Linn-Benton Community College - Chinook Hall
The remodel of this building and site allowed LBCC to expand and improve services to students in the Corvallis area and was a complete renovation and remodel of an existing building with full site rework. Construction involved a major renovation to an existing concrete structure, formerly a United Rentals warehouse. Gerding completely demoed the interior, strengthened structural cracks and imperfections, added support columns reinforced with Fiber Resin Polymer (FRP), and cut in window and opening spaces per design.
The interior framing assembly was comprised of metal stud and concrete with metal decking for second floor assembly. The 10,806 sf first floor included a classroom with movable partition to divide, along with storage and conference space, an open/commons area, science storage and classroom, mechanical, elevator and toilets. The 10,209 sf second floor included classrooms, space open to the first story, elevator, toilets, office and study space, storage areas (including janitorial) and an IT closet.
