Evergreen Valley College: General Education + Engineering Building

San Jose, CA

This design-build project, delivered in partnership with Bernards, marks a transformative period for Evergreen Valley College.

Cantilevered over the edge of a lake, the new, three-story classroom and office building seamlessly integrates with the campus, celebrating its context while respecting existing geometries. The building features 14 classrooms, six lecture classrooms, and two instructional labs. A newly designed promenade creates a clear separation between pedestrian and vehicular traffic, providing space for informal outdoor gatherings. Additionally, new landscape and hardscape areas enhance the connection between the General Education Building and the existing Physical Education Building.
