Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Completed 1935
Built during the 1930s, when Argentina's economy was the tenth strongest in the world, the Kavanagh Building was one of the world's first reinforced concrete skyscrapers and for many years remained the tallest building in South America. Commissioned by Corina Kavanagh and designed by architect Sanchez Lago y De la Torre, the 31-story modernist structure juxtaposes five volumes in a triangular, stair-like configuration that served for many years as a representative symbol of modern Buenos Aires.
Fully equipped with central air conditioning, 12 Otis elevators, and state-of-the-art plumbing, the structure was carefully designed to be as slender as possible to avoid unnecessary weight. The Kavanagh building is located in historic Plaza San Martin, also the site of the British-designed Retiro Train Station, the French-inspired Circulo Militar, the Malvina War Memorial, the Palacio San Martin (currently home to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and the Plaza Hotel, one of the oldest and most traditional in the city.

Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city. Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon.
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case. Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect. The asphalt layer is minimal, confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The river-rounded pebbles of the base course layer tell the story of a roadway constructed originally from deficient materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock – a crushed and sieved mix from those same pebbles would suffice. Finally, from the moisture visible in the pothole, and the shape of terrain at the road shoulders, it is clear that poor drainage has contributed to the failure of this road. The conclusion is unequivocal; this road has failed and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.
