the working components of the systems. The structure of the rack and underfloor conduit can be seen through clear access panel flooring.
The multipurpose gaming lab, with two dividers, creates three game development classrooms or one large gaming space. It can hold tournaments or presentations. The interior design and wayfinding were inspired by the computer programs, including programming, coding, and gaming circuit patterns used throughout the facility as seen in the signage, graphics, window film, carpeting, and lighting design. Graphics were inspired by visual concepts for programming and coding and highlight that this is the home of the Gwinnett Technical College CIS programs.
