Norco College Center for Student Success

Norco, California

New Student Services and Dining Facility

Info

"Before, student activities were spread around campus. Now, it's a hub for students."

Monica Green, Dean of Student Services
  • Student Success.The Center for Student Success brings new opportunity for student success to a growing community college campus. The facility's design, placement on site, and transparency encourages students at the commuter campus to linger after class, participate in student activities on campus, and become part of the campus culture.


  • Technology was used to enhance the access and exchange of information. Plasma T.V.'s and digital signage deliver information to the students.
  • The transparent wall and the exterior of the building allows for passer-bye's to connect with the activities on the inside.
  • Dramatic lighting invites the students into the building.
  • The Student Lounge overlooks the dining area allowing the students to visually connect through the building.
  • A large overhang allows for solar protection while creating a large outdoor space.
