RELEVANT PROJEC TSCURRICULUM VITAE

closely with stakeholders to analyze and understand the project from multiple perspectives before we ever truly start designing. The sketches and diagrams enclosed in this proposal represent very preliminary analysis, first thought sand reactions to what we know so far about the project - the program, the site and its surrounding context, as well as preliminary code and zoning requirements for the project.

The particulars of the site and existing buildings, paired with the requirement to keep the facilities operational during construction phases, present certain challenges and opportunities. The four concept schemes are an initial exploration of possible solutions, meant to be used more as tools for discussion and a starting point for collaboration, rather than design solutions. Each concept scheme has attributes that address a wide range of issues from architectural image and branding, to operational efficiency, future flexibility and expansion.

In addition, we analyzed two different building sites on the existing Sherman Way campus – the preferred southeast corner site, as well as the northwest corner. The analysis looked at the creation of construction zones and interim access points and routes through the site to accommodate on-going operations, staff parking and service deliveries, as well as construction needs. All schemes involve some temporary off-site parking for Lab staff and some scenarios look at temporary off-site construction space for job trailers, contractor parking, logistics staging and lay-down space. We also considered emergency and fire access for the different site scenarios.

Each of the site studies and planning concepts strived to develop schemes that represented distinct and clear ideas for supporting and improving operations, creating positive and efficient work environments while creating a campus that has a sense of place and meaning within the surrounding community.

LABORATORY FOOTPRINT

DESIGN INNOVATION CONCEPTS

� Maximize the integrity of the Laboratory Testing Zone by configuring storage for supplies, reagents, refrigeration and office space immediately adjacent in the Support/Office Zone

� Use Pass-Thru refrigerators integrated into the interface walls between the Laboratory and Support Zones, allowing for loading from the Support Zone and retrieval from the Laboratory Testing Zone

� Create enclosed laboratory spaces in the Laboratory Zone, as required, using modular wall systems such as the Fisher Hamilton Max/Wall system and its integrated bench components, thus allowing for highly flexible laboratory spaces, responsive to future reconfigurations.

SITE CONCEPT 1

ADVANTAGES � New building is contiguous with existing SWW building � Maintains circulation & building geometry � Loading dock central to both Existing & New buildings � Retains existing landscape @ front of SWW building � Dedicated service access off of Sherman Way � Good solar orientation

DISADVANTAGES � Very long building � Tight construction site (see construction phasing analysis) � Buildings are a long distance from the street (Sherman Way) � Proximity to noise & vibration of Rail Road

A2-5

SITE CONCEPT 2

ADVANTAGES � Stronger “Front Door”, updates building brand image � Offset/angle mitigates the “long” building perception � SW corner space for potential new loading dock, utilities, etc… � Retains existing landscape @ front of SWW building � Dedicated service access off of Sherman Way � Good solar orientation � “Pivot point” lobby area can be a social hub

DISADVANTAGES � Tight construction site (see construction phasing analysis) � “Long building” perception � Proximity to noise & vibration of Rail Road � Buildings are a long distance from the street (Sherman Way)

SITE CONCEPT 3

ADVANTAGES � Eases site constraints for construction (see phasing analysis) � Protected “Thrive” outdoor space with Amenity building � Segregates parking (safety) � Good solar orientation � Eliminate the “long building” perception � Multiple opportunities to link buildings via bridge or tunnel � New Image for the Campus � Clear separation of Pedestrian & Parking (safety) � New building is away from noise & vibration of Rail Road � Potential Phase 3

� Parking structure @ SE � New third building @ NE

DISADVANTAGES � Discontinuous lab—longer travel distances � Must build tunnel/bridge (cost issue) � Main Entry is less visible from street

SITE CONCEPT 4

ADVANTAGES � Eases site constraints for construction (see phasing analysis) � Protected “Thrive”/public space from street to Main Entry � Clear separation of Pedestrian & Parking � Contiguous lab flow � New Image for the Campus � New building is away from noise & vibration of Rail Road � Potential Phase 3

� Parking structure @ SE � New third building @ NE

DISADVANTAGES � Requires minor modifications to existing SWW � North/south orientation is not ideal for expansion

CONSTRUCTIONPHASING ANALYSIS

SCENARIO C – PHASE 2(relates to Site Concept 3&4)

1. Separates demo/construction from Lab operations -- minimal impact to Lab operations

2. Minimal impact to street traffic from construction

3. New building & landscape/ amenities reinforce & enhance Image/Campus

4. Future additional building & parking structure

SCENARIO C – PHASE 1(relates to Site Concept 3&4)

1. Relocate ~213 cars to temporary off-site parking

2. Maintain current access/flows

3. More room on-site for construction

4. Minimize construction traffic impact on existing lab operations

5. Loss parking here for temporary ramp

SUSTAINABLE IDEAS

CONSTRUCTABILITY � The structural module allows for flexible lab modulation and future growth

� Repetitious structural sizes translate into easier and more economic construction

� Strategic locations of columns provide open spans for planning the laboratory and support spaces

LOCAL CLIMATE ANALYSIS

PREVAILING WINDSWinds are mostly from the west and southwest at this project site. The stronger winds tend to be warmer, occurring between May and October at 10-15 mph in average. Consideration will be given to effective site planning to place outdoor spaces that are regularly occupied in protected areas.

RELATIVE HUMIDITYThis is a dry climate, with very dry days, particularly in warmer months. Nighttime humidity remains moderate. Low humidity means evaporative cooling is effective.

The graph shows only business hours (7AM-7PM), in which comfort can be provided through solar shading, evaporative cooling, and passive solar gain heating.

LOCAL CLIMATE ANALYSIS

SOLAR INTENSITYCloud cover at project location is relatively low, so intense sun on the building envelope will need to be mitigated through shading and material selections with high solar reflectance index (SRI). Good shading with vegetation and architecture can create excellent outdoor microclimates for pedestrians.

SOLAR EXPOSUREAll elevations at project site will receive some direct solar exposure in this location, especially during the warmer summer months. The building orientation should maximize the east and west exposure and provide good solar shading to the south that maximizes winter exposure for passive gain and minimizes high-angle summer sun.
