OPN ARCHITECTS + <br />CITY OF LITTLE CANADA 15 <br />Following a derecho in 2020 that destroyed the existing clubhouse on a public <br />golf course, there was an opportunity to re-imagine how a new clubhouse could <br />take advantage of the extraordinary views while creating a community gathering <br />space. <br />The new clubhouse, which has been verified net zero for energy efficiency, opens <br />up to views of the 18th green and pond capturing the beauty of the 120-year- <br />old course. The clubhouse is organized around a porch created by a single-slope <br />roof that continues from exterior through the interior, connecting lower and <br />higher volume spaces and opening up to the golf course. The interior spaces <br />are organized axially along the porch with multiple entry points connecting to <br />the high-traffic concessions and pro shop inside. The interior view corridor and <br />circulation along the porch terminates at an inset patio that provides additional <br />covered seating and adjoins an interior community room. <br />Corrugated metal panels along three sides of the new clubhouse transition to <br />alternating vertical spans of curtainwall facing the course. The structure, skin, <br />glazing, and all systems are set on a strict building module that is carried into <br />details such as the exposed metal panel fasteners, rain chains, and center <br />concessions counters and casework. Photovoltaic panels cover the roof, <br />offsetting electricity use to achieve a net zero goal. <br />Interior functions are organized around a charcoal gray form that is carved away <br />to reveal a continuous white clad transaction counter and bar that intentionally <br />contrasts with the rest of the volume that features polished concrete floors, <br />exposed painted steel structure, and structural wood roof deck. <br />Location Cedar Rapids, Iowa <br />Year 2022 <br />Delivery Design-Bid-Build <br />Size 5,820 square feet <br />Cost $2,100,000 <br />Contact David Roe, PGA <br /> Golf Operations Superintendent <br /> (319) 286-5580 <br /> D.Roe@cedar-rapids.org <br />Relevant Project Experience <br />Ellis Golf Course Clubhouse <br />Net-zero clubhouse embraces role as community gathering space <br />VERIFIEDNET-ZERO
