Project Description
GPA was commissioned to provide planning and conceptual design services
for three new buildings on the Valley College campus for the San
Bernardino Community College District. A seismic fault traversing the
campus required special consideration in the design and placement of
the buildings.
The Media Communications Building provides leading facilities for the
faculty and production facilities for the local TV and radio station
KVCR. The facility concept was based on the following considerations:
- Shared use with maximum flexibility for teaching and production
- Interior circulation patterns cognizant of providing a logical “tower route” that doesn’t disturb the work being conducted
- The entire space should be open, light and bright
