EXECUTIVE.SUMMARY

Over. the. past. few. years. a. paradigm. shift. has.been. occurring. at. the. Alaska. State. Libraries,.Archives.and.Museums ..A.dream.for.a.new.facil-ity.that.would.integrate.the.three.units.is.becom-ing. a. reality .. Simultaneously,. the. workings. of.the. Division. are. becoming. more. integrated. on.a.daily.basis ..These.changes.have.Alaska.on.tar-get.to.become.an.international.leader.in.service.delivery. for. libraries,. archives. and. museums ..This.report.summarizes.the.process.that. led.to.where.we.are,.presents.the.concepts.that.arose.from.the.process,.and.sets.a.course.that.will.lead.to.a.new.Library,.Archives.and.Museum.Facility .

At. heart,. this. project. is. about. protecting. Alas-ka’s. treasures .. The. existing. collections. of. the.Alaska.Libraries,.Archives.and.Museums.are.full.of.those.treasures ..Many,. if.damaged,.are. irre-placeable,.yet.they.are.housed.in.buildings.that.can. no. longer. adequately. protect. them .. The.storage.facilities.are.beyond.their.useful.life.and.beyond.capacity ..There.are.additional.treasures.within.the.State.and.beyond.that.will.eventually.find their way into the collections. This project promises.to.produce.a.facility.capable.of.receiv-ing. and. protecting. valuable. artifacts .. Alaska.deserves. to. see. the. existing. and. future. collec-tions.preserved.for.generations.to.come ..

The.project.has.three.key.goals:

•. Construct.a.new.building.that.will.protect.Alaska’s.collections.while.integrating.the.library,.archives.and.museum .

•. Improve.service.delivery.and.program.of-ferings.through.integration.of.the.three.groups .

•. Create.an.integrated.digital.portal.for.access.to.information .

Building Space RequirementsAfter extensive user interviews with staff mem-bers.and.stakeholders,. the.space.requirements.have. been. updated. and. described. in. detail .. In.summary,.the.new.facility.will.include.the.follow-ing.components .

•.. 124,000.sf.new.construction

•.. 80.basement.level.parking.stalls

•.. 40.surface.parking.stalls

•.. site.development.and.landscaping

OutreachInitial outreach efforts included stakeholder interviews. with. representatives. of. 35. groups.statewide. and. an. email. poll. of. other. state.libraries,.archives.and.museums.regarding.their.expansion.projects ..A.project.fact.sheet.outlined.the. project. need. and. approach .. A. project. bro-chure.was.distributed.with.presentations.to.the.annual.meeting.of.the.Alaska.Historical.Societies.and.Museums.Alaska .

More.recently,.a.series.of.public.workshops.and.discussions with staff has led to development of.an.updated.list.of.space.requirements.and.a.concept.design.for.the.new.facility .

Over. the. next. several. months. continued. state-wide.outreach.will.be.employed.to.educate.citi-zens.about.the.project.and.to.generate.feedback.on.the.design.concepts .


Alaska Division of Libraries, Archives and MuseumsThe.U .S ..Congress.established.the.Alaska.Histori-cal Library and Museum in 1900. The first cura-tor, Andrew Kashevaroff, was appointed in 1920 and. shortly. thereafter. the. Territory. assumed.responsibility.for. its.operations ..When.the.new.federal building (now the State Capitol) was fin-ished.in.1931,.the.Library.and.Museum.moved.to.that.building ..

A. new. museum,. built. by. the. community. of.Juneau,.was.turned.over.to.the.State.of.Alaska.in.1968.to.honor.the.centennial.of.Alaska’s.pur-chase ..At.that.time,.the.Alaska.Historical.Library.was. separated. from. the. Alaska. State. Museum.and.became.a.part.of. the.Alaska.State.Library,.which. had. been. established. in. 1955 .. When. the.Alaska.State.Archives.was.created.in.1970,.public.state.records.were.transferred.to.it.from.the.His-torical.Library,.which.retained.all.manuscript.and.photograph.records.and.papers.produced.by.the.private. sector .. The. State. Archives. entered. the.current.building.in.1975 ..The.State.purchased.the.Sheldon. Jackson. Museum. in. 1988 .. In. 1991,. the.Commissioner.of.Education.created.the.Division.of.Libraries,.Archives.and.Museums ..

STATEWIDE OUTREACH – EDUCATION LOOP


PROJECTFRAMEWORK

MissionThe.mission.of.the.Alaska.Division.of.Libraries,.Archives.and.Museums.is.to.preserve.Alaska’s.cultural.heritage.and.to.facilitate.access.to.information.and.resources.for.research.and.lifelong.learning ..

In.keeping.with.this.mission.to.better.protect.and.share.our.collections.and.to.improve.our.programs.and.services,.the.division.is.working.towards.consoli-dating.and.integrating.the.work.of.its.three.sections:.the.State.Library,.the.State.Archives.and.the.State.Museums ..A.new.building.should.help.us.to.work.more efficiently and effectively for Alaskans.

Alaska State LibraryThe. Department. of. Library. Service. was. estab-lished.in.1955.to.provide.library.service.in.the.Ter-ritory. of. Alaska,. to. serve. as. a. reference. library.for Territorial offices and libraries, to coordinate and.assist.library.activities.throughout.the.terri-tory,. and. to. administer. the. annual. grant-in-aid.to.incorporated.library.associations ...In.1959.the.Department.was.placed.within.the.Department.of. Education. for. administrative. purposes;. it.assumed.the.title.Alaska.State.Library ...The.His-torical.Library.separated.from.the.State.Museum.and.joined.the.State.Library.in.1968 ...This.section.of. the. library. is. now. known. as. the. Historical.Collections .

Alaska State ArchivesThe.Alaska.State.Archives.was.established.in.1970.and.opened.its.doors.to.the.public. in.1972 ..The.State. Archives. is. the. repository. that. preserves.the.government.records.of.Alaska’s.history.and.makes.these.records.accessible.to.its.patrons.in.a.safe,.professional.and.responsible.manner ..

Government. records. with. permanent. histori-cal. value. include. legislative. bills. and. histories,.audio. recordings,. meeting. minutes,. annual.reports,.birth.and.death.records,.naturalization.records,. incorporation. records,. court. and. pro-bate.records,.correspondence,.publications.and.other.agency-related.material ..The.Alaska.State.Archives. does. not. collect. personal. manuscript.records,. but. holds. records. dated. from. 1874. -..present,.with.the.majority.of.records.created.in.the.20th.century ..Areas.of.strength.include.ter-ritorial. and. state. governor. records,. territorial.court. records,. community-based. state. govern-ment.records,.and.state.era.legislative.records ..

Alaska State MuseumsThe. purpose. of. the. Museum,. created. in. 1900,.was.to.collect,.preserve.and.exhibit.the.territo-ry’s. objects .. Initially. the. collection. was. stored.wherever. space. could. be. found. with. no. provi-sion.made.for.public.access ..In.1920,.the.collec-tion.was.made.available.to.the.public.in.Juneau’s.Arctic. Brotherhood. Building. and. in. 1923,. the.Territory.assumed.responsibility.for.operations ..By. the. mid-1940s,. the. collection.had. outgrown.its.space.and.the.Museum.could.no.longer.ade-quately.store.and.display.its.materials ..In.1968,.in.honor.of.the.centennial.purchase.of.Alaska.from.Russia,.Juneau.citizens.implemented.a.sales.tax.to.help.fund.a.new.facility—the.existing.museum.facility—subsequently. turning. over. ownership.and. governance. to. the. State. of. Alaska .. Since.that.time,.the.Museum’s.collections.have.grown.from.5,500.to.27,000.objects ..The.Alaska.State.Museum.was.accredited.by.the.American.Associ-ation.of.Museums.in.1975.and.was.re-accredited.in.1987,.and.again.in.2001 ..

FUNCTIONALINTEGRATION

As.web-based.communications.and.digital.tech-nologies.become.increasingly.common,.a.grow-ing. national. and. international. trend. is. to. inte-grate. library,. archives. and. museum. processes,.bringing together the work of different institu-tions.into.one.or.two.integrated.agencies,.often.under.the.umbrella.term.‘memory. institutions .’.Functional. integration. emphasizes. the. simi-larities. between. library,. archives. and. museum.services. while. respecting. the. distinct. qualities.of. the. materials. being. managed:. publications,.archival.records.and.artifacts ..Not.only.does.the.integration.of.operations.provide.greater.access.to. a. wide. range. of. information. resources,. but.the. coordination. of. activities. also. allows. insti-tutions to offer extensive public services while maximizing.resources ..

While.each.type.of.material.–.publications,.his-torical. records,. or. three-dimensional. objects. –..presents. its. own. challenge. for. preservation,.description. and. access,. many. procedures. can.be coordinated effectively. For example, rather than.maintaining.separate.procedures.for.adding.new.items.to.library,.archives.or.museum.collec-tions,.an.integrated.approach.can.centralize.the.documentation. of. all. new. acquisitions .. Donor.information,. descriptions. of. new. accessions,.conservation. notes. can. all. be. consolidated;. as.

a.result,.everyone.in.the.institution.can.see.the.full. scope. of. new. holdings. and. establish. com-mon.priorities. for.action ..Similarly,. the.content.and. structure. of. library,. archives. and. museum.catalogs, finding aids, and other descriptive tools. can. be. coordinated. so. that. users. can.easily find a wide-range of relevant materials on. their. research. topic,. whether. the. items. are.publications,. historical. documents,. or. original.artifacts ..As.an.example,.the.description.of.a.pair.of beaded moccasins will be different from the description.of.a.booklet.on.Athabascan.clothing.or.of.a.historical.photograph.of.an.Athabascan.woman.in.traditional.clothing ..By.putting.those.descriptions. together. in. an. integrated. catalog,.the.user.can.access.core.information.about.each.item,.making. it.easier.to. locate.a.wide.body.of.information. and. resources. related. to. Athabas-can.traditions .

The. Library. Archives. Museum. Project. is. mov-ing.toward.functional.integration.in.many.of.its.library/archives/museum. operations .. In. particu-lar,.the.division.is.actively.investigating.new.and.coordinated.processes.for:

•. acquiring,. collecting. and. documenting. the.receipt. of. new. materials. to. support. a. com-prehensive.approach.to.acquisitions

•. identifying.and.liaising.with.potential.donors.to. coordinate. communications. and. support.positive.relationships.with.the.community

•. documenting.the.preservation.requirements.for. all. materials. in. all. media. to. prioritize.materials. at. risk. while. making. best. use. of.resources

•. providing. online. access. to. descriptions. and.catalogs to ensure users are able to find rel-evant.materials.from.throughout.the.institu-tion.regardless.of.format.or.type

•. digitizing.historical.materials,.from.historical.publications.to.archival.records.to.images.of.three-dimensional. artifacts,. to. provide. the.widest. possible. access. to. the. institution’s.holdings .

Staff members across the division are work-ing. closely. on. integration. initiatives,. bringing.together.their.unique.expertise.and.knowledge.and. looking. beyond. the. traditional. “silos”. of.libraries.versus.archives.versus.museums ..

The. goal. is. to. identify. new. and. creative.approaches. to. collecting,. documenting,. pre-serving.and.sharing.the.wealth.of.resources.that.illustrate.Alaska’s.past.and.present .

SPACE.NEEDSUPDATE

Through. numerous. stimulating. discussions.with the Executive Committee, staff and the Design.Team,.a.collaborative.method.of.working.emerged .. This. will. be. facilitated. by. an. integra-tion.of.spaces. in. the.new.facility ..Together.the.Library,. Archives,. Museum,. Administration. and.Technical.and.Imaging.Services.explained.to.the.Design.Team.what.services.they.provide.to.the.State.and.how.work.is.accomplished.within.their.current.space ..From.these.meetings.surfaced.an.understanding.of.what.each.section.shares.and.where potentially conflicting differences exist in the.program.requirements .. It. is. important.that.the.design.and.program.create.space.that.allows.collaboration in new and yet unidentified ways.

Each.section.collects,.preserves,.explains,.inter-prets,. shares. and. communicates .. Within. each.of. these. areas. are. both. nuanced. and. notice-able. procedural. distinctions .. The. Design. Team.worked. with. the. user. group. to. understand. all.the.possible.areas.of.integration.that.should.be.considered.during.the.programming.process.and.to find ways of addressing technical variations.

Collecting.is.done.both.through.outreach.result-ing.in.donations.and.through.systematic.collect-ing.and.purchasing ..New.materials.are.evaluated.for.issues.that.must.be.addressed.prior.to.being.entered. into. the. collection .. The. Museum. and.

Historical. Collection. (Library). have. the. most.issues. with. potential. contamination .. An. isola-tion. room. will. be. used. by. these. two. sections.and. by. Archives. when. necessary .. The. Museum.needs.a.direct.access.from.the.loading.dock.into.the.Exhibit.area.for. touring.shows ..Library.and.Archives. also. need. a. convenient. way. to. bring.materials. into. the. processing. area. from. receiv-ing ..The. loading/receiving.area.begins.the.back.of.house.integration.of.the.sections .

Material.preservation.involves.the.treatment.of.objects.for.contaminants,.repair.and.storage ..All.sections.have.some.level.of.paper.conservation,.so. an. area. to. serve. this. need. has. been. added.to the program. Storage has different security and.environmental.requirements.for.the.various.collections ..The.Museum.collection.requires.the.highest.level.of.security ..The.Museum,.Archives.and Historical Collections all require specific and. similar. environmental. controls .. Informa-tion. Service’s. (Library). Collection. is. browsable.and.has.the. lowest.security.and.environmental.demands ..The.various.collections.also.grow.or,.potentially, contract at different rates. A large secure. storage. area. shared. between. Archives.and.the.Historical.Collection.gives.potential.for.the.line.between.these.sections.to.move.as.stor-age.needs.change ..

The. preservation of these collections benefits all.Alaskans,.a.small.child.may.develop.a.lifelong.interest. in. history. by. visiting. the. Museum;. an.intern. for. a. State. Senator. may. look. for. prec-edent.in.the.State.Archives ..

Each.section.currently.“explains”.its.collections.through a different catalog system. The end goal.of.any.cataloging.system.is.clear.collection.access ..

When.visiting.the.new.building.looking.for.infor-mation.on.a.subject,.the.public.should.be.able.to.see.what. is.available.from.each.of.the.sections.without having to run to different locations and be.confused.by.numerous.cataloging.methods ..As. the. sections. develop. an. understanding. of.what.resources.each.has,.they.will.better.assist.patrons in their search for information. The staff is.also.looking.at.ways.to.make.cataloging.more.transparent .. These. issues. impact. the. building.program.in.a.number.of.ways ..

Upon.coming.into.the.new.facility.it.will.be.evi-dent. where. to. enter. the. Museum. Exhibit. area.and.how.to.access.the.other.collections ..There.will.be.one.entrance.to.a.reading/research.room.to. serve. Information. Services,. the. Historical.Collection. and. Archives .. A. service. desk. will. be.attended by staff who can direct patrons to items in all the collections or to another staff


member.who.will.help.with.the.search ..This.is.a.collection.for.all.Alaskans;.remote.access.should.be.as.comprehensive.as.possible ..

For the staff, collaboration will mean the poten-tial.of.cross-disciplinary.projects.with.the.goal.of.enriching.the.understanding.of.these.important.State resources. All staff from the Library and Archives and some staff from the Museum will occupy a mostly open office space and share a large.processing.area ..Special.project.rooms.will.be.located.around.the.building.to.facilitate.these.cross-disciplinary.endeavors ..

Each. of. the. sections. interprets and commu-nicates. its. collections. for. the. public,. though.method.and.level.of.interpretation.vary ..This.adds.to.the.discussion.of.overlapping.endeavors ..

Sharing. the. body. of. knowledge. stored. in. the.building and staff with greater Alaska is a primary goal. of. the. Library. Archives. Museum. Project ..Outreach. will. be. facilitated. through. the. use. of.distance.learning.technology.in.meeting.rooms ..

Spaces will be provided for visiting State staff and. Library. Archives. Museum. personnel. will.continue. to. share. their. resources. through. the.internet. and. through. actual. transport. of. items.throughout. the. State .. The. Museum. shares. its.objects.in.a.number.of.ways ..The.most.apparent.is. the. exhibit. hall. that. provides. large. numbers.of. visitors. a. broad. look. into. Alaskan. history ..Archives. and. Historical. have. very. similar. meth-ods.of.sharing.collections ..The.documents.need.to.be.monitored.at.all.times.and.do.not.circulate.outside.of. the.research.room .. Information.Ser-vices.has.both.a.circulating.and.non-circulating.collection ..

Understanding. how. each. section. shares. its.collection. was. essential. to. developing. the. pro-gram.for.each.viewing.area ..By.placing.a.secure.research.room.within.the.shared.reading.room,.Archives,. Historical. and. Information. Services.can work side-by-side, sharing material and staff resources ..There.are.also.ways.to.integrate.the.Museum.into.other.areas.of.the.building ..Exhib-

its. will. be. interspersed. throughout. the. facility,.possibly. suspending. items. from. the. ceiling. in.public.areas,.such.as.the.lobby,.and.sometimes.displaying.them.in.secure.cases ..Within.the.read-ing.room,.the.Museum.book.collections.will.be.accessible.to.the.public ..

Meeting.rooms,.classrooms,.and.an.auditorium.that.seats.120.people.will.be.used.for.numerous.educational functions. A store will offer items appropriate.to.each.of.the.collections.and.a.café.will.serve.the.public ..

The.centerpiece.of.the.building.is.the.main.lobby ..It. will. serve. not. just. as. a. passageway. to. other.rooms. and. a. large. social. gathering. area. but,.most. importantly,.a.place.where.the.extraordi-nary. nature. of. this. program. will. unfold. to. the.visitor ..This.building.aspires.to.support.a.new.era.of. collaboration. between. the. Library,. Archives.and.Museum,.enriching.the.lives.of.all.Alaskans.with.its.rich.resources .

The.initial.design.ideas.for.the.new.Alaska.State.Library.Archives.and.Museum.Project.were.developed.through a series of staff and commu-nity.workshops.beginning.in.April.of.2010 ..During.the.workshops.a.series..of.themes.emerged ..These.themes..are.used.to.guide.the.design.process:

Our Goals. The.Building.must:

•. Fit.into.Juneau’s.historic.urban.fabric,.while.creating.a.vibrant.Library.Archives.Museum.that.celebrates.the.State.of.Alaska’s.past,.present.and.future .

•. Integrate.and.streamline.Library,.Archives.and Museum operations for greater efficien-cy.and.responsiveness.to.the.public .

•. Increase.virtual.access.to.the.collections.and.resources.for.the.State’s.residents.and.beyond ..

• Be lasting, energy-efficient and sustainable.

The. preliminary. design. of. the. facility. is. rooted.in. the. State’s. cultural. history .. The. site. layout.reflects the fan of the docks that historically occupied. the. site. and. the. roof. form. is. reminis-cent of the wing and feathers of a bird in flight. The.building.and.site.is.viewed.from.many.high.vantage. points. from. around. the. city;. including.the. Governor’s. Mansion. on. Calhoun. Avenue.and from State Office Building. An inspired and expressive.roof.form.will.be.a.beacon.to.the.city,.embracing.and.welcoming.visitors.from.around.the.world .

Building PlanningBuilding Siting and Entry: The. building. is. sited.facing.east.toward.downtown.Juneau ..The.main.entry. connects. to. the. large. public. plaza. which.is. bounded. to. the. east. by. Whittier. Street .. The.extension. of. the. northeastern. café. into. the.plaza.helps.protect.the.covered.entry.from.the.strong.northeasterly.Taku.winds.that.occur.peri-odically.during.the.winter.season ..The.decision.to.place.the.entry.at.this.location.was.driven.by.two.primary.concerns:.1).The.new.building.and.entry.plaza.provide.a.civic.focal.point.and.strong.terminus. to. the. future. plaza. extending. across.Whittier Street to the State Office Building; 2) By placing. the. entry. and. circulation. core. towards.the.northeast.of.the.site,.tremendous.views.to.the. north,. south,. and. east. could. be. preserved.for enjoyment by library users and staff alike.

General Building Order:. The. design. includes. a.generous light-filled, double height entry lobby with.a.café,.auditorium.and.shared.public.meet-ing rooms on the main floor. The café, auditorium and. meeting. rooms. are. immediately. accessible.for.evening.use.without. impacting.the.security.for. library. or. museum .. Washrooms. are. located.conveniently.near.the.entry,.servicing.the.after.

hour. use. of. these. functions .. The. museum. is.located on the main floor to accommodate the large.groups.of.visitors.during.the.active.summer.months.and.to.protect.artifacts.from.direct.light ..The reading room is located on the second floor made.accessible.by.a.large.public.stair.allowing.patrons.to.enjoy.the.dramatic,.unfolding.views.to the north, south and east. A staff entry, build-ing.loading.and.service.components.are.located.on. the. northwest. corner .. Space. planning. has.been greatly influenced by the desire to have

maximum.visual.control.by.a.minimal.number.of.staff members.

Ground Floor Planning: Entry. to. the. interpre-tive.portions.of. the.museum. is.adjacent. to. the.museum.store ..This.allows.a.single.point.of.con-trol that can be managed by 1-2 staff persons, and encourages.patrons.to.purchase.items.from.the.store.or.visit.the.café ..The.interpretive.space.is.immediately. accessible. from. the. back-of-house.functions,. including. exhibit. prep. and. museum.

storage,.which.in.turn.is.immediately.accessible.from. the. northwest. loading. and. service. entry ..During.the.next.phase.of.design,.the.interpretive.vision. will. be. established. and. the. body. of. the.interpretive.space.will.be.fully.understood .

Upper Floor Planning: The.main.Reading.Room.is.conceived.as.a.high.ceilinged.‘great.room’.with.stacks. in. the. center. and. reading. opportunities.along. the. perimeter .. Controllable. daylight. will.enter. the. room. from. high. clerestory. windows.located.around.the.room’s.perimeter ..The.room.is easily reconfigurable in order to adapt to the changing.nature.of.libraries ..Patrons.may.enjoy.views. of. Mount. Juneau. and. Mount. Roberts. to.the.north.and.east.as.well.as.distant.views.down.Gastineau.Channel.to.the.south ..The.south.por-tion.of.the.great.room.is.entirely.glazed.to.give.the.feeling.of.hovering.above.the.amazing.view ..Access.to.the.library.will.be.from.the.large.land-ing.located.at.the.top.of.the.public.stair ..Patrons.will.have.clear.and.easy.access.to.the.circulation.desk. and. have. controlled. access. into. the. adja-cent.research.room ..

Basement: The. design. includes. a. basement. in.order. to. better. accommodate. the. parking. and.mechanical. needs. of. the. Library,. Archives. and.Museum .. Eighty. parking. spaces. are. planned.with. vehicular. access. from. Whittier. Street. into.the.northeast.corner.of. the.site ..A. large.public.elevator.and.stair.will.provide.access.to.the.pub-lic.lobby.for.the.Museum.and.Library.above ..

Sustainable DesignEnergy. conservation. is. a. primary. concern. for.the.State.Library,.Archives.and.Museum.Project ..Maximizing the benefits of natural lighting and minimizing. energy. loss. are. achievable. goals ..At the outset of the project, staff and patrons expressed. a. strong. desire. to. provide. daylit.spaces. and. to. minimize. long-term. operating.costs .. Space. planning. and. the. design. of. the.building. “skin”. will. be. carefully. coordinated. to.take.advantage.of.daylight ..The.goal.moving.for-ward.will.be.to.integrate.time-tested.“passive”.and. “low-tech”. strategies. with. the. economical.and.complementary.use.of.new.technologies.in.an effort to save energy while at the same time providing. for. the. well-being. of. patrons .. Deci-sions.will.be.guided.by.real.data.based.on.energy.modeling.of.the.building .

The energy-efficiency strategy will primarily focus on.the.building.“skin .”.Roof.and.walls.will.have.continuous. insulation. without. thermal. bridges.and.will.be.a.vast.improvement.over.traditional.construction.assemblies ..Other.assemblies,. like.windows,. will. be. thermally. “broken”. and. will.be. triple-glazed. where. appropriate .. Since. cool-ing.loads.in.southeast.Alaska.are.relatively.light,.

cooling.will.be.handled.primarily.through.natural.ventilation. and. economizer. cooling .. The. more.highly. controlled. spaces. in. the. museum. and..storage.spaces.will.likely.require.some.means.of.mechanical.cooling ..

To ensure the success of these strategies, staff and. operations. personnel. will. be. comfortable.with.the.design.direction.and.should.be.part.of.the. start-up. and. testing. phases. of. the. project ..Emphasis.will.be.given.to.building.systems.that.can.be.easily.maintained.and.operated.by. local.personnel .

Materials and MethodsIn. all. areas. of. construction,. emphasis. will. be.placed.on.materials.and.assemblies.that.provide.low-tech. and. economical. construction .. This.means.of.careful.planning.is.based.on.standard.material. units. that. facilitate. little. construction.waste .. Durable. materials. and. assemblies. will.be.favored.over.those.that.are.complicated.and.have high maintenance. Wherever practical, fin-ish.materials.will.be.avoided,.allowing.structural.materials.to.be.expressed.thus.minimizing.over-all.material.consumption .

Site Context and LocationSituated at the confluence of important natural borders. and. urban. corridors,. the. site. presents.opportunities.to.create.connections,.to.link.the.waterfront. to. the. site,. to. further. develop. the.arboretum,. and. to. create. a. public. plaza. as. an.important.outdoor.space ..

Located. between. the. Gastineau. Channel. and.Mount. Juneau,. the. site. occupies. an. area. that.was. once. a. tidal. beach .. A. spillway. or. tailrace.from.an.historic.hydroelectric.plant.and.a.shop-ping. center. form. the. western. boundary. to. the.site .. Egan. Drive,. an. important. highway,. along.with.a.restaurant,.hotel.and.radio.station.forms.the.southern.boundary,.with.the.waterfront.one.block. further. south .. The. eastern. site. boundary.is.Whittier.Street,.which.separates.the.museum.site. from. a. collection. of. surface. parking. lots,.Willoughby Street, the State Office Building and downtown. Juneau .. Immediately. north. of. the.site.is.a.motel,.restaurant.and.Willoughby.Street.where.the.outline.of.the.beach.is.still.somewhat.visible ...Two.well.used.pedestrian.corridors.serve.the site: between the State Office Building and the. shopping. center. (east-west). and. from. the.waterfront.to.the.museum.(south.to.north) ..

Site ConditionsThe site is built on rock fill that dates from the city’s hard-rock mining period. The fill is porous and. is. subject. to. inundation. by. tidal. waters ..Generous.precipitation.and.maritime.conditions.make.this.area.conducive.to.growing.plants.from.most.parts.of.Alaska ..Prevailing.winds.enter.the.site.from.the.southeast.with.the.occasional.Taku.winds.coming.from.the.northeast .

The area to the east of the site is typified by a lack.of.clear.connectivity.and.scattered.parking.lots,. in. spite. of. being. a. major. pedestrian. pas-sageway .. The. tailrace. on. the. west. side. of. the.site. is. partially. exposed. with. the. power. com-pany.planning.on.completing. the. piping.within.the.next.four.years ..Currently,.tour.buses.enter.the.site.and.pull.directly.to.the.building.entry ..A.collection.of.trees.and.shrubs.with.interpretive.signs.forms.an.arboretum.on-site .

Vehicular Access and CirculationThis plan proposes to relocate the bus drop-off zone.to.the.Whittier.Street.edge ..This.move.will.allow.the.site.to.reclaim.its.frontage.as.a.plaza.and. event. space,. keeping. buses. close. to. the.street for easy arrival and departure. The staff

surface. parking. and. loading. facilities. are. relo-cated.to.the.north.side.of.the.building.and.will.accommodate.up.to.two.tractor.trailers.and.two.smaller.delivery.vehicles ..Public.parking.is.under.the.building .

Pedestrian Circulation and Entrance PlazaPedestrian. access. to. the. site. will. come. primar-ily.from.the.east.with.clear.views.into.the.entry.plaza ..This.east.access.from.downtown.and.the.State Office Building will be further strengthened by.the.plaza’s.future.extension.into.the.eastern.parcel.across.Whittier.Street ..

The. other. important. pedestrian. access. to. the.site. is. from. the. south .. Pedestrian. access. over.Egan. Drive. is. addressed. with. a. path. that. can.connect. to. a. proposed. pedestrian. bridge. that.will.link.the.existing.waterfront.path.to.a.north-south.pedestrian.path ..This.passage.will.provide.an.opportunity.for.tourists.to.cross.the.highway.to.the.site ..The.path.will.continue.north.through.a. naturalized. corridor. along. the. western. site.boundary.connecting.to.Willoughby.Street ...

SITE & LANDSCAPE.NARRATIVE


LandscapeThe. entry. plaza. is. designed. to. be. low. mainte-nance, safe and flexible enough to accommo-date.a.variety.of.event.programs.and.uses,.and.to.be.an.elegant.and.enjoyable.public.space ..This.entry plaza is seen as a first step towards creat-ing.a.public.open.space.and.arboretum.that.later.expands. towards. the. east. to. create. additional.public.space.and.to.continue.uniting.the.district ..

The.plaza.landscape.will.represent.a.balance.of.plantings and hardscape, reflecting local materi-als and textures. Due to the rock fill at the site, trees.will.be.placed.in.a.raised.planting.area.sup-ported.by.stone.and.good.topsoil ..Sightlines.are.maintained.throughout.the.planted.areas.by.the.use. of. low. growing. herbaceous. plants .. Raised.plantings will define paths within the plaza space and. provide. ample. topsoil. depth. for. trees. and.other.plants ..

The. arboretum. will. be. a. lightly. forested. zone.on.the.south.side.of.the.museum,.providing.an.entry.to.the.north-south.trail ..On.the.north.side.of the building, tree plantings will buffer the staff entry.and.parking.area ..Plaza.paving.and.planter.designs will reflect the glacial activity typical of. the. region:. exposed. rock. faces;. scored. and.grooved.paving.surfaces.will.provide.a.sense.of.detail. and.directionality ..Seating.and.other. fur-nishings will further reflect the rock outcrops found.in.the.nearby.mountains.and.the.forms.of.dugout.canoes ..

IntroductionThe.proposed.Library.Archives.Museum.project.site.is.on.property.owned.by.the.State.of.Alaska ..ECI/Hyer provided R&M the LAM Concept Design Full. Report. on. September. 2,. 2010. to. assist. in.preparing.the.civil.concept.narrative ..Site.topo-graphic. survey. has. been. previously. been. per-formed by our firm and included as an Exhibit to the.concept.narrative.report ..

The.proposed.LAM.Building. is. located.adjacent.to. Willoughby. Avenue. to. the. north. and. to. the.east.by.Whittier.Avenue,.both.which.is.City.and.Borough.of.Juneau.(CBJ).maintained.and.owned.paved. roadways .. To. the. northwest. is. located.private. developed. property. including. the. Drift-wood.Lodge.and.Salvation.Army.Church ..To.the.south. lie. the. Prospector. Hotel. and. the. KTOO.Radio.building ..To.the.west.lie.the.Alaska.Electric.Light and Power (AEL&P) Gold Creek Tailrace Flume.and.Foodland.Shopping.Center ..The.legal.description.of.the.LAM.property.is.Lots.4,.5,.6,.9.and.12.Front.(FR),.Block.Sixty.Six.(66),.Tidelands.Addition.to.the.CBJ ..

The.LAM.Building.proposal.consists.of.a.ground.floor, upper floor and lower level below grade parking.structure ..The.facility.will.include.spaces.for. museum,. archives,. auditorium,. meeting.rooms, offices, restrooms, mechanical room,

elevator,.parking.garage.and.other.uses ..Domes-tic/fire water supply and sanitary sewer system will.be.supplied.through.the.CBJ.public.utilities ..

The. topographic. survey. prepared. for. the. site.reveals. that. Lots. 4,. 5,. and. 6. are. developed. as.the. existing. State. of. Alaska. Museum .. With. the.exception.of.the.museum.building.and.the.tem-porary annex, Lots 4, 5 and 6 are relatively flat and. are. covered. by. lawn. areas,. landscaping,.sidewalks,. an. asphalt. paved. access. road. and.parking. areas. accessing. Whittier. Street .. Lots. 9.and.12.FR.are.predominantly.developed.as.fairly.level. gravel. surfaced. parking. areas. accessing.onto.Willoughby.Avenue ..

The. following. is. our. conceptual. civil. design.based.on.our.understanding.of.the.Project ..Site.civil issues will be further refined to determine the. most. economical. and. intelligent. solutions.for.the.Project.during.the.Schematic.and.Design.Development.design.phases ..

Site Geology and SoilsPreliminary.research.of.general.site.geology.and.soils. on. adjacent. properties. indicates. that. the.site.was.originally.an.alluvial.soils.formed.by.Gold.Creek. The alluvial soils were filled with mine tail-ings.waste.rock.from.the.Alaska.Juneau.(AJ).Mine.from.the.1910.through.1940’s ..The.depth.of.this.material.varies ..The.granular.deposits.below.the.

AJ rock fill are often referred to as outwash and glacio-marine. deposits .. These. soils. commonly.consist.of.gray.to.brownish.light.gray.sand.with.gravel with pockets of fine sand/silt deposits some of which offer low bearing values.

Ground WaterGround. water. at. this. site. will. be. dependent.upon. the. tide. level. of. Gastineau. Channel. and.most likely fluctuate within the tide range on any. given. day .. Structural. foundation. members.and.site.construction.activities.below.elevation.+20’ mean lower low water would be influenced by. the. tide .. Dewatering. the. project. site. during.construction. is. important .. Mitigation. methods.for.controlling.construction.surface.and.ground-water.include.but.are.not.limited.to:

1 .. All.below-grade.portions.of.the.building.are.properly.water.and.moisture-proofed.by.waterproofing the below grade foundation walls.and.placement.of.a.plastic.vapor.bar-rier below the floor slabs.

2. Surface water is effectively isolated from entering.all.soils.below.foundation.footings.and floor slabs.

3 .. Surface.grading.is.accomplished.in.a.man-ner.that.will.positively.divert.surface.water.runoff away from the structure.

Architectural concrete.4”.thick.with.6”.depth.of.D-1.beneath.having. varying. widths. are. planned. in. the. plaza.area ..Parking.stalls.should.be.delineated.with.4”.wide.yellow.parking.stripes.and.accessible.park-ing.stalls.delineated.with.accessible.blue.painted.stripes. and. appropriate. accessible. signage ..Traffic control signs (Stop, No Parking, Loading Zone,.Accessible.etc .).will.meet.current.Manual.of.Uniform.Control.Devices ..D-1.gravel.paths.are.also.planned.around.the.site ..Path.width.will.be.approximately.5’.with.4”.depth.of.D-1 ..

Site UtilitiesWater. and. sewer. utilities. will. be. connected.to. the. CBJ. public. systems. located. within. Wil-

loughby.Avenue.and.Whittier.Street ..No.onsite.disposal.of.wastewater.or.private.well.water. is.anticipated. No unusual difficulties are foreseen provided.standard.design.and.construction.tech-niques.are.employed,.such.as,.proper.bedding.of.buried pipes, compacting trench backfill to 95% of modified proctor and sufficient pipe embed-ment.to.prevent.freezing.(5’.to.top.of.waterline) ..Sewer.and.water.lines.should.be.constructed.in.accordance.with.applicable.codes.and.standards.of. the. State. of. Alaska. Department. of. Trans-portation/Public. Facilities. and. CBJ. Engineering.Department ..

Water ServiceAn.existing.16”.ductile.iron.water.main.with.6”.ductile. iron. water. service. stub. out. with. gate.valve.is.located.near.the.northeast.corner.of.Lot.9 ..A.6-inch.water.main.is.assumed.to.be.installed.to meet domestic and fire protection (sprin-klered.system).needs.for.the.building.per.AMC.Engineers .. Connection. to. this. existing. water.service.will.be.made.and.the.new.6”.water.line.installed. to. the. building. mechanical. room .. It. is.assumed that there will be adequate water flow and.pressure.with.a.6”.water.line.but.this.will.be.confirmed during the schematic design phase of the.project ..An.alternative.option.for.water.ser-vice. to. the. building. involves. connecting. to. the.existing. 8”. ductile. iron. water. main. in. Whittier.Street .. This. would. involve. cutting. across. Whit-tier. Street. to. connect. the. new. 6”. ductile. iron.

line.to.the.existing.8”. line.and. installing.a.new.6”. gate. valve .. The. existing. museum. building. is.connected.to.the.water.line.in.Whittier.Street ..

Sanitary Water ServiceTwo. options. exist. for. routing. wastewater.generated. from. the. building. via. gravity. sewer.methods. to. the. CBJ. public. sewer. system .. The.first involves connecting to the existing 10” PVC sanitary.sewer.main.line.located.west.of.the.site.on. Lot. 13A .. The. sewer. main. is. reported. to. be.installed over 9’ in depth below the existing fin-ished.surfaces ..The.new.sewer.line.in.this.option.would. have. to. be. routed. below. the. existing.AEL&P 60” CMP which carries water from the upstream. power. plant .. Permission. would. need.to be granted from AEL&P, the owner of Lot 13A and. CBJ. to. make. this. connection .. The. second.option. involves. connecting. to. the. existing. 10”.AC.sanitary.sewer.line.located.in.Whittier.Street ..This. line. is. also. fairly. deep. below. the. existing.ground.surface ..

Collection.and.discharge.of.wastewater.from.the.new.LAM.building. is.assumed.to.be. via. gravity.methods.through.8”.PVC.piping ..Final.sizing.of.the wastewater line will be confirmed with the mechanical. design. engineers. in. the. schematic.design. phase ..

Storm Water SystemStorm. drain. systems. exist. within. Willoughby.Avenue. and. Whittier. Street .. It. is. assumed. for.this. concept. narrative. that. site. storm. drainage.will.be.designed.to.be.routed.to.each.of. these.areas .. An. 18”. CPP. storm. drain. line. with. curb.inlets.exists.on.Willoughby.Avenue.which.would.be. connected. to. new. storm. drain. pipe. from.this. project .. This. system. is. not. deep. (5’. below.finish street grade) but we assume there will be.enough.elevation.drop.to.allow.storm.water.from the proposed staff parking area and service area. to. be. collected. in. storm. drain. structures.and. piped. underground. in. 12”. CPP. pipe. to. the.Willoughby. Avenue. system .. Foundation. and.roof.drains.would.also.be.routed.to.this.side.of.the.site.where.feasible ..Loading.dock.walls.are.assumed.to.be.elevated.above.grade,.therefore.no.separate.system.is.required.for.drainage ..

Storm.drainage.collected.on.the.eastern.half.of.the.site.where.the.underground.parking.access.road, entry plaza, bus drop-off zone and art/sculpture areas have been identified, will drain into.the.existing.storm.drain.system.on.Whittier.Street ..An.existing.18”.CPP.storm.drain.pipe.with.storm.drain.structures.is.located.on.the.east.side.of. Whittier. Street .. The. existing. museum. storm.drain. is. currently. connected. to. this. system ..

Strategically.placed.storm.drain.structures.with.12”. CPP. gravity. storm. piping. between. them.will drain the drop-off zone, hard-scape areas, access.roads.and.sidewalks ..Roof.drains.would.be. routed. to. the. ground. surface. and. routed.away.from.the.building.foundation.walls ..Foun-dation. drains. would. be. routed. to. storm. drain.catch. basins/manholes. if. elevations. are. found.to.be.adequate ..The.lower.level.parking.garage.will.require.a.storm.drain.collection.system.and.an.electronic.submersible.pumping.system.with.high. level.alarms.to.discharge.any.storm.water.accumulated.in.the.parking.garage.to.the.gravity.storm.system ..

Required Development PermitsThe.following.is.a.list.of.potential.development.permits.that.may.be.required.for.this.project:

•. CBJ.Conditional.Use.Permit

•. CBJ.Grading.and.Drainage.Permit

•. CBJ.Building.Permit

•. CBJ.Utility.Connection.Permit

•. Utility.service.coordination.for.telephone,.electric.and.Cable.TV ..

GeneralThe.structural.design.will.be.developed.accord-ing.to.the.applicable.building.codes.and.design.standards .. These. codes. and. standards. include,.but.are.not.limited.to.the.following:

•. 2009.International.Building.Code.(IBC)

•. ASCE.7-08.Minimum.Design.Loads.for.Build-ings.and.Other.Structures

•. AISC.341.Seismic.Provisions.for.Steel.Build-ings

The. building. will. be. designed. as. an. Occupancy.Category.II.structure.(standard.occupancy),.per.ASCE.7.Table.1-1 ..As.a.result,.importance.factors.for.snow,.wind.and.seismic.loads.are.all.1 .0 ..This.level.of.design. is. intended.to.ensure. life.safety.during.a.design-level.event .

Structural Systems SelectionIn. general,. many. factors. will. be. considered.when. selecting. the. materials. and. systems. for.the.building’s.structure ..Some.of.the.questions.that.will.be.answered.during.design.include.the.following:

•. Life.safety:.How.well.will.the.structural.systems.perform.during.catastrophic.wind,.seismic.and.snow.events?

•. Functional.performance:.How.well.will.the.structural.systems.perform.during.normal.use?.(For.example,.is.there.perceptible.vibra-tion of the floor plate underfoot?)

•. Functional.compatibility:.Are.the.structural.systems.compatible.with.the.other.design.disciplines’ functional needs (e.g. fire rat-ings,.routing.of.mechanical.systems)?

•. Constructability:.Do.the.structural.systems.work.with.the.construction.sequencing?.Are.they.consistent.with.locally.available.labor?

• Cost effectiveness: Are we achieving “bang for.the.buck”.and.staying.within.the.project.budget?

•. Cleanliness:.In.areas.where.the.building.con-tents.are.sensitive.to.contamination,.can.the.structural.systems.be.selected.to.minimize.potential.contamination?.(For.example,.in.the.storage/vault.areas,.are.there.structural.systems.that.do.not.need.spray-applied.fireproofing that may degrade over time?)

•. Aesthetics:.In.areas.where.structure.will.be.exposed.to.view,.are.the.materials.compat-ible.with.the.architectural.form?.In.areas.where.the.structure.is.NOT.exposed.to.view,.are.the.structural.members.(e .g ..seismic.braces).able.to.be.concealed?

It. is. anticipated. that. more. than. one. material.will.eventually.be.selected.for.a.given.structural.system. (e .g .. multiple. framing. systems. for. the.building floor plates), based on the answers to the.above.questions .

Foundations and Garage Floor SlabThe.foundation.design.will.be.developed.accord-ing.to.the.recommendations.of.the.geotechnical.engineer, based on the site-specific soils condi-tions ..It.is.known.that.the.general.soil.make-up.consists of man-made granular fill over native tidal beach soils. The granular fill is subject to regular.tidal.saltwater.inundation .

The. foundations. are. anticipated. to. consist.of. driven. steel. piles,. most. likely. H. sections ..Depending.on.the.structural.loads,.piles.may.be.placed.in.groups.or.standalone ..For.example,.at.heavily.loaded.interior.columns,.pile.groups.may.be.required.to.support.the.loads,.whereas.along.a. uniformly. loaded. basement. wall,. single. piles.may.be.spaced.at.regular.intervals .

Piles.will.be.capped.with.cast-in-place.concrete.pile. caps. at. concentrated. load. locations,. and.cast-in-place. concrete. grade. beams. at. uniform.load.locations .

The parking garage floor slab is anticipated to be a. cast-in-place,. mildly. reinforced. (i .e .. non-post-

STRUCTURAL.NARRATIVE


tensioned).structural.concrete.slab ..The.slab.will.probably.be.designed.for.2-way.action,.spanning.both.directions.to.supporting.grade.beams.and.slab.beam.strips ..For.pricing.purposes,.the.slab.is.assumed.to.be.8.inches.thick,.with.double.mats.of.steel.reinforcing .

Basement WallsAt.least.two.systems.will.be.considered.for.the.basement.wall.construction:

1 .. Cast-in-place.concrete.walls:.With.a.con-crete.wall.system,.the.site.would.be.fully.excavated.before.the.basement.walls.are.constructed ..The.walls.would.be.built.on.top.of.perimeter.grade.beams,.after.the.founda-tion piling, pile caps and garage floor slab are installed. The walls would be backfilled after the main floor plate is constructed. The concrete.walls.are.assumed.to.be.12.inches.thick,.with.double.mats.of.steel.reinforcing .

2 .. Steel.sheet.piling:.With.a.sheet.pile.system,.the.sheets.would.be.driven.before.the.foundation.is.excavated ..After.the.sheets.are.driven,.the.foundation.would.be.exca-vated and the interior foundations and floor slab.would.be.constructed ..The.sheet.piling.would.take.the.place.of.the.H.piling.and.concrete.grade.beams.around.the.perimeter.walls,.and.would.be.designed.to.resist.both.gravity.and.lateral.(soil.retaining).loads ..

Factors. that. will. determine. the. basement. wall.system.selection. include.construction.sequenc-ing, cost, waterproofing design and geotechni-cal.considerations .

Elevated Floor FramingSeveral different floor framing systems are anticipated,.depending.on.the.functional.needs.of the spaces above and below the floor plates. These.systems.are.as.follows:

1. First floor framing over the parking garage: The first floor plate is anticipated to be a concrete.topping.slab.on.composite.steel.floor deck (6-1/2” typical total slab thickness, 8”.minimum.thickness.at.vibration-sensitive.floor areas) on wide-flange structural steel beam.and.girder.framing ..Beams.and.girder.would.be.supported.on.interior.columns.and.perimeter.basement.walls .

2. Second floor framing over “clean” areas: Where.potential.contamination.of.the.building.contents.in.the.space.below.is.a.consideration, the second floor plate will consist.of.a.cast-in-pace.concrete.topping.slab.(4”.minimum.thickness).over.one-way.precast.concrete.slabs.(hollow.core.planks).supported.on.precast.concrete.girders ..Gird-ers.will.be.supported.by.interior.columns.and.perimeter.concrete.bearing.walls ..This.system.eliminates.the.need.for.spray-applied.

fireproofing or gypsum board column wraps, which.could.deteriorate.over.time.and.con-taminate.the.spaces.below .

3. Second floor framing over conventional ar-eas:.Where.contamination.is.not.a.concern,.the second floor plate will be a concrete topping slab on composite steel floor deck (6-1/2” total slab thickness) on wide-flange structural.steel.beam.and.girder.framing ..Beams.and.girder.would.be.supported.on.steel.columns .

Roof FramingThe.roof.framing.systems.will.vary.depending.on.the.architectural.form,.as.follows:

1 .. Architecturally.exposed.library/lobby.roof:.Where.the.roof.structure.is.exposed.and.integrated.into.the.architectural.form,.the.framing.is.anticipated.to.consist.of.plywood.sheathing.on.timber.decking.on.curved.glu-lam.timber.and/or.HSS.beam.framing ..The.beams.will.connect.to.architecturally.exposed.precast.concrete.columns.with.cus-tom.fabricated.steel.connection.hardware .

2 .. Conventional.low.slope.roof.areas:.Where.architectural.expression.is.not.required,.roofs.will.be.framed.with.steel.roof.deck.on.wide-flange structural steel beam and girder framing,.supported.on.steel.columns .


Column FramingThe. column. construction. will. vary. depending.on. the. functional. needs. of. the. surrounding.spaces,.and.the.architectural.aesthetic.needs,.as.follows:

1 .. Lower.level.parking/mechanical.areas:.In.these.areas,.columns.are.anticipated.to.be.structural steel (W shapes). Where fire rating is.required,.columns.may.be.wrapped.and/or.fireproofed. Where vehicle impact resistance is.a.concern,.columns.may.be.protected.by.a.waist-high.concrete.encasement .

2. First and second floor “clean” areas: In the Secure.Storage.and.any.other.sensitive.areas,.columns.will.be.concrete.(precast.or.cast-in-place) ..This.will.eliminate.the.need.for fireproofing and/or column wraps, which could.break.down.over.time.and.contami-nate.the.room.contents .

3. First floor, second floor, and roof areas with exposed.structure:.Where.the.columns.are.exposed.to.view,.they.will.be.precast.con-crete ..Columns.may.be.cast.into.expressive.forms.according.to.the.architectural.design ..Embedded.steel.hardware.will.accept.the.connections of the surrounding floor and roof.framing.members .

4. First and second floor perimeter columns and.columns.at.braced.frame.bays:.In.these.areas,.columns.will.be.structural.steel.(HSS.or.W.shapes) .

Lateral Force Resisting SystemThe. building. will. be. subjected. to. lateral. forces.due.to.wind.and.seismic.events,.and.the.struc-ture.will.be.designed.to.resist.these.forces.and.resolve.them.into.the.ground .

Lateral.wind.forces.are.the.result.of.pressure.and.suction.on.the.building’s.vertical.surfaces ..Wind.loads.are.transferred.to.the.horizontal.roof.and.floor diaphragms by the building’s exterior wall assemblies .

Seismic. forces. are. inertial. forces,. generated.when. the. ground. accelerates. beneath. the.building .. Inertial. forces. will. concentrate. at. the.roof and second floor levels, where the seismic mass is greatest. Foundations and ground floor slabs.are. in.phase.with.the.ground,.and.do.not.contribute. seismic. forces. to. the. above-ground.structure .

The roof or floor deck at each level acts as a hori-zontal.diaphragm.to.transfer.lateral.loads.to.the.vertical.resisting.elements.(steel.braced.frames.and.concrete.shear. walls) ..The. diaphragms.are.connected. to. collector. beams. (drag. struts),.which. accumulate. and. deliver. the. lateral. loads.to.the.vertical.resisting.elements ..Collector.ele-ments. are. designed. for. special. load. combina-tions.and.detailing.provisions.as.required.by.the.building.codes ..In.general,.the.collectors.consist.of.steel.beams,.with.slip-critical.bolted.or.welded.end.connections .

The. vertical. resisting. elements. (braced. frames.and.shear.walls).will.vary.according.to.the.loca-tion.in.the.building,.as.follows:

1 .. Library/lobby.roof:.The.architecturally.exposed.roof.structure.will.be.braced.on.all.sides.by.diagonal.steel.rod.tension.bracing,.deployed in X configurations. Braces may be constructed.with.clevises.and.turnbuckles,.or.other.similar.mechanisms.for.making.the.connections .

2 .. Conventional.low-slope.roofs:.Roof.dia-phragms.will.be.connected.to.buckling-restrained.braced.frames.(BRBF’s),.which.consist of wide-flange beams and columns and.manufactured.diagonal.BRB.bracing.members.(Star.Seismic.“Powercat”.braces.or.equivalent.www .starseismic .net) ..Braces.are.generally.oriented.in.single-diagonal.or.chevron (inverted V) configurations. Diago-nal bracing members will be configured to avoid conflicts with the floor plan and window/door.openings ..BRB.members.and.their.end.connections.(gusset.plates.and.welds).are.engineered.by.the.brace.manu-facturer,.using.the.geometry.and.loading.criteria.supplied.by.the.Engineer.of.Record ..Bracing connections are field welded to gus-set.plates.(approximately.120”.total.of.5/16”.fillet weld is assumed for each connection).

3. Garage, basement mechanical room and first level.Secure.Storage.walls:.Where.concrete.

�� ECI/HYER :: THA ARCHITECTURE

walls.are.necessitated.by.other.aspects.of.the.building.design,.the.walls.may.be.incorporated.into.the.lateral.force.resisting.system ..Where.this.occurs,.the.walls.will.be.designed.as.special.reinforced.concrete.shear.walls.(12”.thickness.assumed) ..Note.that.if.the.garage.perimeter.walls.are.con-structed.with.sheet.piling,.the.sheet.piles.will.be.designed.to.act.as.shear.walls .

The. seismic. design. will. account. for. the. overall.redundancy. of. the. seismic. load. resisting. sys-tems,. as. prescribed. by. ASCE. 7. section. 12 .3 .4 .2 ..For.each.direction.of.seismic.loading,.the.build-ing. is. assigned. a. value. of. rho,. which. acts. as. a.multiplier. on. the. calculated. nominal. seismic.loads .. A. rho. value. of. 1 .3. is. used. for. loading. in.both.directions .

(preservation. indexes.for. organic. materials). will. be. considered. and.acceptable.levels.of.risk.established .

Centralized. heating,. ventilating. and. air. condi-tioning systems, plumbing, fire protection and building. automation. systems. will. be. designed.to. achieve. the. client. approved. indoor. environ-mental. performance. targets .. The. design. will.

be. based. on. standard. commercial/institutional.grade. components. and. packaged. systems. for.ease. of. maintenance. and. vender. support .. Sys-tems. will. be. designed. to. be. safe,. reliable. and.efficient using proven techniques and current technology .. Special. consideration. will. be. given.to. incorporating. energy. saving. systems. when.feasible .. Mechanical. system. designs. will. focus.on.logical.equipment.placement,.ease.of.opera-tion.and.accessibility.for.both.preventative.and.corrective.maintenance .

Our. design. team. will. work. closely. with. the.client’s. administrators,. collections. managers,.curators,.conservators.and.security.personnel.to.solicit.further.design.input.to.allow.us.to.provide.the. appropriate. mechanical. systems. and. their.proper. level. of. environmental. control. for. this.facility .
