Green Ramp
Composition- The ramp starts to the east from the main entrance of Seaton Hall. The green ramp leads towards the atrium and to the most public space in the building. The ramps structure is made up of a waffle slab which is supported by reinforced concrete columns. The green ramp parts are con-structed with an interconnected membrane. This allows the ramp to remain connected. This mem-brane also allows water to drain through to the water retention basin below the base of the ramp.
Seating Arrangements- The east part of the ramp is composed of limestone seating and path, as well as grass lawns. The design intention was to allow patrons to use our ramp for leisure like a grass lawn. Contrasting the green lawns are two limestone seating spaces which many people can converse and people watch. The west side of the ramp will have more of a forest garden fell. This side of the ramp will have park benches for a more intimate feel of seating as opposed to the east side of the ramp.
Vegetation- Inside the atrium will be a tree as well as a number of prairie grasses. This was designed to show how the root systems grow by diagramming where the root systems are growing. The root systems will be growing through the sustainability store. The ramp through the atrium will also have grass which can grow in the shade. The west side of the ramp will have many trees creating more of a forest feel. Trees that the landscape program analyzes will be planted in this area to make it easy to teach and learn about native trees.
Sustainable pavement- The pavement through the ramp will use the recycled limestone as aggregate for the path as well as the seating on the ramp. This is one way the project recycles the existing build-ing and makes something old into something new.

Ramp Structure
The basic structure of a vegitative roof applies to the ramp construction. Only shallow plant life would be used for most of the front ramp, while the back would hold tree life and other vegita-tion.

Studio Bar Structure
Studio Bar Structure- The structure of the studio bar originates from the existing structure of Seaton Hall. The bar is supported in the center and cantilevers over the ramp on both the east and west sides of the ramp. The bar cantilevers out feet at its farthest point this required a girder of 4 feet thick to support the load of the cantilever. The tributary area determined that a w should be used to support the necessary loads. Around the perimeter of the structure are structural tension wires. The tension wires on the edge pull the force of the cantilever back to the center of the bar where it is sup-ported. The tension wires in the center where the bar is supported are crossed to support the build-ing in both directions because in the center of the bar the cantilevers are pulling in both directions.

Kansas State 2025 PlanStainability Research Center
Mechanics Hall would be an enormous asset to Kansas State’s 2025 Visionary plan, the step by step path to becoming nationally recognized as a top 50 public research university. The building would be able to adapt as needs change throughout the implication of the plan. There is adequate space for administrative offices and could develop into a stainability research center with classrooms and work space that could be used by different colleges in the university to help make Seaton the heart of cam-pus.
Colleges using stainability research center:
College of Architecture, Planning and Design College of Engineering College of Agriculture College of Human Ecology College of Arts and Sciences: Geology Department

EnergyWind
Campus does not have sufficient wind speeds to use wind turbines efficiently to substantially power Seaton Hall; also the numerous buildings and trees would cause turbulance that would hinder turbine eficiency. Nevertheless, wind power is one of Kansas’s most valuable resources and there are suitable locations for wind turbines to the northwest of campus near power lines that could bring electricity to Seaton. This could produce enough electricity on an average day to fully power Seatons peak electri-cal needs (This is using the estimated power usage of computers, the main power consumer consid-ering there will be zero heating and cooling needs for the building). Excess power produced durring excessive wind and low power useage could be sent to the grid to be used by other buildings on campus.

EnergySolar
Based on the amount of solar energy that reaches the ground in Topeka, it is reasonable to estimate that Manhattan receives enough sunlight to power a substantial amount of Seaton’s energy needs. The solar panels placed on the sawtooth roof over the existing Seaton would be enough to offset up to 30 percent of Seaton’s power needs during the daylight hours. The solar panels would work in junction with the wind turbines to offset when sufficient wind is not available and would be visible from Seaton Hall and other buildings, showing how the College of Architecture Planning and Design is making strides towards sustainability.

Building ReuseLEED Materials and Resources Credits 1.1 & 1.2
Reuse of Existing StructureOpen web frames have recently been placed in “The Link” of Seaton which will be torn down in the renovation of Seaton. The structural elements can be reused as the handrails and structure for new catwalks cutting across the lobby space.
Reuse of New Sawtooth SkylightsSeaton Court has been renovated with new skylights within the saw-tooth. These skylights can be relocated after the demolition of Seaton Court into the renovated portion of Seaton.
Reuse of LimestoneLimestone from the demolition of Seaton Court will be reused as pavers and aggregate in the new ramp.

Roof SkylightsLEED Sustainable Sites, Credit 7.2
Naturally Lit SpacesTo achieve more comfort within each space, roof louvers are designed to allow for diffuse light to enter newly constructed spaces. Each louver is spaced to line up directly on the north edge and overlap on the south to block direct light from interfering with students drawing tables and computer screens. The upper louver is utilized as a green roof to reduce heat island effect and protect the ozone as specified by LEED: Sustainable Sites, Credit 7.2.
21
South FacadeGrasshopper
Grasshopper & GalapagosOur south facade uses a unique script created in Grasshopper, a plug-in for Rhino 3D Modeling. A challenge was present-ed to allow for a significant amount of diffuse light through the southern facade, but without allowing direct light through as it will disturb the students’ drawing tables and computer screens. The script is utilized to create three layers within the facade. Horizontal louvers are measured and spaced to block sun to the extent of the summer and winter solstices. On the outside of the louvers, vertical fins block a portion of the sun as it sets past the louvers extent. A panel on the inside of the louvers calculates the sun rays that are not blocked by the vertical fins according to the winter azimuth. This creates the most amount of diffuse light possible without allowing direct light to enter the space. Each of the layers are spaced to cre-ate a double facade and allow for air to circulate through the facade ventilating the interior spaces.
A new tool has been added recently to Grasshopper called Galapagos. This tool is referred to as an evolutionary solver. Galapagos calculates a solution using the process of evolution and survival of the fittest. An amount of variables are al-lowed to be input into the tool and calculated to find a specific solution. This is useful in relation to this facade system created by calculating the amount of diffuse light allowed into the space. The required amount of diffuse light for a studio space is 40%. Given the parameters mentioned above, Galapagos can determine the correct randomized pattern to allow for 40% diffuse light to penetrate the facade.

AcousticsWall Panels and Baffles
The only location in the new Seaton that will need major acoustic consideration will be the main en-trance atrium and the studio bar. Bamboo flooring and acoustic ceiling tiles in the studio bar, as well as foam pin-up boards will prevent annoying reverberations. Also acoustic gypsum board will be used in both the studio bar and the entrance atrium. In addition, 90 degree wall intersections in the atrium are limited to avoid echoes and uncomfortable sound quality.

Raised Flooring
Flooring in the studio bar would include bamboo raised flooring which would hold electrical and other equiptment underneath. This way the equiptment would be hidden yet easily accessible. Di-mensions of the flooring would be 2ft by 2ft.

Courtyard Seats
Seats in the courtyard between Mechanics Hall and the new Seaton Hall would be able to be pulled out of the ground around trees. these seats would be able to be placed at different hights or back to flat on the ground. This allows students to literally “pull up a seat” when they have time between classes and enjoy the courtyard or mybe eat the food they got at the cafe just inside.

Mid CritKey Design Elements
This design proposal incorporates innova-tive ideas that push the limits of sustain-able technologies. The urge to create a connection to the campus community, an interaction between interior and exterior spaces, and visibly sustainable features create the driving form of the building.
To bring the campus community through our building, main circulation paths were ana-lyzed determining efficient ways to organize new paths within the core of the design. A new elevated green roof creates an enjoy-able alternative to the current heavily used paths of campus while separating the con-gestion of north-south and east-west traffic. This green roof continues through the core of our building showcasing the college with galleries, Weigel Library, a new shop, and incorporated lecture hall.

STACK VENTILATION CORES
A STUDIO BAR ORIENTED DIRECTLY EAST-WEST CREATES A DARK CORRIDOR FOR THE GREEN RAMP LOCATED BELOW
ANGLING THE BAR ALLOWS FOR NATURAL LIGHT TO ACCESS THE SPACE BELOW WHILE CREATING A VARIETY OF SPACES ALONG THE RAMP
The studio environment is designed to cre-ate a comfortable atmosphere through the use of natural lighting and stack ventila-tion. A two story bar is elevated above the circulation paths of campus to create a visual connection with campus while avoiding the congestion of university students within our studio space. A large glass facade is oriented to the north to collect the greatest amount of natural light. The opposing south facade is designed with spaced and offset perfo-rated metal to utilize the highest amount of diffuse light while eliminating direct south-ern light within the space. To avoid creating dark and enclosed spaces below, the studio bar is angled to allow more natural light and a variety of spaces to the areas below. This angle provides two triangular cores for stack ventilation and vertical circulation. These cores service the renovated area of Seaton, new extension of spaces to the north, as well as the studio bar above.
