Mid-Ohio Valley Center

This building is developed in only one story and has 15,500 sq. ft. It has an almost square plan, with white painted bricks walls, and its fenestration is performed by a series of ample, square windows. The whole building looks soft, continuous, and at ease with the site, because of its round corners. It expresses that teaching and learning needs some kind of privacy and closure. The entrance is emphasized with an neat change of criteria: three recessed cubes, each one covered by a hipped metal roof, suddenly interrupt its introspected, inner driven character, and mark the entrance.



Here, the horizontal sides that stands above the rounded columns, are coming from the side walls, but have been streamlined by the use of three recessed white brick courses. The openings now are almost all transparent; showing clearly that the building is also opened to the community.
