The 2020 LCC Master Plan proposed development of a new facility focused on the needs of the Health, Medical, and Fitness Career Division. The goals include bringing the Dental Program/Dental Clinic back to the Main Campus, providing additional Health Professions academic and administrative offices, and developing a 100+ seat classroom for lectures and community events.
In the time since program needs were developed for the Master Plan, the EMT, AEMT and Paramedic, and Medical Assistant program have grown substantially. The campus desires to include teaching space for these programs in the new facility. With the growth of the programs, there is a strong desire to locate the new building close to the existing Health Professions Building and Physical Education Center to better integrate teaching programs and share equipment.
LCC is advancing its diversity, equity, and inclusion goals with the new facility. This focus prompted the integration of gender-neutral restroom facilities.
LCC is also committed to environmental sustainability. The project is seeking USGBC - Minimum LEED Silver certification for the building.
The tour will also include discussion of programming for the new facility, and presentation of technology used to assist with Construction Administration.
Learning Objective 1:
Participants will learn about the design elements included in the building to promote full representation for users of the building, including nongender-specific restrooms, which when designed properly acknowledge users mental well-being and promote their safety in the built space.
Learning Objective 2:
Attendees will be introduced to how the Contractor and Architect used innovative virtual reality and 3D technology to assist with the Construction Administration process.
Learning Objective 3:
Participants will be able to identify the accessibility measures included in the project, including a pedestrian bridge/ramp that not only provides accessibility to the building itself, but will also enhance campus accessibility by providing a more direct route from the center of campus to the north side of campus.
Learning Objective 4:
Participants will be able to identify the strategies used to achieve energy efficiency on the path to earn a LEED Silver rating, including material selection and assemblies in the project to address environmental concerns.
