Photographers call the time around sunrise or sunset the golden hour, when warm, soft light bathes everything. Stepping inside San Jacinto College's new Anderson-Ball Classroom Building is like experiencing an all-day golden hour.
Laminated black spruce columns climb 40 feet to support double beams spanning a planked ceiling. Taking up one-third of the lobby's visible envelope, all this timber gleams amber-gold.
Beside catching the eye, this 122,000-square-foot building, which celebrated its grand opening Aug. 16, 2022, for now claims fame as the nation's largest mass timber instructional building.
