New Division A Headquarters in full operation

RSC Architects recently completed this $2.7 million facility, located nearby the Aeroflex Airport in Andover, NJ, to replace the existing Division A Headquarters. The 16,000 s.f. building will serve as the new headquarters for the State of New Jersey Forest Fire and Forest Management Office for the northern region of the state.

The design provides space for administrative offices, central communications and training rooms, as well as an apparatus area for servicing forest fire fighting vehicles. The apparatus area provides for a variety of needs from storage of parts and equipment, to a fabrication bay and vehicle painting booth. Portions of the facility are open to the public, such as an information area, while others are accessible only to forest fire personnel during either normal working hours or for accessing special equipment during emergency calls.

In order to maximize the budget and provide the greatest flexibility of space for the project, both modular and traditional construction techniques were utilized. A pre-engineered structure, providing a clear span of 85 feet at two different heights was used to distinguish the administrative portion of the facility from the apparatus area. Pre-engineered roof and wall components were also used at the apparatus portion of the design where aesthetics were not an issue. Conventional metal stud framing encloses the administrative area which is finished with cultured stone.

RSC Architects has recently completed the state-of-the-art Culinary Arts Institute at Hudson County Community College (HCCC). This new facility accommodates the culinary arts program’s continued growth and provides unparalleled educational opportunities for students. The new Culinary Arts Institute has allowed HCCC to nearly double its program enrollment.

RSC created a carefully phased plan that would allow the existing facility to remain fully operational during construction, and provide a turnkey transition when students returned to classes this past September.

The design of the new five-story Culinary Arts Institute complements the surrounding historical architecture of Journal Square, and includes professional amenities that are every chef’s dream: multiple specialty kitchens with labs, an ice carving studio, a library of antique and rare cookbooks, and a 60-seat fine dining room. “Smart” classrooms offer the latest in wireless technology and design of cooking equipment.

Phase II of the project is now underway to create additional hands-on kitchen and classroom spaces, as well as a 300-seat banquet hall to host high-profile community and business events.

Thanks to successful projects like the Culinary Arts Institute, RSC has proudly earned the designation of on-call architect for Hudson County Community College.
