George G. Beasley Broadcast Complex
Appalachian State University
The existing building on the site was demolished due to floodway issues, and salvaged stone from the existing Depot building was reused to create a screen wall around a new plaza area fronting Rivers and Depot Streets which depicts the historic Depot Building once on the site.
The site required the installation of an intermediate foundation support system due to poor subsurface conditions. A new, 18,144 square foot building was constructed on the site to accommodate the University’s TV and Radio stations, along with classroom and office space for the Communications Department. The building is three stories plus an 8,286 square foot open-air parking garage at ground level, and it utilizes a rain water harvesting system.

Appalachian State University Stadium
Boone, North Carolina
The project consisted of a new baseball stadium with a seating capacity of 600, a new main campus entry and a streamscape with bike paths and pedestrian walkways. The stadium was constructed on top of a mountain above the existing football field and required extensive earthwork. The new entry road is four lanes and is elevated to tie into a widened section of Highway 321. The streamscape is constructed between the new entry road and the recently completed central energy plant. It includes bike paths, pedestrian walkways and site furniture.
Appalachian State University Central Energy Plant
Boone, North Carolina
The new central boiler plant replaces an aging facility, which lacked the capacity to keep up with future campus growth. The new facility, located on an adjacent site, is designed to accommodate anticipated future growth needs, improve air quality and address flood way issues, which currently impact the existing plant. In addition, the new facility is designed to aesthetically minimize the impact of a facility of this nature on the central campus. It is designed to be compatible with adjacent campus buildings while concealing much of its mechanical nature. The 180′ tall stack has been enclosed to suggest the image of a bell or clock tower. The existing fuel oil tank has also been screened from view by a new brick masonry enclosure, which harmonizes with the new boiler plant. Other improvements include an enhanced streamscape / bike way and a new quad / plaza area.
