The Wake Tech Northern Campus expansion project was a Construction Manager at Risk by Clancy & Theys Construction Company and included 26 acres of site improvements and three individual buildings. The site improvements consist of clearing and grubbing, erosion control, mass grading, site utilities, soil stabilization and retaining walls, as well as asphalt paving, hardscapes, and landscaping. The three buildings consist of one three story physical education building, one single story applied sciences building and one central energy plant. All three structures have shallow foundations, a conventional steel structure, elevated concrete slabs, and load bearing masonry walls. The exteriors of all three buildings are comprised of PVC roofing, composite metal wall panels, and brick veneer. The interior of the physical education building contains class A and B office and administrative space, an atrium, classrooms, a test kitchen, and a gymnasium. The interior of the applied sciences building contains class B office space, and laboratories for Vocational Arts including electrical, welding, HVAC, audio visual communications, and plumbing. The interior of the central energy plant is unfinished and contains commercial boilers, chillers, and the associated process piping to support the HVAC loads imposed by the other two buildings, it is also designed to receive additional load for future buildings.
The physical education building and applied sciences building are both seeking LEED Silver Certification.
