On a Mission

摘要

Gather, learn, access.These are three endeavors of college students everywhere. Fronting the Santa Clara, Calif.-based Mission College, a new student engagement center (SEC) strives to do this for its 8,000 students. It's a welcoming new gateway to the college enhancing community connections and renewing a sense of place. A landmark project for the campus, it revamps the entire entry and is the campus' first project undertaking of this scale under the construction management multi-prime (CMMP) delivery method.The center, along with a previous project, replaces the campus' demolished 235,066-square-foot main building built in 1979 and helps create an open space for an interdisciplinary plaza.
