VCCS – Southside Virginia Community College – Christanna Campus

The proposed Technology, Innovation & Success Center (TISC) on Southside Virginia Community College’s (SVCC) Christanna Campus will bring together a variety of programs and functions that support “The New Virginia Economy” Workforce Initiative.

T&L is partnering with the Virginia College Community System (VCCS) and SVCC to provide full Service A/E design, bidding and construction contract administration services for the new TISC. Included among the program elements are:

• Career Center, Veteran’s Center, Credentialing Center, and an IT Networking and Security Training Laboratory.

Existing services to be relocated to the proposed facility include:

• Student Services, Financial Aid, Admissions and Records, Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC), and IT Services. The CLC will replace the existing campus library.

The new facility will provide the resources and support needed to enable citizens across the region the opportunity to participate and succeed in all areas of post-secondary education and training.

The goal and vision of the new TISC is to ensure a workforce across Southside Virginia that is trained, credentialed, and ready to work while also providing a focus and iconic identity for both the campus and student population.

Bids for the project were opened on June 28, 2018 and the results were excellent. A total of six bids were received.

Construction began in August 2018.

Russell Hall Renovations

T&L was selected by the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) to provide architectural and engineering services for the Renovation of Russell Hall on the Southwest Virginia Community College (SWVCC) campus. The conceptual goal was to provide Health Sciences educational spaces by an adaptive reuse of a two-story, library wing of Russell Hall (which was relocated elsewhere on campus).

The adaptive reuse project provides the proper spaces to meet student and community service needs in Health Technologies programs (Nursing, RN, and LPN), Radiology, Respiratory Care, Emergency Medical Services Technology, Occupational Therapy, and Health Sciences. These programs were originally scattered across the campus. The new Health Technologies and Science Laboratories capacity was programmed to be 331 seats.

Project components include:

• Distance learning classrooms, with flat screen and projection displays, two way video and audio, and smart podiums.
• Fully functional hospital beds with headwall units including data, power, gases, vacuum, and air.
• Relocation of lab equipment from the Booth Center in Grundy, Virginia to the former lecture rooms of Russell Hall to create chemistry and biology labs plus required support infrastructure (make-up air system for fume hoods and electrical/plumbing connections).
• Ambulance simulator in Emergency Medical Services learning lab.
• X-ray machine in Radiography learning lab.
• CNA, LPN, RN Simulator labs and testing room.
• Hospital Type water closets, lavatories and fittings in the open for training.
