HISTORY 

THE SYMBOLISM OF THE PYRAMID The first record of a pyramid dates back to 2650-2600BCE in Egypt, serving as a tomb for the common people and royalty

alike. In America, the pyramids of Mesoamerica date back to as early as 250-300CE, representing mountains and man’sattempt to reach closer to the realm of the gods, as the first architectural heritage on the continent. The legacy for creatingmonumental, aspirational architecture predates us all; the pure shape of a pyramid stands for a timeless, powerful and boldstatement for the generations to come. 

THE INVERTED PYRAMID OF ST. PETERSBURG In 1973, the City of St. Petersburg commissioned architect William B. Harvard Sr. who turned the iconic pyramid over, pushingthe shape to its structural limits. Industry rose to the challenge of studying this shapes inherent qualities to devise a system forsupporting it along with a program of usable space. For decades, this Pier has proven itself worthy of occupation. In its heyday the Pier captured the magnificence and joyous spirit

of St. Petersburg. A sign of innovation, strength and pride, the building has sustained the test of time to provide generations ofpeople with memories, good times and pleasure. Built during a specific era of architecture, when the use of concrete and structural experimentation reigned, the Pier as it istoday appears bulky, heavy and layered. In the spirit of entering a new era defined by sustainability and reuse, the 21st century,the Pier shall become a reinvention of itself for a contemporary setting. 

PROSPECT PIER TRANSFORMS THE LEGACY Rather than start anew, Prospect Pier recognizes the legitimacy of the original pier shape in society. Far ahead of its time, theinverted pyramid shape has been proposed over and over again in recent years through competitive international competitionsinvolving acclaimed design teams. The beauty of the context of St. Petersburg is that the Pier need not be reinvented from

scratch; instead, the Pier can be transformed, modernized and optimized to rise to the needs of a new audience. Founded in Mexico, home to some of the world’s earliest Pyramid settlements, FR-EE finds significant beauty and inspirationin the elegant form of St. Petersburg’s original Pier. Moreover, FR-EE’s team believes wholeheartedly in the necessity to bestewards of the environment, protectors of a unique setting and supporters of a new vision of the City. Without compromise, Prospect Pier has the potential to deliver St. Petersburg with a bold new vision for its Pier and to servethe community and new audiences alike. The following proposal is a responsible, economical, sustainable and contextualresponse to the City and community’s agenda for reinventing the Pier. We are excited about what potential it holds and areequally eager to engage with seeing this vision become a reality over the next few years.

HISTORY

Founded in 1888, the city of St. Petersburg has alwaysbeen defined by its waterfront setting. After a few fitfulyears of attempting to establish an industrial waterfront, St.

Petersburg made the eventful decision to convert the entiredowntown waterfront to public park in 1907. Between 1908and 1923 the small but rapidly growing town floated $1.3million in bonds to acquire and improve over 50 acres ofpublic park. Today, cities all over the world are working toconvert their urban waterfronts into public parks, but at thetime this was a bold and radical concept. Acknowledging thisvisionary undertaking, John Nolen, the most prominent urbanplanner of his day, labeled St. Petersburg America’s Riviera.

The park system was expanded and improved throughoutthe 20th century through the creation of the Pier Uplandsand Demen’s Landing as well as the creation of a “culturalcorridor” featuring a performing arts center, sports stadium,

marinas and three museums. Over time waterfront parkswere added north and south of downtown and today thereis over seven miles of public shoreline in the city’s core.Collectively they represent the third largest urban waterfrontpark system in North America and are considered to be thecity’s greatest physical asset. Landscape and lifestyle define this unique American city.St. Pete’s legacy of civic commitment continues today withthe city undertaking the development of a comprehensivewaterfront master plan while simultaneously creating a newPier. And as it has since 1889, it is our vision that the newPier will celebrate St. Petersburg’s special history, geographyand culture as a subtropical waterfront city.

CONTEXT

St. Petersburg, a city of approximately 250,000 people, iscurrently working with citizens and a multifaceted team tocreate its first master plan for the downtown waterfront since

the early 1900s.

Recent consensus from the meeting on November 13, 2014suggests that the public’s vision and desire to make thewaterfront “A National Model for Waterfront Stewardship,”showing interest in only small changes to the waterfront.

 Anticipated to be adopted on July 1, 2015, the dimensionsand themes of the plan encompass:

1. Stewardship of the Waterfront Environment - A sustainablerelationship between the natural and built environments;

2. Enhancing the Experience of the Water - Expanding St.Petersburg as a waterfront destination for boaters and non‐

boaters;

3. An Active Waterfront Parks System - Diversifying theactivities of the waterfront to meet a growing community

4. Vibrant Downtown Places along the Water - Leveraging theeconomic potential of in‐water and upland areas along thewaters edge; and

5. A Connected, Accessible Downtown + Waterfront -Continuous linkages, service oriented parking + transit,increased public access.

INTEGRATING THE PIER

Recognizing that a new comprehensive waterfrontmasterplan is well underway, we offer these thoughts for howthe new Pier can be integrated into the greater downtown.

2nd Avenue North offers a unique framework in which toconnect the city’s public waterfront with its urban core.Stretching approximately one mile from the Pier (an man-made island surrounded by water) to Mirror Lake (a naturalbody of water surrounded by land), 2nd Avenue boasts arich diversity of assets. It divides neatly into four zones ofroughly equal length with a significant public space markingthe transitions. Between Mirror Lake and Williams Parks isthe city’s governmental center as well as an impressive arrayof religious and educational institutions. Continuing down2nd Avenue to Straub Park is a vibrant retail and lifestylecenter featuring Sundial and Beach Drive. From Straub Parkto Spa Beach is the Uplands, a potentially spectacular publicpark that is currently underutilized. And the last quarter mile

consists of the pier bridge culminating in the city’s iconicsymbol. Our team contemplates four phases of urban revitalization.The first phase focuses on the deliverables of thecompetition including re-inventing the Pier, re-buildingthe pierhead and bridge and creating small “light touch”interventions on the Uplands. Phase two would consist of theimprovement of the remainder of the Uplands as well as theimplementation of the recommendations of the waterfrontmasterplan. In addition to the east-west connection via2nd Avenue North, we recommend the city enhance thepark system in the north-south direction with an improvedboardwalk along North Shore Drive and eventually pedestrian

bridges connecting the Uplands to both Demen’s Landingand Vinoy Park.

REAPING THE FRUITS

One of the main goals of the significant public investmentin the waterfront is to spur continued private investmentwithin the downtown core. Initially this can be encouraged

by establishing a park-once transportation philosophy forthe 2nd Avenue North corridor. A new trolley line should beestablished in conjunction with the re-opening of the Pier thatwill allow for the Pier, the Uplands, Beach Drive and Sundialto be marketed as a single destination for both locals andtourists. This will allow for a consolidation of parking facilitiesallowing for reduction of surface parking within the parklandsand redevelopment of prime downtown land. The third phasewill see the continued beautification of 2nd Avenue Southwith the main goal being the creation of St. Petersburg’sRamblas – a major pedestrian friendly boulevard seamlesslyblending new and historic architecture into a vibrant mix ofcommercial and civic uses. Once established, phase four willtake place organically with continued spin-off development

radiating north and south.

 After the previous pier was destroyedby a hurricane in 1921, a new concretepier was constructed and terminatedwith a Mediterranean Revival stylebuilding that featured a central atriumand continuous viewing arcade on thesecond floor.

Due to the popularity of the RailroadPier another pier was built. Extending3,000 feet into Tampa Bay the ElectricPier was the first that aligned with 2nd

 Avenue North.

Constructed the year after the citywas founded, the Railroad Pier wasbuilt in the current location of Demen’sLanding. Originally intended tosupport shipping, it quickly became asightseeing destination for locals andtourists.

1987 20171973MARKETPLACE ADDITION PROSPECT PIERTHE INVERTED PYRAMID

In keeping with the then popular trendof “festival marketplaces”, retail spaceat the pier was more than doubled witha large first floor addition. A prominentglass enclosed elevator was added tothe front of the structure.

Due to the severe deterioration ofthe 1920’s bridge structure, a newpedestrian-friendly pier will beconstructed. At the landside end ofthe pier, the Pelican parking lot willbecome a new 5-acre park featuring a5,000 person capacity event lawn. TheInverted Pyramid will be re-imaginedand transformed into a potent symbolof the City of St. Petersburg for the 21st

century, absorbing all the history andprojecting into the future.

The Million Dollar Pier building wasdemolished in 1967 to make wayfor the innovative Inverted Pyramid(the 1920’s pier and pier head wereretained). With 40,000 square feet ofinterior space, the large fifth floor roofdeck offered expansive views of TampaBay and the downtown skyline.

CHART OF PIER WORKING GROUP

 VS. PROPOSED DESIGN

Through surveys with the local population of St Petersburg, the desired use, programming, and clientele became evident. Asthe Prospect Pier is designed primarily for the people of St. Petersburg’s continual use through all seasons, our team designedthe program directly from these surveys.

It was evident that some of the important factors were:

 A. An actively ever-changing programmed pier with both indoor and outdoor activities and spaces targeting the local andvisiting population

B. A place that becomes emblematic of memorable momentsC. Continuous programming along the full length of the pier and not only at the pier headD. Both commercial and recreational usesE. Considerable recreational activities for a variety of agesF. Transportation options to make the programming more accessible.

4.2 ACTIVITIES CALENDAR

 ANNUAL SCHEDULE

The building lighting system will accommodate celebrations of the city’s most festive events.

The Prospect Pier is designed to accommodate a variety of age groups, inclinations and schedules. It provides a platform uponand in which the events of peoples lives happen. From formal and informal gatherings of diverse sizes, to recreational activities,educational experiences, opportunities for exercise in groups or alone, entertainment and spectacle.

The spaces allocated for programmed activities are dispersed along the length of Prospect Pier. Each element of the Pier

however was designed to be actively flexible encouraging social interaction. Lighting design was integral to support thetransitions between spaces as well as the activation of its program and uses.

PROPOSED WEEKLY PROGRAMMING

Preceding the design, we analyzed the potential uses of the surrounding buildings. The table below is a speculative exerciseon how the population can explore this new destination.

4.3 URBAN CONCEPT

URBAN NARRATIVEThe renovation of the Pier creates an opportunity for a mid- and long-term strategy for the redevelopment of St. Petersburg’scity center. Prospect Pier will be the catalyst for this transformation. Extending one mile from Mirror Lake to the Pyramid, 2nd

 Avenue North creates a narrative that reveals St. Pete’s relationship between city and water. This promenade sits at the heartof the city and is framed by many of St. Petersburg’s most important institutions, private buildings and public spaces. Dividedneatly into four quarter-mile long segments, Phase 1 entails the rejuvenation of the eastern end. Building upon this success weenvision 2nd Avenue North as a world class Promenade gathering together both locals and visitors to enjoy its natural beautyand vibrant urbanity.

4.5 BRANDING AND SIGNAGE STRATEGY 

The iconic shape of Prospect Pier offers a brandingopportunity for the city. The pyramid of St. Petersburg ispart of its history while offering a new vision for its future.Prospect Pier represents its citizens and translates the city’stopicality and proximity to the water. Beyond the graphiclogo, the branding and signage strategy for Prospect Pierdevelops a digital platform that engages the communityin an active manner. The digital interaction encourages a

symbiotic exchange between St. Petersburg’s citizens andthe pier administration. The branding and user interfacedevelopments offers an iconic design, experience, andlandmark to propel a new vision of St. Petersburg.

The design for the Uplands and Pier is fundamentally aboutconnecting people to their precious resource, their waterfront.The design is simple and pure. It creates a half mile longpromenade that maximizes human experience, transitioningfrom an urban environment, through a Coastal waterfrontlandscape, to the Pier and the Pyramid. The Pyramid itself isdesigned as an extension of the Pier and the city.

THE UPLANDS PROGRAM PLAN

THE 2ND AVENUE PROMENADE

The 2nd Avenue Promenade is designed to be a grand vehicular and pedestrian link from the inland Cityscape to thewaterfront. A formal ‘allee’ of Medjool Palms and pedestrian lighting lines the ¼ mile long street creating a grand sense ofarrival while framing the Pyramid building at the end of the Pier. Pedestrian walks, bike lanes and vehicular access are carefullydesigned to maximize access to the History Museum, Spa Beach Park and the Pier entry itself. 2nd Avenue Promenadeterminates at the Entry Plaza. The Plaza included trolley stops and an automotive drop-off turnaround and demarks the

beginning of the Pier approach accessible to pedestrians, bicycles, and trolleys.

THE THRESHOLD

Situated between Spa Beach and the Event Lawn, the ‘Threshold’ is the ceremonial entrance to the Pier. Demarcated byinwardly tilted lawn planes, the Threshold frames the distant view to the Pyramid while referencing the sky and the open andexpansive nature of the bay. It is designed to be beautiful and functional, connecting the Uplands to the new Pier elevation, aswell as connecting Spa Beach and the Event Lawn with a series of terraced beach and lawn planes.

volleyball nets and lawn games and temporary kayak and paddle boat rental center, with water access from the new transientdock located to the south, until a dedicated boat rental facility is built.

5. PALM GROVE CRUSHED SHELL BEACHThis crushed shell environment will create a visually distinctive floor that is excellent for hosting public events, strolling andrelaxing. This feature offers sand volleyball facilities and movable furnishings that allow for people sit and enjoy the bay andbeach activities.

6. COMPACTED BEACH TERRACESTransitioning the vertical difference of the Pier to the Spa Beach is a series of terraces beach planes that are separated byconcrete seat walls. This environment offers beach visitors flattened beach environments in an elevated position to enhanceviews and the water experience. The terraces will offer movable shade umbrellas that add a pop of color and atmosphere to thebeach. 7. THE TERRACED LAWN PANELSOn the opposite side of the pier ramp is the terraced lawn panels. Like the compacted beach panels the lawn terraces verticallytransition the Pier ramp down to the Events Lawn environment. Offering a wide array of park uses such as picnicking, elevatedconcert viewing and views to the boat slips, the terraces are pivotal to the park function.

8. THE EVENTS LAWNThe Events Lawn, edged by a continuous bay walk is a two acre living room of the community. This space is designed to hostmultiple public events with a wide range of scale and capability. The space features a grand open lawn that can support musicfestivals, pick-up sports, arts and crafts fairs, movie nights and community gathering. A grand stage is located on south edge

of the space against a dramatic backdrop of the transient boat dock marina. This location takes advantage of the terracedlawn steps as elevated viewing platforms and allows all passers-by on the pier approach to have an elevated view of all events.

THE ST. PETERSBURG PIER

The desired objective is only possible if the width of the pier is reduced from 100’ to 45’. This results in two very importantexperiential effects. First is the narrow width reduces the visual foreground depth of the hardscape to create a feeling of beingcompletely enveloped by the bay thus maximizing the visual connection to the water on both sides of the pier. Second, thenarrowing of the pier dramatically improves the visual proportions of the pier and amplifies the dramatic sense of perspectiveto the Pyramid building and the pier head. The reduction in pier width also results in significant cost reductions that allow for

the implementation of more pedestrian amenities.

The design of the pier itself features elegant linear concrete and wood seating/shade elements that serve to provide forpedestrian amenity and protection from trolley traffic simultaneously. The spacing of these sculptural elements finds itsinspiration from the nearby Albert Whitted Airport to the south. Air traffic controllers still use Morse code to identify airports.Using Morse code to spell St. Petersburg creates a seemingly random pattern that provides porosity from one side of the pierto the other. An interesting rhythm and cadence is created for the pedestrian to experience as the procession to the Pyramidbuilding is experienced.

4.10 PUBLIC SPACES AND CIRCULATION

UNITING CITY, SEA, AND SKY

The Pyramid is framed by three new beautiful public places. As one approaches the Pyramid the pier widens into City Place.This square is the reception area for the Pyramid and the gathering point for activities within and around the building. Thisplaza relates back to the city to the west. Bayside Place is situated on the east side of the Pyramid. This plaza is dominatedby terraced steps that descend down thereby highlighting the waters of Tampa Bay. It is a place for informal leisure activitiessuch as family picnics, sunbathing, fishing and movies projected out over the bay. Above it all lays Prospect Terrace a stunningspace of cascading levels simultaneously providing spectacular views of the waters of Tampa Bay, the burgeoning downtownskyline and Florida’s soaring skies.

CANOPY

By extending the roof of the original inverted pyramid form, Prospect Pier acts as a new canopy for the pier head. ProspectPier provides additional shaded space to create comfortable areas for outdoor activities on the pier head in addition toincreasing the size of the rooftop observation deck. The studies below illustrate the shadows cast at 9 AM, 12PM, and 4PMduring the four seasons of the year.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

The masterplan for Prospect Pier creates a new urban narrative for St. Petersburg. As a culmination of this narrative, ProspectPier redefines the relationship between the city and its waterfront. The current Pier and Pyramid does not allow a continuouspath to experience the city, the bay and the sky. Prospect Pier, however, creates a new, grand public stair up to and throughthe core of the building thereby creating a fluid connection between the City, Uplands, Pier and Pyramid. This path finallyterminates on an enlarged rooftop observation plaza that is oriented to focus views back to the starting point of one’s journey.

More than just a beautiful building, Prospect Pier reaffirms the Pyramid as the symbol of a new St. Petersburg.

FACADE ASSEMBLY

4.14 FACADE

Typical Use: Cladding panels where high level of detailing and a minimum thickness is required. Used for small non-structuralpanels, and typically fixed onto a backing frame or regular substrate. Panels may be also formed with ribs molded in to allowself-spanning behavior.

Manufacture: GRC panels can be manufactured in two ways:- Spraying - which allows higher fiber content and makes thin sections.- Casting - remix with max fiber content 3.5% and cast as for concrete. Moldable and non-flat panels can be made; repetition in formwork molds essential for economic reasons. We will look torecent developments in concrete formwork to devise a strategy with the contractor. 

Durability: As there is no steel reinforcement present, GFRC panels have proved corrosion resistance in a marine environment.GFRC products have low water, water vapor and air permeability, providing a durability against abrasion, chemical attack,corrosion and ultra-violet radiation. They are also non-combustible.

MATERIALS

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) cladding is composed of a cement: sand(typically 1:1) matrix with 2-5% volume of glass fibers added. These fibers area special Alkali Resistant Glass (ARG) to resist deterioration of the glass under

exposure to the cement. Further resistance to damage is achieved with mineral andorganic polymer additions.

FOUNDATIONS

The existing structure uses steel H-pile foundations to transfer its gravity and lateral loads to the ground and the new schemeaims to reuse the existing foundations. The higher building height and increased width increase the projected area of thebuilding exposed to the wind and consequently increase the load demands on the foundations. While, current estimates showthat the perimeter piles may be overstressed by as much as 35 percent under certain wind events, we anticipate that a detailedreview of existing construction data could demonstrate that the piles have adequate capacity. This review would include areview of existing pile load tests, pile driving records and pile hammer information as well as a corrosion assessment and waveequation analyses of the piles using actual driving data. In the event that such investigation does not justify sufficient capacity,the retrofit strategy would be to connect the existing caissons to the new pier head piles via grade beams. Depending on theresults of the corrosion assessment, corrosion protection measures such as cathodic protection may be required.

BRIDGE

The existing pier is the most typical way to construct piersand the structure selection is driven by two reasons. Theshort spans and driven piles allow for leap-frog constructionavoiding marine equipment. Leap frog construction iswhen the next span is constructed from a crane sitting ona previously constructed span (even small piles as the onesput forward can be driven off the bridge if design correctly).The integral detailing (beams on the same level as piercaps with piles or pier caps acting as shelves) allow for adurable solution in the abrasive marine environment whileaccommodating easy construction of laying light beamsdown first and then casting concrete pockets after to make

composite.

The solution was further refined to allow for drilled shaftswhich reduce the noise during construction. The shaftsare more expensive to construct as they require marineequipment, but their higher capacity reduce the foundationfootprint by 45% (making them a great environmental option)and make them cost competitive with the driven piles.

The framing of both drilled and driven shaft solutions(20ft/40ft) spans allows to completely avoid existing (20ftspacing) foundation footprint. This is desirable for many

reason – it’s better to put foundation in undisturbed soil,and this will allow construction flexibility depending on thesolution for removing piles or leaving in place but cut off.

The longer spans of 40ft which are most optimal for drilledshafts are starting to fall outside the leap frog construction,but the marine equipment already in place to drill the shaftscan be engaged to lay down the superstructure. The longerspans of the drilled shaft solution make it competitive tointroduce pre-stress beams solution which is a great off theshelf solution but more targeted toward 30ft+ span lengths.

Lastly, the easiest construction method is that using FDOTstandard detail of pier cap below the beams which sit onbearings. The client has asked us to pursue this option.While recognizing this will facilitate construction, this maypose durability challenges in the future. An entire width ofthe bridge must be lifted between expansion joints (locationsto be determined) with marine equipment. However, notingthat this is a very low traffic bridge bearing replacement maynot be required for 50-70 years. The choice of this optionwill have no impact on the elevation of the bridge, as the 2ftclearance is above beams and not on the transverse pier capelement.

PYRAMID SUPERSTRUCTURE

The main ambition of the structural scheme for the proposedbuilding structure is to enable the architectural vision withthe least intervention to the existing structure as possible.Based on current engineering reports provided by the citythe existing super structure appears to be in good conditionand capable of sustaining current building code loads. Theexisting load path provided in the building directs all gravityloads from the concrete slabs to the existing floor beamswhich in turn transfer it to the interior columns, which lead itto the exterior sloping columns and then compile it all in theelevator cores at Level 2. (See Figure 1)

This load path manages to maintain most of the gravity

load in either the perimeter sloping columns or the elevatorcores and then congregates all of the gravity load into theconcrete cores at Level 2 which then lead it to the corefoundations and into the ground. Our aim is to respect thisforce flow and redirect any new gravity load to the elevatorcores and perimeter columns. This will avoid any interfacewith the existing interior columns and avoid reinforcement ofinterior building elements, keeping any reinforcement workto the perimeter of the building. This will be accomplishedby using long span floor trusses which span the whole waybetween the building cores and perimeter columns. Belowis a diagram illustrating this as well as one illustrating theincrease in load in the perimeter columns and concretecores. (See Figure 2 & 4)

There are multiple ways to reinforce the existing perimetercolumns for the newly added gravity loads and we can useany of them based on what the construction team deemsmost viable. We have suggested one concept option belowwhich keeps the reinforcement on the exterior side of thecolumns and does not involve any local demolition of theconcrete encasement of the columns. (See Figure 3)

Besides any gravitational loads, the building is also exposedto significant wind loading. All of this load is confrontedfirst by the façade, which then distributes it to the concretediaphragms, which then release it as shear to the fourconcrete cores. All concrete cores act in parallel to resist

this loading and transfer it as shear and bending to the corefoundations below. (See Figure 5)

The new scheme for the building supports the lateral loads inmuch the same way. However, since the projected elevationarea of the building has increased the total wind load towhich the building is exposed is considerably higher. Thehigher load as well as its higher elevation of applicationincrease the shear and moment demands on the concretecores. In order to verify that the existing cores will be ableto sustain the new loads, we performed a section analysisof the cores for the new axial and moment demands. (SeeFigure 6)

5.2 SUSTAINABILITY 

The redevelopment of St Petersburg Pier provides a great opportunity to integrate sustainability holistically in the pier and itsbuildings as a public project. Its relative isolation at the end of the pier makes sustainability a key imperative as utilities need tobe transported further and are exposed to the harsh maritime climate.

By reusing the building and much of the pier we are already making a significant impact by not sending large volumes of waste

to landfill and consuming new materials.

Our design also works with the climate to take advantage of the constant winds to provide cooling without less mechanicalenergy in various spaces. Working with the buildings unique inverted pyramid design we provide shading to facades to reduceheating loads while maximizing the roof area for power generation from photovoltaics. The redevelopment of the pier alsoprovides a potential opportunity to incorporate heat rejecting (for cooling) into the bay which will reduce our energy use further.We will also capture water for reuse within the building.

Sustainability has also been incorporated into the wider development with the introduction of public transport facilitiesincluding electric buses and bike facilities. More green spaces will also private greater public amenity as well as shelter andcooling effect for visitors.

1 ENERGY 

Energy consumption is a critical part of any sustainability strategy for a building. Our focus here has been to work with theclimate to reduce energy consumption then produce power with renewable sources.

1.1 ADAPTIVE COMFORT

For over 50 years public buildings HVAC systems have been designed around the principal of: “Keep everything atapproximately 21oC and 55% Relative Humidity (RH).”

These targets work well because they:

• Are comfortable for occupants• Provide safe conditions for

practically every activity

However, meeting these set points typically:

• Requires costly HVAC systems• Consume relatively large quantities

of energy working overtime to staywithin the tight design limits (± 1-2oCfor the temperature and ±5% for RH)

• Where possible, spaces should bedesigned to achieve an Adaptive

Comfort standard, which accountsfor seasonal variation in naturallyventilated buildings

 VAV / CAV

FREE COOLING POSSIBLECOOLING UP TO 120 W/M2

LARGE FAN ENERGY LOADS

Using adaptive comfort criteria for the St Petersburg Pier, some spaces can use outside air with little to no mechanical heatingor cooling for about 40% of the year. There are certain areas within the St. Petersburg Pier building where comfort conditionscan be relaxed due to the activities that will be carried in this spaces.

Dehumidification of outside air will be required for some spaces. The heating required for the spaces during the coldest part

of the year will help bring Relative humidity levels back inside the limits – meaning less specialized air conditioning will berequired. Using outside air for free cooling may be a viable option during some hours of the year.

1.2 HVAC STRATEGY

The building will be served by a modular air cooled chiller system, providing 150tons (5-duty modules) of 44°F chilled waterthrough duty-standby 300gpm variable primary pumps. These chillers will be located on the roof of the building, and can beconcealed by vegetation. Normally, the vertical discharge of the condensing fans cannot be obstructed. However, these is alsoan option to use heat rejection to the bay instead (see next section). Building heating will be through a single natural gas fired750mbh condensing boiler, which must be located in a rated enclosure.

Interior conditioning will be through two modular VAV indoor air handling units with airside economizer. A 20,000cfm unit willserve the restaurant, and a 22,000cfm unit will serve the remainder of the spaces. Cooling will be through chilled water coils.

Heating will be through hot water preheat coils in the AHUs and heating coils in the VAV boxes.

Space conditioning will be through VAV terminal boxes to serve the separate zones. Each VAV box will be provided with atemperature sensor. A central building automation system (BAS) will control all components of the HVAC system.

 All AHU cooling coils and chiller condenser coils shall be copper-copper or be copper-aluminum with Electrofin coating.

The initial loads are based on the following:

• Net conditioned area: 32,800sf• Well insulated façade• All wall surfaces in the naturally ventilated circulation zone are insulated like exterior walls• No more than 40% glazing area

1.3 HEAT REJECTION TO THE BAY

The location of the St. Petersburg Pier on the water allows for the use of water source cooling/heating. The water temperatureof the bay will not be generally cold enough to provide direct (free) cooling. However, they may offer a lower energy alternativeto air-side heat rejection due to the lower temperature and higher specific heat capacity. Systems may be open-loop (wherewater is extracted directly and pumped through heat exchangers) or closed loop (where a pipework loop is installed on the bedwater body). With salt water systems, closed loop is preferable to alleviate corrosion concerns. The redevelopment of the piercolumns provides an integrated (low cost) way to reject heat to the bay.

1.4 SHADING ANALYSIS

Overheating occurs throughout the year as a result of the transformation of radiant energy emitted by the sun into thermalenergy passing into a building space. The St. Petersburg Pier building shape is already optimal as the building self-shadesthroughout the year. The following figures show the shading projection on an average summer and winter day.

1.5 ROOFTOP SOLAR

Solar photovoltaics on the roof will provide a canopy, shading occupants in some areas. Approximately 8,000 – 10,000 ft2 ofPV will provide approximately 180,000 kWh/yr in electricity for the building. This equates to approximately 25% of the building’senergy load. The system will still be grid connected but the PV system will reduce operational cost and potentially generate

income through net metering. The array will face South and be tilted at least 5° to allow water to drain from the panels.

SOUTH – WEST FACADES SHADING - SUMMER NORTH – EAST FACADES SHADING - SUMMER

Despite reducing the heat gains due to radiation, a high-performance envelope will still be incorporated where the building isenclosed to reducing the energy consumption.

Given the high amount of roof area and strength of solar radiation, a cool roof (highly-reflective roof) or potentially green roofsystem is an easy and effective strategy to mitigate solar gains.

Providing insulation, and thereby reducing the U-value (conductance) of key building envelope components (roof and wall,specifically) will also reduce cooling loads.

The following figures show the percentage of hours each surface is shaded on an average summer and winter day and showthe effectives of keeping the inverted pyramid design.

The glare effects from water should not be a concern. Water typically reflects 20% of solar load as it tends to scatter the light.In terms of glare, water does increase glare but it can be a pleasant effect. Its distance from the water will also reduce thiseffect.

The following figures show the percentage of hours the outdoor sloped areas are shaded on an average summer and winter

day.

2 WATER STRATEGY 

The Pier water strategy is focused on reducing potable water used in the building and capturing run-off and rainwater forirrigation and other non-potable uses.

Water consumption in the building will be reduced at least 20% from a base design scenario by integrating low flow fixturesand incorporating metering and sub-metering to determine the amount of water required by a specific use, building tenant orcentral use.

Rainwater from the roof will be collected and used for non-potable uses such as toilet flushing, irrigation and maintenance. Therainwater tank will be located at the bottom of the structure.

The project shall include a comprehensive, integrated hydrology strategy to reduce runoff and the burden on the municipalsystem. The design will include green infrastructure systems such as bioswales, rain gardens, permeable pavements andgreen roofs that contribute to runoff reduction. These are intended to ensure that both the waters discharged from the systemmeet water quality requirements, while attenuating the peak flows associated with large storm events.

3 OTHER SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES

3.1 MATERIALS

Materials can have a major impact on sustainability in the way that they aresourced. The extraction and processing of materials into useful forms, delivery toprojects and installation are energy intensive processes. In fact, the construction

sector consumes 40% of all extracted materials. Whether a material is part of athe façade, landscape, bridge, building structure or machinery, a philosophy ofconsidering the life cycle of the material and also the contribution of its deploymentto the total design can be adopted.

Refurbishment offers an excellent opportunity to generate a supply of materialssuitable for reuse in either that particular refurbishment or during the constructionor refurbishment of other structures. These include large energy and carbonsavings that would otherwise be accumulated during the life-cycle of newmaterials; including extraction, transportation, refining and production of thesematerials. Other benefits include a diversion of waste from landfill and the potentialfor revenue generation and cost savings.

By reusing the building and much of the pier we are already making a significant

impact by not sending large volumes of waste to landfill and consuming newmaterials. Based on previous experience, projects can potentially achieveEmbodied Carbon savings up to 25%.

Our design also works with the climate to take advantage of the constant winds toprovide cooling without less mechanical energy in various spaces. Working withthe buildings unique inverted pyramid design we provide shading to facades toreduce heating loads while maximizing the roof area for power generation fromphotovoltaics. The redevelopment of the pier also provides a potential opportunityto incorporate heat rejecting (for cooling) into the bay which will reduce our energyuse further. We will also capture water for reuse within the building.

4 LEED CERTIFICATION STRATEGY 

4.1 INTRODUCTION

LEEDTM, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally-recognized green building certificationsystem. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is a matrix based rating system targeted at buildinglevel sustainable assessment. Projects are scored against a set of standard credits and the sum of points determines the levelof certification (Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum).

LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework to identify and implement practical and measurable greenbuilding design, construction, operations and maintenance strategies.

TRANSPORTATION AND ACTIVATING THE PIER

Sustainability has also been incorporated into the wider development with the introduction of public transport facilitiesincluding electric buses and bike facilities. More green spaces will also private greater public amenity as well as shelter andcooling effect for visitors. By activating the spaces along the pier and providing shelter this will encourage walking and bikingproviding health benefits to users.

In addition to providing strategies for achieving a green building, LEED certification can also be used as a marketing tool, sincethe project will acquire advantage over competitors and third-party validation of its sustainable accomplishments.

LEED promotes best practices in:

• Water and energy efficiency• Sustainable land use• Responsible materials selection• Improved indoor environmental quality

 And can be used as:

• A framework for assessing design options early in the design process, and• A rating system for final building certification.

Since LEED is a performance based set of criteria, there are numerous design strategy options that will meet the LEEDrequirements. This design guideline for St. Petersburg Pier, will use the LEED criteria to track design strategy as a decisionmaking tool to keep the project on the sustainable design track. After considering different options for the LEED certificationprocess for this project, we reached the conclusion that LEED- Major Renovation is best suited for the project. As per the LEED

Reference guide, a major renovation involves major HVAC renovation, significant envelope modifications, and major interiorrehabilitation. St. Petersburg Pier upgrade will maintain the existing structure but the façade will be dismounted, and replacedwith a high energy performance envelope, as well as all of the systems and interiors of the building.

This design guideline will contain all the specific requirements for the design and construction teams to develop a building thatcan achieve the desired level of certification following the standard certification process:

The goal desired for this project is to achieve LEED Gold rating under the LEED-Major Renovations v2009.

6. Permitting and Operations

6.1 PERMIT COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL, SWFWMD AND PINELLAS COUNTY 

The FR-EE team will address the design of Prospect Pier for compliance with the demolition permit application currently underreview by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the existing construction permit obtained from the Southwest FloridaWater Management District (SWFWMD), and the permitting requirements by the Pinellas County Water and Navigation Code.

The placement of pier demolition material will require a dredge and fill permit from the USACE as concrete rubble is consideredfill. The project team will prepare a Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 permit application for the placementof the demolition material. The application accurately and thoroughly will present the project approach, the function andvalues of the unconsolidated bottom, and the benefits provided by the viable substrate. The assessment will include detaileddocumentation of the existing seagrass beds and a thorough discussion of the various project elements and the avoidance ofimpacts from construction activities and final configuration of Prospect Pier. Our biologists have extensive experience with thepermitting of artificial reefs, concrete breakwaters, fishing piers, and bridges.

The SWFWMD permit issued was based on the previous pier design and included 0.03 acres of seagrass impacts. ProspectPier does not include any seagrass impacts. As a result, a permit modification will be submitted to document the reductionin impacts. It is anticipated the demolition of the existing pier approaches will be in compliance with the existing SWFWMDpermit. Additionally, the surface water management system proposed by the project team is consistent with the existing

SWFWMD permit and will still qualify for the waiver for certification of compliance with state water quality standards underSection 401 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341.

Pinellas County Commercial and Multi-use Dock permit applications will be prepared for the wet slips and a Pinellas CountyWater and Navigation Dredge and Fill permit application will be prepared for the pier and the disposal of the concretedemolition material.

FR-EE’s project team will assess the option of placing the clean concrete substructure and decking for ecological restorationat a site just north of the Pier and adjacent to North Shore Park. The area shown in the figure on the opposite page isapproximately 92,000 square feet. A report presented in 2005 assessed the ecological values of selected dredge holesin Tampa Bay. The report concluded that the location identified as North Shore was described as the “most degradedbiologically”. According to the report, the site is generally 12 feet deep. The placement of material will provide viable artificialreef habitat.

Benthic surveys will be performed by qualified biologists to assure additional seagrass areas have not become establishedsince the July 19, 2012 survey. This effort will avoid unexpected permit compliance issues during construction.

Clear construction documents will be prepared to provide specific approaches for Skanska for the avoidance of impacts toadjacent seagrasses, including secondary impacts from activities such as dewatering, pile driving, barge and other water craftstaging and access.

The renovated building has a total of 47,400 square feet of interior space and 27,000 square feet of outdoor terrace (notincluding the pier and pier head). At one space per 500 square feet, the building will require 149 parking spaces including 5handicap accessible spaces. The existing Dolphin parking lot on the Uplands has 312 spaces thereby meeting the minimumparking requirements. The Dolphin lot also has several parking spaces for large vehicles such as school buses. The Pelicanparking lot has been eliminated in favor of a new 5-acre park. Parking on the pier has also been eliminated.

SERVICE AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES

Emergency and service vehicles will utilize the 24 foot wide center lane of the new pier in order to access the renovatedbuilding. A public plaza on the west side of the building doubles as a cul-de-sac for emergency and service vehicles and

accommodates vehicles requiring a 90 foot diameter turning radius. Temporary parking in the plaza will be allowed by servicevehicles during limited morning hours. The new main entry to the facility has been elevated to the existing second floor viaterraced steps surrounding the building. The north portion of the first floor will be a service area with a loading dock and trashroom, both having easy access to the service elevator.

To service the new Event Lawn at the southeast corner of the Uplands, a new parking and service lot is proposed west of theEvent Lawn. This lot will accommodate approximately 40 cars and 4 semi-trailer trucks or buses. This lot is not generally opento the public but is intended for supporting the staging of a variety of different events and activities.

TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS

Two main goals underlie our scheme’s approach to transportation issues for the new pier. First, we are favoring pedestriansand bicycles over automobiles while still providing for reasonable accommodation for private vehicles. Second, it is critical that

the St. Petersburg Pier be better integrated into the downtown experience.

Towards the first goal the Pelican lot is being converted to parkland and private vehicles will not be allowed on the new pier. A trolley stop is located at the east end of the Dolphin lot and there will be a drop-off zone immediately adjacent to the trolleystop.

The new pier will be 45 feet wide and designed in a manner that seamlessly allows for pedestrians to have full access to thebridge. Vehicles will be limited to the central 24 feet. The central area will function as a woonerf shared between trolleys,bicycles and pedestrians. Service vehicles will be limited to morning hours and of course emergency vehicles will have accessas needed. The north and south zones of the pier will be limited to pedestrians. Between the center zone and the pedestrianzones will be an alternating series of heavy duty seating and shade structures to separate the vehicles and also allow the outerguardrail to be lightweight and transparent. Lastly the entire surface of the pier will be topped with a composite concrete deckinstalled at the same level to again allow easy access for pedestrians.

In addition to free trolleys running between the Uplands and Prospect Pier, we envision that premium smaller shuttles couldoperate at select times (i.e. Friday and Saturday evenings) and during special events (i.e. weddings, black tie dinners) for a fee.

In order to better integrate the Pier into downtown, we propose that the trolley route be extended to include Beach Drive,Sundial and the Sundial parking garage. Individually these are each local and metropolitan attractions; together they becomeregional or even national in scope. A park-once philosophy should be applied that encourages visitors to one location indowntown to visit others. To achieve this goal a free trolley running at 10 to 12 minute intervals needs to provide easy accessfrom one attraction to the next.

In the long term the goal is to better utilize St. Petersburg’s assets both public and private. For too long too much of theUplands has been dedicated to asphalt and too little for beautiful, functional parkland.

COMPARISON OF EXISTING PIER FOOTPRINT TO PROPOSED

The footprint for the proposed pier and pier head is 108,600 square feet which is less than half the size of the existing footprintof 226,000 square feet thus providing a design that is consistent with the existing SWFWMD permit.

 APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF PILES IN NEW PIER

The selected structural system will greatly reduce the number of piles from approximately 1,500 under the existing pier to 125in the proposed design. The new piles are placed in rows with 40 foot spans in comparison to the existing piles which have 20foot spans. The new rows are offset 10 feet from the existing so that there will be no conflict with installing the new piles. Noneof the existing piles are proposed to be re-used.

 AREA OF EXISTING SEAGRASS IMPACTED BY NEW PIER

The proposed design will not impact any seagrass beds. The construction documents will provide specific performance criteriafor the construction of the new pier to assure impacts do not occur in the adjacent seagrass beds. Specific criteria will includedetailed water quality monitoring to document the contractor’s successes during construction as well as seagrass surveysimmediately prior to construction and immediately after construction.

ROOF AREA OF STRUCTURES ABOVE PIER DECK LEVEL

The proposed roof area of the renovated pyramid will be 35,800 square feet.

CHANGES TO FISHING ELEVATION AND EXTENT OF FISHING AREAS

Generously sized fishing areas have been distributed around the pier head. We are proposing three fishing docks totaling 340linear feet and 3,700 square feet. The fishing docks are 6 feet lower than the pier head at an elevation of 7’-4” above mean sealevel. A bait shop has been located within the first floor of the Pyramid and has direct access to the pier head. Fish cleaningtables are proposed to be located on both the southwest and northwest fishing docks. In addition several fishing stations havebeen located on the Uplands and along the length of the pier.

LANDSIDE ELECTRIC SERVICES

Landside electric services will include power pedestal(s) suitable for event connections. Event connections are estimated to benot more than a total of 400 amps at 208 volts. Parking and street lighting is anticipated to be served from an existing electricservice.

BRIDGE

Bridge lighting and power is anticipated to be served from an existing electric service. New loads are anticipated to beapproximate to the existing loads.

PIER BUILDING

 An upgraded 2500A electric service from the utility to metering and free standing switchgear is anticipated to serve the pierbuilding. The conduit pathway and delineation of service between the utility company and building shall be reviewed andagreed. It is anticipated that the existing electric service pathway crosses the bridge, and that a replacement pathway will berequired.

Tenant metering will be incorporated at the main service equipment level. It is anticipated that the existing electrical room forthis purpose will be enlarged since the original service was smaller and did not have separate tenant metering. There shall be aquantity of 8 tenant meter compartments.

From the tenant metering compartments, 480 volt feeders will be routed up through the stacked electrical closets and out tothe individual tenant spaces. It is assumed that the electric service provided to each tenant will be terminated in an enclosedcircuit breaker within the tenant’s space. Electrical distribution, including transformation to 208 volts, specific to the tenant’sloads will be by the tenant. The common building services will be served via 2000 amp copper busway routing up through theelectrical closet stack at 480 volts. Individual bus tap boxes, mounted to the busway, will be required at each floor to servelocal 480 volt distribution panels. This shall include bus tap boxes serving each elevator, as well as feeders to major mechanicalequipment such as the rooftop chillers. 208 volts for common building services will be derived from 480 volts at the busway viaenergy efficient, K-rated dry type transformers. Additional branch electrical closets are anticipated specifically to serve Level 6and the rooftop mechanical equipment.

 All wiring shall be copper. All bussing shall be copper.

It is assumed that any backup power requirements will be limited to those supporting life safety functions. Local battery packsat egress lighting and exit fixtures shall be provided.

TOTAL AREA OF AIR-CONDITIONED SPACE PROPOSED

Over five levels the renovated building will have 32,800 square feet of air-conditioned space. In addition there will be 14,600square feet of interior non-conditioned space and 27,000 square feet of roof terraces.

TOTAL AREA OF PROPOSED LEASABLE SPACE AND TOTAL COMMON AREA 

There will be 27,200 square feet of leasable space, all of which will be air-conditioned. There is a total of 20,200 square feet ofinterior common area – 5,600 square feet that is air-conditioned and 14,600 square feet that is non-conditioned. In additionthere is 27,000 square feet of common area roof terraces. The 5th floor restaurant would have access to a large portion of theadjacent roof terrace for outdoor dining.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE FOR EACH SPACE

1st Floor – The lowest level of the building will have the main service spaces including loading dock, trash room, main electricalroom, rainwater cistern and general storage. Public spaces include the lower lobby and restrooms. The three 1st floor leasablespaces are a Snack Shack, Bait Shop and Bicycle Rental Shop.

2nd Floor – The entire 2nd floor is the Open-Air Lobby. Open to views and breezes on all four sides it is the main entry to

the building and is accessed by grand steps and terraces that surround the building and integrate it into the pier head. Amonumental stair continues the public pathway up from the 2nd floor.

3rd and 4th Floor – These two floors comprise the Marine Discovery Center. The main entry to the Discovery Center is on the3rd floor. In addition to exhibition space this floor contains the gift shop and administrative offices and support spaces. The 4thfloor continues the exhibitions which spiral around the perimeter of the building. Also on this level is the educational wing of theDiscovery Center and an auditorium space. The public pathway to the roof continues up through the center of the building withviews of Tampa Bay on the 3rd floor. Public restrooms are located on the 4th floor.

5th Floor – The top and largest floor is split roughly in two. The east half contains a large destination restaurant with the diningroom in the southeast corner and banquet room located in the northeast corner – both served by a central kitchen. The westportion of the 5th floor is an observation deck with outdoor dining enhanced by spectacular views of the downtown skyline.The vertical public pathway arrives at the 5th level where it also enjoys these same views.

Roof Terrace – Via two access points the 5th floor observation deck continues up and over the restaurant. The terraced deckis interspersed with subtropical landscaping and provides additional space for informal gatherings and decks while having 360degree views of the entire Tampa Bay area.

PROPOSED TYPE AND TONNAGE OF HVAC SYSTEM

The building will be served by a modular air cooled chiller system providing 150 tons off 44 degree chilled water through dutystandby 300 gpm variable primary pumps. Building heating will be through a single natural gas fired 750 mbh condensingboiler. Interior conditioning will be through two modular VAV indoor air handling units.

See section 5.2 for a more complete description of the proposed system.

TYPE AND NUMBER OF PROPOSED ELEVATORS

Our design calls for two new passenger elevators and one new service elevator. In each of the existing twin elevator shafts anew single custom width passenger elevator would be installed. These would be high efficiency, machine room-less, gearless,mid-rise elevators with a capacity of 4,000 pounds and speed of 200 fpm. Both passenger elevators would accommodatestretchers for medical emergencies. The existing service elevator would be replaced with a new elevator. It too would be a highefficiency, machine room-less, gearless, mid-rise elevator with a capacity of 2,500 pounds and speed of 150 fpm.
