| Since growing to 31k students, the largest enrollment of any single-campus community college in the US outside of California, COD felt the need to consolidate several programs into one building, says HOK's Erik Andersen, design principal. The facility includes a 125-seat tiered lecture hall, a dental hygiene clinic, 36 labs (including anatomy and physiology with cadaver capabilities), and a simulated operating suite. The building is pending LEED-NC Gold cert. Sustainable elements include heat recovery wheels, design for daylighting, a reflective roof, recycled materials, and water cisterns. | |
