Glencairn CIA Administration and Community Center

The new Glencairn Administration & Community Center is located on a reclaimed park site. The design approach seeks to visually minimize the loss of the areas finite green space by creating a see-through building. The 5,700 SF center has three components: the two-story glass enclosed lobby provides and allows views through and into the park, the multipurpose community room, constructed of double insulated glass panels, and offices and support spaces clad in brick and wood. Natural materials were selected for durability, accessibility and sustainability. Large roof overhangs that allow daylight while protecting the occupants from the glare and heat of direct sun radiation.
