How do you transform a satellite campus into a place where students want to hang out? This was the challenge that the Contra Costa Community College District had for the team at Noll & Tam. The existing San Ramon Campus was a single building that provided excellent educational offerings but lacked “linger and learn” spaces. By increasing gathering and breakout spaces, and adding a café, our design encourages students to stay a while. Additionally, existing classrooms were reconfigured to house an Anatomy & Physiology Lab, and the second phase added a Library/Academic Support Center to make this location feel like a complete campus.
