Congratulations to HPI Architecture and the entire project team for the 2024 Concrete Masonry Design Awards Competition - Merit Award for Education Design. BKF was a proud member of the team that provided preliminary and final design engineering for the Welcome Center. The building is a statement-making focal point at the Main Campus entry, featuring civil design elements that include a water feature of a water quality basin with wildlife statues.
We are excited to share that the Moreno Valley College Welcome Center has been honored with a 2024 Concrete Masonry Design Awards - Merit Award. The single story, 17,300 SF Welcome Center hosts a range of essential programs to the student population including Outreach, the Dream Center & First Year Experience, Admissions and Records/Cashier Services, Student Financial Services/Student Employment, Counseling, and the Common Ground Center, providing dedicated support for LGBTQ+, Umoja, and Puente communities. The design integrates several sustainable principles: from its energy efficient design to its conscious use of resources. It stands as a shining example of how architectural design can harmonize seamlessly with environmental stewardship. Thank you to the amazing Project Team. Your unwavering commitment and creativity have made this achievement possible! #DesignExcellence #ProjectSuccess #TeamAchievement #DesignAward (MHP Structural Engineers, BKF Engineers, RIDGE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, OCMI, Inc.
