Fairmont student housing - completed 2015

As a part of the campus improvements,we where tasked with

Architectural Design, Space Planning, Interior Design and

Structural Engineering design services for Fairmont State

University’s new 300-bed apartment style residence hall

building.

Fairmont State University, with a 120-acre main campus in

Fairmont, is part of the state’s growing high technology

corridor. With a long history of academic excellence, FSU is a

place where teaching and learning matter and students are the

University’s first priority.

Over the past decade, the main campus has been expanded with

new construction including an Engineering Technology Building,

Student Center, Parking Garage, Improved Library Facility and

significant ADA accessibility improvements.

The project is intended to establish the housing standards for

Fairmont while creating a residential community atmosphere that

embraces the distinctive characteristics of the campus while

achieving proforma criteria established by the design. (revit)

The Police and City Hall buildings have a seamless aesthetic

and sense of order, creating a holistic solution and making

the buildings feel as one. Although the buildings share a

texture, they have discreet and different functions, internally

personalized for the users. The connection between the chambers

and City Hall creates an opportunity to close down City Hall

in the evening, leaving the chambers as an independent form,

and creating an event space separate from the larger mass. The

parking garage to the rear of the complex, along with the Police

and City Hall buildings, provides protection for the chambers.

Construction budget 55 million dollar.

donaldsons college school for the deaf/linlithgow/

scotland/competition win 05 completed 2008

Design and relocation of Donaldsons college school for the deaf.

To create a state of the art educational facility for deaf and

hearing impaired and autistic children. Working closely with the

students, faculty, and staff in a studio charrette environment.

We where able to craft a solution on a green field site that

exceeded the expectation of the team. The college was officially

opened in November 08.

Construction budget 30 million (GBP)

broadwood sports centre competition win 07 completed 09/

design lead.

Master plan and redesign of the broadwood soccer complex.

This stadium is the home of Clyde Football Club. In an effort

to recapitalize, the board of governors of North Lanarkshire

council ask me to design a new leasure center. The objective was

to orientate the building for maximum visibility and at the same

time create a viewing area toward the north end of the pitch.

The solution was to create a double skin which made the building

debate the ideal of edge and at night it glowed and appeared

semi-transparent. The construction budget was 25 million+-(GBP)

Design and strategic planning for a sports campus providing 4

million sqm of sports and living quarters.

Design of a large scale sports complex to house all the

competitors during the Asia games. The project would then

convert to a hospital. The design solution was a three tower

scheme with a four storey D and T located below a continuous

canopy. This canopy connected all three buildings together and

housed the mechanical and interstitial services.

CRTD/Center for the research and treatment of diabetes.

With the increase in prevalence of both type one and type two

diabetes in the middle east, the centre for diabetes research

and treatment was established. We where asked to design a state

of the art facility in the city of Kuwait that would become

a world class centre for the treatment of this disease. The

facility consisted of inpatient and outpatient dietary clinics,

a health spa, labs and a conference centre. Construction budget

was 90 million

mubarak al hassawi medical center/2008/design lead

Master plan and design for a new mixed use $1.3 Billion

development in the city of Sharjah.

This project consists of hospital/spa/residential/hotel/

medical office building/office building/retail/landscape and

gardens, and continuous parking structure. In this concept it

was important that all the components of the campus touched each

other. The concealment of the larger scale element through a

landscape device was strategic and became part of the clients

vision. It was important to the client and the design team to

conceal the parking structure so that there were no visible

parking structures or vehicles on the site. We needed to

conceal any visual pollution and create a pedestrian circulation

diagram. Using discreet entries which separate public, private

and pedestrian sectors.

the cleveland clinic foundation/open 08/design lead

Master planning and design to create a main entry to the CCF

campus and a new entry to the heart centre.

The project was comprised of a new heart center, in patient

and out patient cath labs, diagnostic and treatment centers.

This was a extremely large scale project, where I worked with a

very complicated team and with a client who was in transition.

The project also had a large civic presence therefore it was

important that we continually met with city council and walked

them through the concept. Construction budget $420 million.

THE CHRIST HOSPITAL/OPEN 04/DESIGN LEAD

Master plan and design of new cardiovascular center in

Cincinnati.

The project consisted of construction of a 3 storey bed tower

with emergency department and interior renovation. The solution

was to capture and maximize the view of the Ohio valley. Although

the urban setting was quite congested, the views from the patient

accommodation was fabulous utilizing floor to ceiling glass.

Also, the orientation of the patient bathroom allowed the design

to maximize natural day light.
