The Islamic Institute of Orange County is a community center and school serving the Islamic Community from Anaheim and Central Orange County. The Center is approximately 30,000 square feet, and concrete masonry block was chosen as the most economical method of construction. It is also aesthetically reminiscent of the stone buildings that dominate the Middle East.
FTR International was responsible for the design and construction of the Center, located on State College Boulevard near the 91 Freeway. The design incorporates extensive use of concrete masonry units with bands of smooth and split face block alternately striping the elevation, giving the design a Middle Eastern architectural influence. The base stones are both split face and scored, emphasizing the horizontal design. The window bays are cantilevered through the elevation, flooding the interior spaces with light. The building also includes a complete commercial kitchen used by both the school and community center.
