The Butte-Glenn Community College District Welding & Manufacturing Building Project is the district’s first Design-Build project. The project provides a new 60,283 SF state-of-the-art, vocational education-welding and manufacturing center that allows the District to double its state and nationally acclaimed welding and manufacturing technical education program and meet industry demand for a skilled and trained workforce. The facility includes 12,690 ASF fully conditioned one-story administrative/classroom wing. The one-story administrative/classroom areas are connected to a 29,894 ASF, 24-foot clearstory semi-conditioned building structure that houses two 9,242 SF welding laboratories each with 46 custom designed welding booths and one 11,525 SF manufacturing laboratory.
As the use of design-build continues to grow across all sectors, so has the number of impressive project success stories. This year’s award winners lead the industry by delivering some of the most extraordinary design-build projects in the nation.
