The $4.2 million renovation of the Bremer Student Center at Olympic College in Bremerton, Wash., included a renovation of the college bookstore and meets the campus design standards for exterior materials, which include prefinished metal panels, bricks and curtainwalls.
Approximately 4,500 square feet (418 m2) of Citadel’s Envelope 2000 Rainscreen System in Atlantic Sunrise and Shasta White by Citadel Architectural Products Inc., Indianapolis, were used for the project.
“Citadel was a very cost-effective solution compared to other metal panels,” said Ron Easterday, principal and project architect with Rice Fergus Miller Architecture & Planning, Bremerton. “This was a major teardown renovation of an aging building. One of our goals was to create a significant front entry to the student center that would serve as sort of a ‘beacon’ for the campus and make the building noticeable and identifiable. Although there was a modest amount of the Citadel material used, the panels made a significant impact. The new look for the student center has been very well received and brings the building into compliance with the new design vocabulary for the campus.”
Fabrication and installation of the Citadel panels was done by Northshore Sheet Metal Inc., Everett, Wash., and the distributor was Pacific Architectural Products, Clackamas, Ore.
