Text description provided by the architects. The Opportunity Center for Employment and Education (OCEE) is a breakthrough project that brings employment and social services agencies together in a central location on a community college campus. This one-stop worksource center provides improved service delivery in the heart of Seattle’s north end. The purpose of the facility is to welcome people, giving visitors and users new to campus a clear sense of access. The building is programmatically open, airy and easy to find on the campus. Simple, clear signage facilitates wayfinding, helping users to navigate through the building.

 Floor Plan

该项目是对一座70年代后张法混凝土建筑南端的扩建和翻修。该项目的轻钢框架“漂浮”在旧的，较重的混凝土结构，把建筑物连接在一起，无论在结构上还是视觉上。该建筑的方向最大限度地暴露在北光和南光，提供了重要的机会采光室内空间。

The project is an expansion and renovation to the south end of an existing 1970s post-tensioned concrete building. The project’s lightweight steel frame “floats” over the older, heavier concrete structures, tying the buildings together both structurally and visually. The orientation of the building maximizes its exposure to north and south light, providing significant opportunities for daylighting interior spaces.

现有的校园是沉重的，密集的，内聚焦和缺乏色彩。相比之下，OCEE内部和外部的材料和调色板与现有校园的灰色混凝土形成了清晰的并列。这座建筑的绿色屋顶已经把校园中心的一个原本单调、宽敞的混凝土广场变成了一个更吸引人的室外聚集地。多层中庭将新旧结合在一起，为校园社区提供了一个重要的便利条件：校园内唯一的封闭流通和聚集空间之一。

The existing campus is heavy, dense, inwardly-focused and lacking in color. In contrast, the materials and color palette on both the interior and exterior of the OCEE set up a clear juxtaposition with the gray concrete of the existing campus. The building’s green roof has transformed a formerly drab, expansive concrete plaza in the center of campus into a more inviting outdoor gathering space. The multi-level atrium stitches together old and new and provides an important amenity for the campus community: one of the only enclosed circulation and gathering spaces on campus.
