LCC Downtown Campus

Lane community college downtown campus

RSA teamed up with SRG to design the new Lane Community College Downtown Campus (DTC). The fast-tracked project is a state-of-the-art example of mixed-use urban design with an emphasis on sustainability. The design features two L-shaped buildings nested on the site in a manner that places active uses at the perimeter of the site and shelters a courtyard and community gathering place within. One building is devoted to academic functions and the other provides convenient student housing in the heart of downtown Eugene. Our team developed a sustainable design on track to achieve LEED Gold for the housing portion. The project employs passive cooling, geothermal heat, and a 125kW photovoltaic system to achieve 50% savings over ASHRAE 90.1. Other features include rainwater harvesting, radiant floors and ceiling panels, and extensive reliance upon day lighting.
