TCC Chesapeake Academic Building

The Chesapeake Campus is the college’s “green” campus, sitting on 69 acres of land. The landscape includes protected wetlands and a tributary of the southern branch of the Elizabeth River. Green space from all buildings, especially the Chesapeake Student Center with glass walls that provide views of the open spaces. Students in the sciences enjoy the living laboratories with wildlife and birds, as the campus is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.

This project consisted of a new three-story, 62,296 square foot structure that accommodates academic and administrative functions.
