Collin College | Allen, TX, USA

How a US technical campus is successfully inspiring a future generation, meeting ecological challenges, and supporting equality in the trades through practical planning.

This bar is more than 182 metres long but only about 24 metres wide on the north and south ends. The combination of berms at the lowest level and sizeable top-floor cantilevers sheltering generous terraces on the ends means the academic bar, when seen from the highway or the nearby houses, appears as a one-storey volume clad in Swisspearl panels.
