Majors Bookstore & Classroom Building
Central Piedmont Community College
This building houses a collegiate and retail bookstore on the street level. The two upper levels house general classrooms, faculty offices, and a Small Business Education Center. The building's main entrance is located on the corner of the site enabling the bookstore and the upper level of classrooms to share a common entry lobby for clear circulation and security.

The design for the new Majors Bookstore and Classroom Building located on Central Piedmont's main campus is an extension of the new revitalized image of the campus. The new building serves not only as an anchor collegiate building, but also as a liaison between the College and an adjacent historic neighborhood. The predominant architectural image of the building is its collegiate identity, reinforced by the use of brick and precast in the facade.

The project also addressed numerous aspects of sustainable design. A holistic approach was used in order to implement various strategies that reduce the building's impact on the environment and maximizes building energy performance and efficiency.
