Eau Claire, WI (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
The new, $44.5 million Centennial Hall has opened on the campus of the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Eau Claire. National architecture and engineering firm SmithGroupJJR partnered with La Crosse, Wisconsin-based River Architects to design the 182,000-square-foot building.
Centennial Hall houses the College of Education and Human Sciences and consolidates teacher education that was previously split among three buildings dating back to the 1950s. It is the first new academic building on the UW-Eau Claire campus in more than 30 years.
SmithGroupJJR and River Architects worked extraordinarily well together to create a beautiful and functional structure, said Dr. Gail Scukanec, dean of the UW-Eau Claire College of Education and Human Sciences. The new Centennial Hall allows for greater operational efficiencies and greater collaboration."
The four-story building, located between Schneider Hall and Zorn Arena in the central campus mall area, also houses the Departments of Education Studies, Special Education, English, Languages and select student support services. Major spaces are dedicated to distance education, active learning classrooms, teacher education methods labs, general labs and open study areas, along with a total of 165 offices. Noteworthy are Centennial Halls 19 general assignment classrooms ranging from one 160-seat to five 45-seat rooms that offer significant new classroom space for use by the entire campus.
Students have a variety of choices for their collaborations. Options include informal living room spaces scattered throughout the building, ranging from quiet, four-student nooks to a bustling, multi-story cyber caf with views of the Chippewa River, which runs through the campus and inspired the buildings playful, undulating south faade.
Design features nighttime presence, glass artistry honors the Hmong people With its brick and stone exterior, Centennial Hall was designed to complement the campus oldest building: the circa-1916 Schofield Hall, which it faces from across the quad. The new building also blends harmoniously with the new Davies Student Center and venerable Schneider Hall.
Among Centennial Halls most dramatic design features are the buildings multi-story, glass corners that offer light-filled, social interaction spaces during the day.
As night falls, the glass corners act as beacons of light, earning them the nickname of lanterns,' said Coty Sandberg, LEED AP BD+C, SmithGroupJJR project designer.
The design team maximized the amount of natural light drawn deep into the building to provide a bright indoor environment to its users. In addition to the buildings lanterns, designers strategically located windows to allow all public corridors outside views at the end. A rhythm of tall windows and glassy, multi-height spaces are prominent throughout the building.

We might be surrounded by the built world, but the work of many architects only liveson paper, designing buildingsthat no one will ever experience beyond a rendering or model. It feels like wasted talent. Videogames and the architecture inside them, on the other hand, straddle the line between paper and reality. While you cant necessarily touch the city, you can viscerally experience it nonetheless.
A new videogame called HomeMake (raising funds on Kickstarter), takes you inside a glowing, sprawling world with the express purpose of exploring its architecture and winding streets. Traditional game play exists in the form of puzzles and getting from point A to point B, but by and large the point of HomeMake is to simply observe your surroundings.

TRA Snow and Sun, Inc., of American Fork, Utah, has recently provided their newly updated CAD details for their roof snow retention devices on their website - trasnowandsun.com.
Architects and specifiers are gradually moving away from keeping large volumes of information in their offices and many also work on their projects during non-business hours. They have indicated some preferences as to how manufacturers can assist them to make their jobs easier. One way is for manufacturers to provide online versions of their product data sheets, specifications and computer aided drawings.
TRA Snow and Sun President, Terry Anderson, patent holder on snow retention devices and other Snow and Sun products, expressed his desire to accommodate architects' wishes. "Obviously our world has changed. In the old days I would drop off a binder full of product brochures, specifications, and drawings at an architect's office, he would put it on his shelf, and then convert those later to use on his projects. I would make in-person calls to update that information. With the advent of our Information Age, most architects prefer a simpler and more timely and accurate method of obtaining their information."
Available now by choosing the "CAD Details" button on the main navigation bar at trasnowandsun.com, are details for Snow Brackets A-L, details for all concrete tile manufacturers, asphalt, slate, metal and ceramic tile manufacturers, and decorative snow maple leaves, moose, bear and others). There are also details for Gutter Brackets, Clamp-on Snow Fences, Deck Mount Snow Fences and their patented Ridge Riser.
Although the company still offers hard copies of all their information, they anticipate requests for information provided the old-fashioned way will continue to dwindle. Taea Hall, Marketing Director, is spear-heading the effort to put all of TRA's product details and drawings online, including their ventilation devices and solar mounting products. CAD Details helps TRA Snow and Sun stay more connected to architects and specifiers. Posting CAD Details on our website makes it easy to keep the information up to date and pertinent. Architects and specifiers dont have to worry anymore if our information is out of date."
TRA Snow and Sun, Inc., located in American Fork, Utah, offers Roof Snow Retention Devices, Solar Racking Systems and Roof Ventilation and Flashing Solutions. They provide all customers, from the individual homeowner to the big developer, free engineered designs for all their systems. For more information call Robyn Finch at TRA Snow and Sun at 800-606- 8980 or visit http://www.trasnowandsun.com.
