NCCU Collaborative Learning & Research Center Featured in Architect Magazine

We are thrilled to see the North Carolina Central University Collaborative Learning & Research Center (CLRC) featured in the April issue of Architect Magazine! This new center is to be a gateway into the university and true beacon for innovation for its students. The new center will serve as a bridge for students living off campus, the CLRC will open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to offer students access to resources where their learning can soar. The Center includes “state of the art” technology empowering students to innovate, while also offering quiet spaces to study.

The new CLRC embraces seamless integration of indoor/outdoor environments. This blurring of indoor and outdoor space harkens back to the welcoming and inclusive front porches of the residences adjacent to the center. This reinterpreted porch is highlighted by a covered canopy that expands the Center’s usable space, provides a transition between outdoors and indoors, and helps screen direct sun.
