Battle Creek, Michigan

Davenport College of Business

$1.2 million

Description
Site improvements included parking for 200 cars, future parking for an additional 50 cars and landscape of an urban site formerly covered with residential properties.

The building includes 11,320 square feet for administrative offices, student lounge, classrooms, conference learning center, computer lab and a medical teaching lab. Plans also include 9,520 square feet of unfinished space for future expansion.

The building site is on a prominent axis between Battle Creek's Historic Federal Center building and the west end of downtown Michigan Avenue. The context of the building and prominence of its site were important factors in the form and placement of the building. These elements had to be balanced within a tight budget and construction schedule.
