TYLER TECH - COWLEY COLLEGE

Located on the main campus of Cowley College in Arkansas City, KS, this education building houses the college’s Criminal Justice, Construction, Welding, and Cosmetology programs. Additional spaces for training in electrical and HVAC specialties are also included. Cutting edge technologies and innovative learning spaces were carefully incorporated and planned with educator input throughout the design process.

This pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) is designed with exterior brick accents to coordinate with the campus aesthetic. A large clerestory allows light along the main circulation at the center axis of the building. Public access to the Cosmetology Department for appointments is through the front of the building, while the access-controlled spaces provide several student break areas. The Criminal Justice department includes a training simulator and padded take-down areas. Interior materials are selected for longevity and durability for the specific needs of each unique space.

This facility was partially grant funded. In addition to design and engineering, our team provided support and design work for the grant application requirements.
