FWA | RCC Lifelong Learning Center

The Lifelong Learning Center is the new home for continuing education programs for the college and the surrounding community. As the first building of the new campus master plan, the tower at the main entrance will in time mark the center point on campus. Exterior materials were chosen to compliment the existing campus architecture and introduce new materials and details to serve as a basis of design for future buildings.

The building contains flexible computer classroom spaces, multipurpose classrooms, seminar rooms, conference spaces, spaces for catered events, and offices for administration. The multipurpose classroom and seminar room are divided by moveable walls to accommodate various functions ranging anywhere from emergency medical service training to computer based business classes, or police force self-defense classes to standardized testing.

Inside, a naturally lit clearstory with exposed structural elements and a balcony overlook make up the entry lobby. The one-story volume on the right side of the building utilizes brick color, square windows, and simple detailing to mirror the existing campus. The main entrance tower introduces new brick color, concrete block, window shapes, and detailing to the campus. The remaining facades of the building connect the two styles to create a connection between the new and old campus aesthetic.
