The Digi-Tech Factory is a striking new four-storey building at City College Norwich (CCN)
Address: City College, Ipswich Rd, Norwich NR2 2LJ, United Kingdom`
This building was designed as part of the Norwich City Collage. It was designed as a teaching and learning space that feels more like a professional environment than a classroom.
It is a three-storey building with a sawtooth roofline, wrapped in a perforated screen facade. It also has a large entry canopy and covered plaza.
A vast central atrium offers more than a circulation corridor, with versatile working and socialising spaces. The thoughtful designs shift from the standard school-like environment, offering a creative industry atmosphere to energise students and prepare them for future employment.
I-beams are used around the structure of the Digi-Tech Factory to hold the outer envelope.
The I-Beams are held with a series of columns and beams.
As in the photo, you can see the i-beams connect the two structures.
