This project for Ranken Technical College involves building the college’s new Manufacturing Inc. building. As educational leaders, Ranken wanted to create a MicroEnterprise Program where students can learn and earn on campus. The building is a 24,000 SF Manufacturing Incubator/Training Center that provides students with an integrated, work-based experience. This facility is a combination of a pre-engineered metal building framework with exterior architectural enhancements of storefront glazing, custom color masonry, perforated metal panel to enhance the architectural metal panels. The entry lobby leads to a spacious corridor leading to the work cells, classroom space, break room, restrooms and offices. Architectural finishes include wall graphics in corridor and ceramic tile in restrooms. Each work cell is equipped with its own concrete apron drive-up and a motor-operated overhead door.
