NavCenter Two Facility layout
May 14 Sketch - on site visit
 
Note: this drawing is flipped in relationship to other versions as the Entry was facing the team when I sketched it
 
The major components of this design are: the Armature system; hand railing - a scaled down version of the Library Building; classic iron circular stairway to first floor (option) and loft areas; ridge skylight at roof (traditional detailing); Double wood and glass doors at the Entry of the space (both floors if first floor option is executed); in the ceiling/Loft area, a sound insulated dividing wall across the center closing the HVAC equipment from the the new Reading/Dialog spaces.
 
 
This schema creates three spaces each with their own character and functions. The first level for large group (+/- 75) work in a wide spectrum of different configurations typical of a NavCenter; the second level for team breakouts and project areas (4 to 12); third level for three separated reading and dialog areas for 6 people each. The three levels will be open vertically [link: section] and have natural light from two sides, the skylight and the exiting (now closed off) high window in the loft area.
