Spaces for Construction Trade Education
Santa Fe College Building Construction Institute

The 27,000 GSF facility, pre-engineered metal building provides teaching space for the Building Construction Institute at Santa Fe College.

The building features traditional teaching classrooms and large, open building trade studios to give students hands on experience in their respective trades including masonry, carpentry, electrical, HVAC and plumbing.

The building integrates many innovative approaches to LEED including solar hot water heating and solar power supplement. One unique feature of the building is that the building itself functions as a teaching tool, exposing much of the internal structure and systems.

The structural components of the building are a combination of pre-engineered metal building with insulated exterior gasketed panels and traditional construction techniques (CMU, drywall on metal stud, etc.).
