Architecture

Design & Functional Components:

The Teaching Center is a building that incorporates many uses. Many lectrure halls and classrooms are present as well as teaching labs for science purposes. There are three café’s in the building which will serve refreshments to students.

 

Major National Model Codes:

• IBC (2012 Edition) as incorporated and amendeded by the Maryland Building Performance Standards COMAR

• State Fire Prevention Code (COMAR 29.06.01)

• NFPA 1 Fire Code (2012 Edition)

• National Electrical Code (2011 Edition)

• NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (2012 Edition)

• International Mechanical Code (2012 Edition)

 

Zoning:

The building’s occupancy will be Non-Separated mixed use. It is an Assembly Group A which denotes:

 

 

• A room or space used for assembly purposes with an occupant load of less than 50 persons shall be classified

• as Group B occupancy. (IBC, 303 Ex. 2.)

• A room or space used for assembly purposes that is less than 750 SF shall be classified as Group B occupancy. (IBC, 303 Ex. 3.)

• A-3 for assembly (lecture halls without fixed seating) > 50 occupants (303)

Building Enclosure

The exterior walls have many different surfaces depending where they are located on the building. Most of the building features brick walls with windows. Most of the roof will be a thermoplastic roof, but there will also be a green roof featured on parts of the building. A curtain wall will be on a wall facing away from the sun.

 

Sustainability

The Teaching Center is aiming to achieve LEED Silver upon completion. Some of the ways that will be done is by adding a roof top garden, using advanced exhaust systems and saving energy on heating and cooling. The building will also be re-purposing part of an old building that stands on the site.
