Overview
Prime Architects designed a 10,000 SF administrative and training facility for the Oklahoma Safety Council in Oklahoma City. The building splits into a 5,000 SF office and classroom wing and a 5,000 SF high bay training hall. Construction was phased so training could continue during the work.
Technical Scope
- Architecture/Interiors: Reception/lobby, administration offices, break room, restrooms, supply/storage and classroom training space in the office wing. 20-ft high bay training area for hands-on exercises, with mezzanine storage served by an electric forklift.
- Electrical/Daylighting: Solatube tubular daylighting in the high bay to reduce daytime electric lighting.
- Assessment/Pre-design: Site visits and user interviews to set the program.
Challenge and Solution
The owner’s training programs could not stop during construction. The work was phased to keep the active training environment operating.
