The facility contains classroom space, workshop space, faculty and staff office space, dining and food preparation space, plus HVAC and other building support spaces for the Building Trades Department.
Structure
Primary substructure systems include full/partial basement walls and foundations including strip footings, spread footings, grade beams, damp proofing, underdrains and a non-industrial type structural slab on grade. Primary superstructure systems include multi-story medium weight structure with reinforced concrete construction including pre-cast concrete columns, load bearing walls, pre-cast concrete beams and pre-cast concrete floor slabs. Primary roof structure system includes reinforced pre-cast concrete roof decks.
Building Exterior
Primary exterior wall systems include exposed pre-cast architectural concrete, concrete masonry units (CMU), wood siding and pre-coated metal panels. Primary glazing system is/are operable and non-operable aluminum framed units with insulating/non-insulating glass. Glazing is a combination of tinted and clear units. Entrance doors are primarily aluminum and glass storefront units in aluminum frames. Service doors are primarily metal leafs in metal frames.
Roofing
Primary roof system is an inverted roof membrane assembly (IRMA) system with extruded polystyrene board insulation. Roof drainage is by internal drains to an underground storm water system. There are areas of unit skylights.
Building Interior
Primary interior partitions are standard GWB walls, CMU walls and cast-in-place concrete walls. Interior doors are a combination of wood or metal doors set in hollow metal frames, with knob-type or lever-type hardware. Primary wall finishes are standard paint finish, ceramic tile and exposed concrete. Primary floor finishes are vinyl composition tile (VCT), sheet vinyl, carpet, ceramic tile and coated/uncoated concrete.

Until 2014, the building space heating and domestic hot water requirements where mostly met by the central BCIT heating plant (located in building SE8) and distributed to building NE1 through the BCIT district energy system. Small boiler where located in the building. mostly to cover domestic hot water loads in the summer when the central plant was down. In 2014, NE1 was disconnected from district energy, and three new natural boilers were install to supply both space heating and domestic hot water loads.
