After our visit to Comanche, Oklahoma, back in April, the IQC team got to work designing a new community center concept for the town. These are the graphics depicting our final design. The site of the previous Woodrow Wilson building is on a huge empty lot of which the city of Comanche has obtained a majority. We developed a site plan for the entire lot for the future development of Comanche's main civic center. In addition to the community center, Comanche would like to build a new city hall, a police station, and a fire station. The potential fire station, which would have 8 to 10 bays, is located at the corner of two streets, right next to a major highway to quickly respond to many areas within the county. The city hall is located overlooking the highway. There is a steep drop off right before the highway, so the city hall would have an excellent view looking east. The community center is located to the west on the remains of the Woodrow Wilson building. A roundabout to the north would connect the community center and city hall, providing some additional parking and a drop-off area. In between all of the buildings is a park. There is a linear path that creates a physical and visual connection between the two main buildings. Although not included on the plan, there is space for a police station to be constructed next to the city hall. Final Plans |
In my previous post I outlined the beginning steps of my first "real-world" project that wasn't related to school. While it took significantly more time than planned (thanks to my laptop permanently dying on me and having to juggle time with my primary job), I got it done. It feels good to have done it 100% on my own with only the aide of my partner and to have successfully navigated the world of architectural drawings. We measured the outside of the building from top to bottom, and every single room inside of it, then made it in digital form. |
