Outdated Factory Transformed into LEED-Certified School
Active Chilled Beams, Dedicated Outdoor Air Help Building Achieve LEED Gold Certification
Engineers and architects took the seemingly impossible task of recycling an outdated industrial factory into a LEED-Gold showcase of some of the HVAC industry’s most innovative equipment for Asheboro, N.C.-based Randolph Community College (RCC).
Transforming the former 46,000-square-foot, $850,000 Klaussner Furniture Plant’s un-insulated brick shell into a high-efficiency educational facility proved challenging for two Raleigh, N.C., firms, consulting engineering firm Progressive Design Collaborative (PDC) and architecture firm Smith Sinnett Architecture.
