Champlain College's new Business Center houses faculty offices, conference areas, instruction spaces, the division of business administration, marketing and public relations, and programs in e-business and multimedia communications. The 23,500 sf center and covered pedestrian loggia, along with the neighboring college buildings defines a new campus quadrangle. Exterior building massing and materials, such as brick and slate, minimizes the building's impact on the site and allows it to remain compatible with existing campus structures. Additionally, incorporating a natural daylighting strategy that utilizes skylights and glazed dormers will reduce energy consumption while maximizing interior light.
