Expanding horizons, showcasing innovation, and empowering trades with Francis Tuttle's new campus building

Design Brief

Francis Tuttle’s desire to continue their reach and expand class offerings resulted in a new building on their existing Reno campus. The design of the new facility supports the needs of the diverse student population and is reflective of the school's expanded trade offerings -- Industrial Controls, Welding, and Construction Trades.

Indoors, students are greeted by a reception and spacious lounge area which also doubles as a safe room / shelter. Linear lighting runs throughout, providing added interest and a playful edge to the industrious building. Three large bays fill the remainder of the space; each with windows to view trades from the main public corridor.
