INTRODUCTION

Throughout America and the rest of the world, there are only a few rehabilitation centers designed to help ease soldiers back into civilian life after their experiences in Afghanistan. This project is an exploration of the unique issues that need to be addressed in the rehabilitation of Wounded Warriors. The therapy necessary for these soldiers include a holistic approach to healing including the mind, body, and spirit. Because each patient has a unique issue and a different way with coping with their experiences, it is necessary that they get a well-developed and well-catered rehabilitation experience to make the transition as painless as possible. It is the mission of this project to create a place they can come to heal and move forward with their life no matter how different it may be. Thank you for being interested in the Mainspring Rehabilitation Center for Wounded Warriors.

Overview

Gross square footage: 33,500 sq. ft.

Completion Date: September 2008

Architecture Firm: Stanley Beaman & Sears

The Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation provides both Medical and Vocational Rehabilitation. These include a variety of areas of focus.

Blanchard Hall is an Outpatient facility. Some of these programs include:

• Therapy• Diabetic Foot Center• Seating and Wheeled Mobility Clinic• Rehabilitation Technology

• Aquatic Therapy

Page 10: Mainspring Rehabilitation Center-A wounded Warrior Project Process Book

History

• Warm Springs Foundation was incorporated in 1927

• The Foundation was started by Franklin Roosevelt to treat polio victims.

• The complex consisted of hospitals, dormitories, dining halls, and recreational facilities.

• By 1974, it turned into a medical rehabilitation facility that specializes in brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, orthopedic and general rehabilitation services.

Concept

• The design of the building is sensitive to that of the institute’s early-20th-century brick-and-column buildings. This is done by maintaining the portico and colonnade and a two-story entry space similar to the great halls of the older campus buildings.

• A creative decision was made by the use of industrial-modern materials to show the technological advancements of modern rehabilitative medicine.

• The design also aimed to create an uplifting environment for outpatients through the navigation of the building and enjoy the landscape and creek of the site.

Page 12: Mainspring Rehabilitation Center-A wounded Warrior Project Process Book

Site & Orientation

• Blanchard Hall is set into a deep slope and deals with a creek which separates the building from its parking area.

• The parking area is connected to the structure with a

wheelchair-accessible bridge spanning the stream.

Interior Elements

• The gym and lobby span both levels to give the entry a grand feel like the other buildings on the Warm Springs Campus.

• The glass walls maximize the tree-lined views of the creek and allow natural light throughout the space.

• In many areas, the luminaires are reflected in the flooring.

• Warm tones and wood panneling are used to give the space feel more inviting and relaxed.

Materiality

• Red brick and stucco used is similar to that of the existing buildings of the classical revival period.

• The steel rods and a tensile mesh fabric canopies represent prosthetic materials that are utilized in the fabrication process.

• The large roof overhang combines with the hillside creating a sense of protection while the

glass walls convey an open welcome.

Analysis• Take site into consideration when designing.

How can it help enhance design?

• Think about context of surrounding buildings or future buildings when selecting materiality.

• Consider ways to encorporate natural light, views, and color scheme to enhance wanted effect, (feelings of calmness and ease)

• Think of how to maximize accessability with relationship to adjacent locations. Keep in mind many people may not be able to move far distances easily.

• When developing design concepts, make sure they can help inform your design from materiality and circulation to interior design decisions.

The Fort Riley Rehabilitation Center focused more on Traumatic Brain Injury patients. The biggest thing this facility seemed to be lacking was space. There wasn’t much of anything about the design that could be construed as calming.

SITE

ANA

LYSI

S

The rehabilitation center will be located in Milford, Kansas. This site will serve as a convenient location for recovering soldiers with Fort Riley to the right of it and Milford lake and the fishery just down the street. The site was chosen for its proximity to the Milford lakefront and hatchery, somewhat sloped site, and the quiet, private residences found in the immediate vacinity.

Page 28: Mainspring Rehabilitation Center-A wounded Warrior Project Process Book

History and Culture of the Area

There are three close towns surrounding the site and they each have their own history and offer something different. These three towns are:

- Milford - Junction City - Fort Riley

Junction City

Junction City was located on the Kansas Pacific Railroad line and was a secondary shipping point for the cattle trade. The city was founded long before the cattle trade was booming in Kansas. The first settlers arrived in the area in 1854 and was formally incorporated in 1859. In 1923, John R. Brinkley established Radio Station KFKB, which stood for ‘’Kansas First, Kansas Best’’, using a 1 kW transmitter. It is one of the first, if not the very first, radio stations in Kansas.

Fort Riley

The site of Fort Riley was chosen by surveyors in the fall of 1852 and was first called Camp Center because of its proximity to the geographical center of the United States.Its initial purpose was to protect the pioneers and traders who occupied Oregon-California and Santa Fe Trails.Today, the military reservation now covers more than 100,000 acres and has a daytime population of nearly 25,000.

Milford

The original town of Milford was the oldest community on the Republican River. It was established in the spring of 1855, During the next two years more settlers and families settled. In 1961, the citizens decided to relocate the community to accommodate the scheduled construction of Milford Dam. In 1965, the original town site of Milford was bulldozed and now lies under the waters of Milford Lake.

Site Considerations

A variety of plants and colors can be found on this site ranging from reds and yellows to blues. This variety of vegitation also incorporates many different textural qualities.

Because of the lack of larger foliage cover, shelter from the sun and wind are minimal.

The street access to the site is Hwy 57. There isn’t too much traffic, but provisions need to be made for noise and privacy. While visiting the site, a few army grade aircrafts flew by. They werent loud, but they were noticeable.

SITE

ANA

LYSI

S

The site selected is surrounded by mostly residential areas. There is a cluster of houses across the street and up a little ways towards Hwy 77 as well as some other homes in the distance. Right at the junction of Hwy 77 and 57 is a small business facility. No noise or activity interrupts the experience of the site.

The Milford lake and this view is just down the road from the site. Across the dam is the Milford lake fishery and hatchery. This allows for easy access to off-site water sports and activities.

Page 36: Mainspring Rehabilitation Center-A wounded Warrior Project Process Book

Climate and Seasonal Changes

The temperature chart shows that the overheated season is between June and September. This is when it is important to shade the building from sunlight and utilize wind as a passive cooling system. During the underheated months between December and March, it is important to utilize the warmth of the northern-facing light.

The degree days chart shows when the demand for energy to heat or cool a building is high and low. From December the February, the energy demand for heat is at it’s highest and around July and August is the highest energy demand for cooling.

The precipitation chart shows that this region recieves a higher amount of rianfall during the overheated months and a lower amount during the underheated months.

S

The sun chart shows the average amount of daylight per day throughout the year. It shows that the days are about 6 hours longer at the end of June and early July than they are in November through most of January.

Proper shading is important to this design due to the lack of significant cover. It will be especially important eastern and western directions since these are the strongest sides for solar gain.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Page 54: Mainspring Rehabilitation Center-A wounded Warrior Project Process Book

With the current situation in the Middle East and the high demand for soldiers, many of them return home wounded and broken with nowhere to go. It is the mission of the Wounded Warriors foundation to create a retreat for these injured soldiers to go. It is the ambition of these facilities to provide a warm welcoming place for them to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. The facilities mission is to help these soldiers come full circle to be able to help other wounded soldiers as they enter the rehabilitation process.To this rehabilitation center, full circle incorporates a sense of community into the lives of soldiers no matter where they are in the healing process. At this center, it is a goal to promote healing of the mind, body, and spirit for a better well-rounded, holistic experience. This will create a deeper, longer lasting effect on the soldiers helping them to develop a life style that will carry them through the rest of their life.One of the many ways of approaching these ideas is by the integration of biophilia. This concept is the love of life or living systems. The Biophilia Hypothesis is described as “the connections that human beings subconsciously seek with the rest of life.” This suggests the biological need to connect with other forms of life(animal, plant, water systems, etc.). An example of this is gardening. Not only

Page 55: Mainspring Rehabilitation Center-A wounded Warrior Project Process Book

CONCEPT STATEMENT

is it therapeutic to work on a garden, but it is just as beneficial to watch it grow and thrive. Observing the outcome of the work put in is just as rewarding and awe-inspiring. This physical and spiritual connection promotes healing, growth, new life, progress and many other attributes in a variety of ways by utilizing the cycle of life and a bond with other natural living things.This concept will be integrated into the program and design to create an atmosphere and experience that promotes a connection with nature and a new beginning. Many of the therapies interact with the outdoors directly, however, some observe from a distance. The therapies that will be included are gardening , art, aquatic, and outdoor sports therapies.In addition to the therapies, these concepts will be prominent in the design. Connections with nature and water will be important. This can mean having water features and plant life with an indoor/outdoor connection. Sunlight is also a factor to incorporate as the soldiers experiences the building. This can start to influence decisions on the materiality and color scheme of the building. Sustainability needs to be taken into account when selecting the materials. If wood is selected as a main material, it needs to be either readily accessible, easily replenished, or both.

Interior Circulation

Circulation meanders around the edges of the exterior of the building promoting an ambulatory indoor walking path. Clearly marked signage helps patrons know where they are at all times. Integrated seating, artwork and foliage combine with the exterior views creating an atmosphere like that of a leisure stroll.

Portable Plant Carrier

Once the patients make a ceramic pot in Art therapy, they are able to bring a plant home as a constant reminder of the continuous inner growth. These containers help transport the plants by easily fitting into a standandard cup holder. The top clear perforrated portion detaches and pulls away to get the plant safely in and out of the device.
