Student Services Complex
The Student Services Complex is a multi-part project comprised of a new entry road, parking lot, administration building, and pedestrian plaza. This building and entry will serve as the new gateway to campus.
The Student Services Complex and pedestrian plaza will be the architectural gem of campus. Highly visible from the new grand entrance to campus, this building will be a centralized location for all essential student services and needs.
As a gateway building, it will define Evergreen Valley College's campus image and provide a destination that is welcoming and inclusive. The vision for the interior of the building is to promote clarity and ease for the student navigating the services. The building’s features intend to invite interaction, collaboration, peer support, and learning. Each of the services offered will maintain a sense of uniqueness while being part of a cohesive whole. Access to natural daylight, spaces for socializing, and connections to the outdoor environment will help promote the well-being of the students, staff, and faculty.
In alignment with the College's commitment to positive stewardship of the environment, sustainable strategies will create an attractive aesthetic and align with Evergreen Valley College's maintenance and operations requirements. It is a part of the College's focus to incorporate flexibility and adaptability within the building programs as an essential component of sustainability.
