Florida Community College

Client: Florida Community College System, Jacksonville, FL

Barrett Studio Architects worked with the staff of the Florida Community College of Jacksonville to establish educational design criteria for creating a program in the conversion of a 270, 000 SF failed shopping mall into a place for adult learning.  This campus combines distance learning with a highly interactive on-site exchange between students and faculty.  As Educational Design Consultant, David Barrett worked in a team arrangement with Thompson, Ventulett and Stainback Architects and Brown and Root General Contractors to create an "open campus" that transformed a defunct commercial shopping center into a state of the art, high tech/low touch learning community.
