Corner Library
After developing the master plan for the UCHS site, each group member was assigned a specific building on site. The Library is located on the Northwest entry to the site. The shape of the building is influenced by site datum lines - a cantilever on the back end was an early development that helps facilitate circulation within the site. I concentrated on developing the facade and outside of the building to create an inviting entry. The interior is a simple open floor plan with a service "block" on one end. Through the wall section model exercise, I was able to develop a panel system with fiber cement panels. Also incorporated within the design are accessibility solutions, a steel beam structure, and water run-off collection through cisterns.
