The Southeast Campus’ objective is to create additional facilities at the campus which will satisfy the needs of the growing student population. Prior to this project, there was very little space for students to meet, eat cooked meals, relax, and have fun while on campus. For example, this building includes space committed to the enjoyment of different types of games and activities including karaoke. The building also houses office space for the student life coordinator, the sports director, student government, and various student organizations. Furthermore, a large space has been dedicated to tutoring students, including one-on-one, small and large groups. The existing buildings are a patchwork of different materials. This student center combines three of the most common materials on campus to begin to begin developing some continuity.

Workforce Center

HCC has made a commitment to train students in different types of workforce programs. In this facility, the programs include welding and HVAC, electrical / industrial automation. To support these programs, additional classrooms have been provided along with office space giving students easy access to their faculty. The building has been located at the back of the site to facilitate deliveries and to minimize the impact from noisy activities at the building. Masonry and metal panels were selected to match materials from the two buildings in closest proximity to the workforce center.
