SCSU Student CenterClay Horney | Josh Mace | Peter Shamblin

BriefBuilding off David Chipperfields Common Ground concept, the project calls for a student center for South Carolina State University creating dialogue between students of different backgrounds and giving ambition for collective efforts. SCSU was founded in 1896 as a land-grant A&M school for black studentsmirroring Clemson. The need for a new or rehabilitated student center became clear through a previous design exercise directed by Prof. Paul Russell.

The design required several diverse parts, such as meeting rooms, offices, and food court-style dining. Through a discussion with current students during a campus visit, it became clear that a bowling alley and a ballroom were also a necessity. The project target was set for 45,000 gross sq ft at a budget of $16 million.

Concept & Programming

The over-riding design concept focused on the juxtaposition of two zonesa calmer mind zone towards the north of the site and a busier body zone along the south. This concept continued throughout the project. Later in the project we layered on concepts of adaptibility and daylighting.

GAME ROOMFITNESS CENTER

Site Planning At a master planning scale, we proposed a reinvented Orangeburg massacre memorial centralized in a position alluding to its inherent connection to the student center. We proposed making a decided focus on more-travelled Geathers street on the north side, and lessening vehicular access on Gaillard street to the south by narrowing it and repaving it in brick, as well as planting shade trees along campus circulation.

On the site for the building itself, we play up the duality of parts by using brick pavers on pavement on grid with the body zone, and precast pavers on grid with the mind zone. Tree plantings and new spots to sit fit into the overall master plan.

Building Design & Massing

The building plans make obvious the relationship between the two zones from the concept. In addition, note the adaptibility created by the multi-use circulation, the multi-purpose event space, and the auditorium with movable seats. Light wells provide ample daylighting without creating heavy solar gains.

Structural ResolutionThe long, upper-level span from the auditorium made steel a clear choice for the structural design. While other elements might have been built differently, it made more sense to stick with the same method throughout.

The structural design again goes back to the main concept as the structure works in three distinct partsone for the mind zone, one for the body zone, and one bridging between the two. It further reinforces adaptability as the columnar structure implies that in the event of future renovation or extension only the partitions filling in around the steel structure will require editing. Finally, the steel structure allows for more daylighting and interaction with the rest of campus than most other construction methods.

LEVEL 2 FRAMING PLAN ROOF FRAMING PLAN

Mechanical and Rain DesignThe design primarily uses a VAV system with three cores. These align with the concept once again, as our largest unit handles the body zone, we have one unit handling most of the mind zone, and a third unit handling the auditorium and the semi-satellite barber shop, salon, and convenience store. In addition, we propose offsetting the VAV cost with a geothermally controlled radiant slab.

Because of the buildings wide, flat footprint, we investigated the potential for rainwater collection and its potential to offset water use.

Envelope Resolution

Once again, the envelope follows the core concept. The southern, body zone uses matte-finish white fiber cement panels, while the mind zone uses glossy, SCSU red aluminum composite panels.
