The Transportation Center at Pima Community College’s Center of Excellence for Applied Technology is 43,000 square feet with a total of 27 work bays, including spaces for testing and diagnosis of electric vehicles, faculty offices, classrooms, a dynamometer room, equipment storage, and a large public entry. The unique utility of the building governed its placement, such as the clearance necessary for cars to drive around the lobby and into the work bays. In addition, the structural design focuses on responding to flexibility and visibility, resulting in a state-of-the-art, hands-on learning environment reflected in the vast amount of exposed steel. A high degree of coordination and unique framing concepts, which the team termed “structural gymnastics,” led to the project’s success. DLR Group provided planning, architecture, structural engineering, electrical engineering, interiors, and construction administration services for the Transportation Center.
