AgendaAgenda
IntroductionIntroductionBudget limited initial project
– Prospect of a $5 - $6 Million Grant– Limited vision and scope
Technology CenterPlanetariumClassrooms
– How and where do we want students to work?
PKAL Facilities WorkshopSite VisitsNew Thoughts
– Include aging infrastructure– Include options for interdisciplinary
science– Include options for swing space,
expansion space
Library Study Carrels
Chemical Fume Hood
Stalled: Grant proposal deniedRevisited the project with total assessment of scope
– How do we teach science?– How do we do research with
students?

“The Big Idea”“The Big Idea” Demolish outdated auditorium to create space for new addition and provide swing space
Create new Atrium to – integrate the building
vertically – Establish “landmark”
element – Step floor plans– Interactive space– Move study space from
controlled library environment to “commons”
Flank Atrium with Tech. Center and Science LibraryPlan phased construction with CM to shorten timeline from 60 to 30 monthsBuilding HVAC zoned vertically allowed “half and half” division
– Construct two new additions on east and west ends

Role of the Project ShepherdRole of the Project Shepherd
Advocate for building faculty and building staffOwner representative to architects and contractorsAttend all design development and contractor meetingCommunicate plans and progress to building occupantsEnsure that subcommittees are making progress and meeting deadlinesWork with Vice President on design and decision makingGet quick decisions; timely answers to questionsFirst responder to inconveniences (e.g., noise, dust, fumes)Plan, coordinate, and execute personnel and program relocationsCoordinate furniture, AV, and technology bidding and installation
PlanningPlanning
Appoint Project ShepherdPublic meetings with building occupantsForm subcommittees and generate tasksProvide departmental “footprints” and guidelines for designs
– Faculty offices– Department lobby with adjacent breakroom– Student lounge– Seminar rooms, classrooms, computer labs– Dual purpose classrooms/labs– Plan for the next generation of faculty and students

Lessons LearnedLessons Learned
Prototype “Mock-up” ClassroomPrototype “Mock-up” Classroom
Dual motorized screens– Yes – in classrooms ≥ 20– No – seminar rooms
Prototype “Mock-up” ClassroomPrototype “Mock-up” Classroom
Slide projectors on scissor lifts– No– Cost– Unwieldy access– Do not need 2 projectors in every
classroom
Prototype “Mock-up” ClassroomPrototype “Mock-up” Classroom
Hidden ceiling projectors– No– Cost– New models are smaller and
less conspicuous

Professor’s podium– Computer with DVD player– VCR– Cable TV– Document camera
• No – not used– Added laptop connection– Added push button control

Every seat hard-wired– No– Not used in “mock-up” classroom– Wiring seats essentially fixes table location– Cost– Classrooms are “wireless” ready. Power in
floor boxes
Wire versus Wireless?Wire versus Wireless?Wireless. Entire building is wireless ready
– Determine locations of receivers– Power and data in ceiling
Wire– Speed and bandwidth
• Faculty offices• Instructional stations in classrooms• Library
– Density of users• Computer labs• Chemistry, geology and physics labs
– Other• Atrium• A few seats in classrooms

Owner Contingency FundsOwner Contingency Funds
Add contingency funds as part of the total project budgetWhy?
– Unexpected conditions– There will always be changes to the design during the construction phase– These changes are expensive
Contingency funds serve as “bank account” to make necessary changes without increasing project cost
Impact of New FacilitiesImpact of New Facilities
Students have an “academic home”Many faculty are rapidly moving to Power Point and multimediaPublic study spaces are tremendously popular with students from all disciplinesIt is not just a science building anymore
Peeler Art CenterPeeler Art Center
Began with cost limited budget of $5,000,000
National competition for architect
Designed to departmental needs
Setback – grant was denied
Project resumed stimulated by donor interest
Enlarged vision based on photography and sculpture needs
Added technology- enhanced teaching spaces in excess of departmental needs to draw others to new building
Donor wanted major gallery and acoustically enhanced auditorium for performances and gallery lectures

Observations Observations
Role of shepherd in one-department building vs. multi-department buildingWith individual studios, risk and reward of design by single usersComplex management of furnishings and technology budgetsLink in planning to A/V and IT needs of department and guests
– Faculty stations– Dual projectors
Build, if not finish unassigned space such as complete basementMatching specialized services to other services on campus
– Digital video lab– Digital Design Lab– Slide library becomes campus-wide visual resource center for 35 mm
and digital imagesValue Engineering Phase of each Project
– Phases– Future development– Deletions– Scope Changes– Compromises
