Suffolk County Community College Peconic Building Partial Renovation Design Services
LiRo Architects + Planners was charged with the design of a precedent-setting Student Services Center for Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) to facilitate their students' interaction with College administrative functions, enhance the quality of service provided, create administrative efficiencies, and create a new and positive experience for both students and staff.
The one-stop concept is an evolving trend on college campuses resulting from technological change, increasing enrollment, changes in the attitude of students who have grown up in a world with immediate access to goods and services, and the diminishing administrative resources of institutions of higher learning. LiRo's design leverages new technologies to provide a functional, flexible and attractive Student Center that embodies the dynamism of the College's vision.
The Center will be a stimulating and comfortable environment for both students, who might spend extended periods of time researching and transacting their business, and staff who spend their working hours there. The center will be a vibrant place where activities overlap fluidly. The Center's planning reflects a dynamism that supports discrete functions while facilitating fluid transitions between activities. While serving the functions envisioned today, the Center has been designed to support the goals of the program tomorrow; incorporating sufficient flexibility to facilitate change as the College's experience with the new delivery method evolves.
