The Transportation of CCIS

The Transportation of CCIS

The transportation is the important part of our daily life, architects designed the CCIS building for convenience and daily use.        

Pedestrian, people who usually walk or take bus and LRT to school. Since there is no bus stop or LRT station around CCIS, they have to walk. Inside CCIS there is a tunnel that connect CCIS with Chemistry building, CAB, and Cameron Library. It helps people to avoid the cold weather  during winter by walking indoor.

There are also plenty of doors around the building. Therefore, student can get in from every direction. Also, some are one sided door that you can only go out the building but can’t get in through them, this design divides the pedestrian stream efficiently and the building will not be crowded around the doors. The double door controls the temperature well inside the building. The cold weather doesn’t affect the inside and the heat can’t escape.

The stairs in CCIS are zigzagged with hollow structure. This design saves more space, helps the natural lights to travel in the building, and distributes pedestrians to prevent accidents. There two major spots for four elevators, they provide convenience for the students, so they wouldn’t need to waste time on climbing the stairs.

For bikers there are two long racks in front and behind the building for people to  lock their bicycles. For those who drive their cars, there is a parking lot behind the building, located next to the Saskatchewan Drive NW,  which is convenient for people are coming from across the river. The payment option is either visitor or monthly parking.

The transportation of construction materials can come  in from back of the building either the parking lot or the engineering building. The skeleton of dinosaur is a way to transport history and knowledge. The coloured windows help  the transportation of sunlight that it will be less dazzling. The garbage bin outside each main entrance distributed the garbage efficiently.
