Institute delivers quality education in the fields of business, computers, medicine
and the law. Everest is a branch of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (NasdaqNM: COCO),
one of the largest for-profit postsecondary academic systems in the country. With
over 52,000 students in its system, Corinthian Colleges has expanded into 21 U.S.
states and seven Canadian provinces since 1995. One of their newest locations
is the Everest Institute campus in Ft. Worth, Texas. The new campus will offer
associate of applied science degrees in medical assisting, business administration
and criminal justice.
In October, 2003, Corinthian Colleges chose to locate the new institute in the first floor of a 66,000 SF tilt-up construction building planned for Mercantile Partners in Ft. Worth’s Mercantile Park. Corinthian and Mercantile Partners retained Bob Moore Construction as the general contractor and Hardy McCullah/MLM Architects, Inc. to design the finish-out in conjunction with the building’s construction. In April, 2004 the building was completed, in time for classes to start in the Fall 2004 semester.
The building was designed to include several special features needed for Everest Institute:
- The building features a large medical lab / class room, with an open area for student work tables, medical cubical curtains and patient tables to emulate operating room and treatment room environments, and a wide range of medical equipment.
- Around the institute are eight PC labs. Each lab has more than 20 student computers with monitors recessed into the desktops, and hidden network/power cabling to maximize safety and aesthetics.
- The club-styled student lounge is finished with a red / black / silver color scheme. A silver corrugated steel panel with a wave-cut design spans one wall, with large wood tiles cut in a matching wave design covering another. The room is finished with a split-finish floor design, red and black tables and chairs and vending machines.
- Other rooms include traditional class rooms, faculty offices, a break area, meeting rooms and cubicle space for administrative employees.
- The building was created using tilt-up construction. The shell is comprised of 105 panels, each weighing up to 80,000 lbs.
- Each corner of the building showcases a two-story curtain wall of windows.
- The lobby features a curved balcony and Pantheon Greek Lido tile flooring.
