Designed around the theme of assembly and open debate, the Forum is a central part of the University of Exeter’s campus, forming a new, high profile front door to the university. The Forum project saw several structures built or refurbished and unified under a flowing gridshell roof. As well as unifying these buildings and hosting a dramatic new reception, the roof shelters a range of state-of-the-art teaching and discussion spaces.

As a central feature of the Forum, the vision for the roof was to create an enclosed street that links all of the facilities. Engineered to increase the appeal of the university by providing world class facilities that attract the very best students and talent, this project is also exemplary in its energy efficiency. Despite an increase in the area of over 130%, the scheme only consumes 40% more energy than that previously used by the old library alone.

K E Y F A C T S :• State-of-the-art development of the University of Exeter’s campus• Connects several facilities under an extensive curved

gridshell roof• Raised the status of the university on all major league tables;

reaching 7th in The Times ‘Good University Guide’ and awarded the Sunday Times ‘University of the Year 2012/13’

• The investment resulted in the university scoring very highly (85.7%) in the National Student Services Survey

• Received 9 industry awards including RIBA National Award, Higher Education/Research Building of the Year at the prestigious World Architecture Festival in 2013, Civic Trust Award and Green Apple Award

The roof incorporates extensive acoustic absorption to allow for a wide variety of uses in the street space.

A real time digital auralisation demonstrated the acoustic environment to the client. This allowed them to hear the effects of issues such as heavy rain on the ETFE roof panels to a rock concert in the adjacent Great Hall.

The client set our design teams very tough sustainability targets: to beat Part L energy guideline figures by 10% and to achieve 10% renewable energy on site, with the aim to achieve the sought-after BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating on completion.

The Result:With annual Part L CO2 emissions of over 27% belowbuilding regulations requirements, at only 13.7kg/m2, and an EPC rating of 36(B), the energy performance exceeds the brief by a large margin, achieving the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

At over 3200m2 in area, spanning up to 27m and with over 2000 individual beams, the largest freeform timber gridshell roof in the UK provides a beautiful response to the constraints of the site and saves over 65 tonnes of CO2 when compared to a steel structure.

It is expected that 80% of all current university building stock will still be with us in 2050. That’s why this approach is critical to how we, as engineers, contribute to future buildings (and cities) across the UK and beyond.”

Andy Keelin Group Director, Building Services BuroHappold Engineering

The energy strategy was developed to maximise the passive design potential of the building, promoting excellent daylight and natural ventilation. Thermal modelling was undertaken against current and future weather files to ensure comfortable internal conditions. Efficient systems and intelligent controls are used throughout. Rooftop photovoltaics and a combined heat and power (CHP) system provide renewable energy to the building.

Daylight linking systems control LED lights in perimeter rooms, together with presence and absence detection elsewhere, by dulling or switching off during times when sufficient natural lighting is available.

Along with photovoltaic panels on the roof, these measures will significantly reduce running costs for the building.

BuroHappold pioneered a bespoke Sustainability Framework which aimed to reach beyond BREEAM by setting ambitious project specific targets across 10 headline themes and 50 sub-themes. Headline targets included a 40% reduction in operational carbon emissions, 30% reduction in water use per person and 60% total roof coverage for biodiverse green roofs.

A comprehensive evidence handbook was produced setting design, construction and post occupancy targets, developed through fully facilitated stakeholder engagement workshops with all building users, the University Estates Energy, Environment and Facilities Management teams. The framework was presented to the Cambridge City Council Planning Authority who fully supported its unique and robust approach to sustainability.

BuroHappold performed detailed structural fire engineering studies proving that the supporting columns of the intricate atrium structure could easily surpass fire resistance expectations from local building codes. With the majority of columns already passing fire resistance requirements without the need for additional applied fire proofing, we were able to achieve a high quality finish, along with reduced future maintenance requirements and also a significant cost saving - all without comprimising on safety.

Daylighting analysis of the atrium verified the optimal frit pattern on the vertical glazing and skylight to create the balance between the amount of cooling required to meet thermal comfort conditions and passive solar heating.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of the atrium verified thermal comfort can be maintained with a displacement air system and radiant floor heating and cooling - these initiatives contributed to the project’s 20% overall energy savings over ASHRAE 90.1.

As one of the first passively smoke vented atriums in America, our design saved the owner approximately $1m by eliminating costly mechanical equipment and emergency generators from the project scope. (Passive smoke exhausted via operable roof panels).

High level stratified air will be exhausted from the atrium and used in a total heat recovery process to precondition the building ventilation air.

An integrated design approach led to a successful design process for the atrium. BuroHappold modeling studies allowed the following opportunities to be validated and implemented:

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling was used to demonstrate a passive atrium smoke exhaust approach. The passive approach uses natural ventilation rather than mechanical equipment to purge smoke during a fire scenario.

Wind and temperature effects on the passive smoke management system were accounted for within each fire scenario modeled. The wind effects were established based upon data of the prevailing directions and speed for both a winter and summer condition for the St Louis area. A total of four environmental condition simulations were presented for each scenario.

The passive smoke model passed all requirements of the International Building Code and National Fire Protection Association and was accepted by the State Fire Marshall.

CFD Modeling



Exit Modeling

The purpose of the smoke control system is to provide a tenable environment to enable evacuation of the building occupants.

Egress time is calculated to the point where occupants reach a place of relative safety and away from the effects of the fire i.e. last occupant crosses the boundary of the atrium into an egress stair or directly to the exterior.

Monkton Combe’s newly appointed Director of Music found their existing facility cold, undersized and uninspiring.

The brief required an exceptional solution to create an outstanding new home for the school’s muscial future; a mixture of small practice rooms, a rehearsal hall for a full orchestra, multiple recording studios, storage space for instruments, offices and a teaching classroom, all to be housed within the footprint of the existing building.

K E Y F A C T S :• ‘Shattered’ timber panels scatter sound around

specific events• Mixed use of space inspiring creativity

Our cutting edge engineering solutions led the way for the inspirational architectural forms, allowing the functional to work in absolute harmony with the aesthetic.



The more uneven and textured the surfaces, the more they will scatter sound. In the David Bowerman Hall we used many and varied angles for the wall panelling.

Specularreflection

Diffusereflection

Our acoustics team led the architectural design and many aspects of their unique solutions are not only functional but also carry a strong architectural theme. This has resulted in visually inspiring rooms such as the David Bowerman Hall, where the walls and ceiling are clad with a distinctive ‘shattered’ pattern of timber panels that diffuse sound, giving the room a beautifully enveloping sound, as well as an inspiring appearance.

Variable AcousticsElectrically operated acoustic banners make it possible to tailor the room’s acoustics to specific events by optimising the balance between clarity and reverberance. The banners allow increased absorption of sound within the room, which returns less reflected sound - this may suit a rock concert scenario where a fuller, flatter sound is required, whilst a classical music event may require enhanced diffuse reflection for a more enveloping sound.

The results have been enthusiastically greeted by musicians and audiences.

We love exceeding your targetsAt the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, our roof light and window design achieves 97% internal natural lighting, saving energy. We also introduced two wind turbines to reduce emissions, these provide most of the site’s energy and will have repaid AMRC’s investment within nine years.

When 5,000 students demand quality teaching in quality teaching spaces, you have to find ways to make new builds pay their way. The Napier Sighthill Campus at the University of Edinburgh is one example where the energy strategy paves the way for spending more money on teaching than on running costs. Wherever possible, we optimised the passive control of spaces through a detailed analysis of the orientation of the building and solar shading, saving on energy costs.

I S Y O U R C A M P U S F I T E N O U G H T O A C H I E V E Y O U R A M B I T I O N S ?

Research has shown a clear link between the design of the campus and campus buildings with the recruitment, retention and satisfaction of staff and students. In an increasingly competitive education landscape our engineering has helped a number of universities and private schools achieve a competitive advantage, accommodating ambitious growth plans. We have also undertaken an extensive piece of research (Universities Challenged) to inform our designs, which has revealed some quite unexpected insights (please contact us to learn more).

Sensitive design that creates inviting spacesAt the Bard Center (USA) the brief required us to open up a lab, teaching and office spaces to create a dynamic faculty. To do this required some ingenuity and our simple but stylish answer was to create a backbone for the building, a spine that could house crucial fume hoods that were accessible for maintenance and monitoring, but hidden to create expansive sightlines and promote interaction.

An environmental slantAt the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine we thought outside the ‘black box’ to create the first BREEAM ‘excellent’ status lab in Europe. Low carbon targets and sustainable solutions were engineered into the building framework reducing the carbon footprint by 18%.

Award winning engineering design that achieves a lot more than glowing praiseRIBA awards don’t come easily but when they do, the engineering has to equal the architectural ambition. In Denmark our fire engineers provided an industry first for the country at the Syddansk University. We implemented a bespoke, high pressure water mist system, capable of rapidly extinguishing a fire, ensuring the safety of visitors to the Alsion campus.

Similarly, Burntwood School, UK - was a recipient of the RIBA Stirling prize. Our engineering design helped to express the unique architectural vision. Yet it combined a functional and considered environmental statement that exploited the thermal mass of the structure to manage the heating, cooling and ventilation demands.

Whatever the scale of your campus and its assets…We know how to think big. In Kuwait City there is an ambition to build one of the world’s largest educational campuses by uniting five disparate sites into one, to create Kuwait University. Our masterplan and infrastructure design revealed multiple ways to integrate and overcome the necessary, if unglamorous, elements required to make a ‘mini city’. Utilities such as transportation, fire and evacuation, drainage and water management form a complex system which will operate at the highest efficiency levels.
