The renovation of the Architectural Building Technology studio and lab increased the usable area by approximately 40% for the growing department at the college. Three state of the art computer labs were added to the facility to augment the two existing labs. Studio and teaching space were expanded in order to accommodate a larger number of studio courses that run simultaneously, Shared computer kiosks (computer trees) were distributed throughout the space to help define the edges of the open studios, outline circulation paths and to encourage students to work on their projects on the premises. the repetitive kiosks feature built-in CPUs, galvanized metal columns and a floating disk with integral down-lighting. Architectura provided schematic and design  development services for the project.
