FWA | RCC Facilities Master Plan

Collaborating with the President's Executive Staff at the community college, FWA designed possible locations for future planned projects for the campus. Various options were explored to reinforce ideas of pedestrian connectivity, establishing hierarchical focal points, framing natural views, and to beautify the campus with trees to shade parking areas. The facilities master plan helped the community college to visualize their ten year plan.

Rockingham Community College is a campus nestled within the natural surroundings of tree clusters and green ways. Parking and vehicular traffic occur to the outskirts of the campus as much as possible allowing the inner campus to have an emphasis on the pedestrian and the existing landscape. As the campus considers future growth and development, it is important that the key concepts are continued. Leading up to the final master plan, the following early schemes were explored:

	Scheme A exhibited the expansion of the campus along a pedestrian axis from the Administrative Building to the Historic Village. Emphasis on focal points at specific locations such as the tower at the main entrance of the Lifelong Learning Center was proposed to create hierarchical interest throughout the campus.
	Scheme B explored the campus expansion occurring in a cluster of buildings near the library and near the campus main entrance.
	Scheme C depicted the development of new projects to continue in a cluster around the parking lot to the west of the gym.

Ultimately, a combination of Schemes A and C were further developed to establish the final facilities master plan.
