1.0 PREFACE AND SUMMARY 1.1 Executive Summary Colorado State University’s commitment to excellence is demonstrated by setting the standard in teaching and research for public universities for the benefit of the Colorado citizens, the United States and the world. The Department of Biology is an interdisciplinary group of faculty with research interests that vary from studies of global ecological change, organismal interactions in infectious disease, stream ecology, muscle protein structure, chromosome function, molecular evolution, and plant biotechnology and synthetic biology. Biology is the unifying discipline in life science because it investigates all living things, from bacteria and viruses, to plants, animals and humans, and their relationship to their environments. Majors in the department study the structure and function of cells, organ systems and tissues in animals, plants, ecology and evolution. The number of majors in Biology programs has steadily increased during the previous decade to 1,457 as of Fall 2013, representing more than 7% of all the undergraduates at the university. With 31 faculty, the student:faculty ratio is approximately 50:1, whereas our peer average is less than 20:1. In addition, the Biology Department is the main contributor to the thousands of students in freshman biology lecture courses, and houses and coordinates all of the more than 100 laboratory sections. Among all graduates from CSU, nearly 60% take at least one Biology course during their time. In addition, Biology Department faculty are research active, with total research expenditures of $9.7M in FY 13 (a 250% increase over five years), 80% of the faculty are funded with an increase in number of awards from 33 in 2007-2008 to 62 in 2012-2013. Further, faculty are actively engaged in graduate training (90 graduate students), both within the Department and in several university-wide interdisciplinary programs. To maintain its record of teaching excellence and emphasis on experiential learning with expected increases in the student population, the Biology Department’s goal in the next five years is to increase faculty numbers to 40. Current space occupied by the Biology Department, in the east side of the Anatomy/Zoology Building and 2nd and 3rd floors of Yates Hall, is essentially at capacity for Biology’s teaching and research missions. Continued growth in student enrollment along with significant anticipated faculty growth will be severely impacted by an acute shortage of space, and strategic investment in a new Biology building will position the Department for continued educational and research leadership well into the 21st century. The Biology Department currently has laboratory capacity for no more than the 31 faculty and associated personnel that currently occupy the space. The existing laboratory space is generally inadequate for the Department’s needs, with laboratories in the Anatomy/Zoology Building that were designed in the early 1970’s for 1970’s biology. The majority of the labs are now outdated/deficient to meet the demands of changes in the discipline of biology, have limited floor space, inadequate power supply, and lack lab benches for research. Because Anatomy/Zoology labs were built for disciplines driven by fieldwork or observational data of dead specimens, they are also lacking in wet lab capacity and availability of autoclaves and cold rooms. Virtually all new faculty hired during the last 20 years have required significant remodeling of existing space into wet labs. Today, research in all disciplines of modern Biology programs depend upon wet labs and enhanced computing. Nearly every research group in Biology (from ecology to systematics to molecular genetics and cellular biology) uses modern genomic methodologies to implement up-to-date molecular genetic and genomic techniques. Similarly, teaching labs for students need to be updated to accommodate this growth, with additional needs for modern computer labs where the large amounts of data can be analyzed and understood. Future recruitment of top-notch faculty to meet the challenges of the Biology program will depend on providing modern research and teaching facilities.

In addition to increasing faculty and providing modern laboratory space, other key goals of the Biology Department are to provide undergraduates with increased academic support, to consolidate upper division Biology courses and laboratories into one building, and to provide facilities where every undergraduate biology major can engage in meaningful hands-on research experiences. Additional advising staff, an open computer lab, additional classrooms, and group study areas that are convenient to laboratories are required to achieve these goals. This Program Plan addresses the goals of the Biology Department by proposing a new state-of-the-art teaching and research building. The 5-story, 147,700 gsf project will construct teaching and research labs, research infrastructure in its basement, an auditorium and classrooms, computer labs, student study spaces, and an academic advising center, at an estimated cost of $81.9M. 1.2 Planning Process The planning committee comprises staff from Facilities Management working with the Chair of the Biology Department and the Biology Department’s Executive Committee, with additional input from the Dean of the College of Natural Sciences. The committee is charged with identifying and addressing the needs of the Biology Department arising from increased enrollment of students majoring in the program and general growth of the CSU student population. Further, Biology must plan for rapid development of the life sciences disciplines, especially in the modern “big data” era of genomics and computational biology. The current space occupied by the Biology Department is both too small and too obsolete to meet these challenges. The committee presented its recommendations to University Administration regarding immediate and long-term solutions for the ongoing enrollment challenge and the need to attract new researchers to the program. 2.0 PROGRAMMING PROCESS AND PROGRAM INFORMATION 2.1 Description of Biology Program The Department of Biology is a major contributor to Colorado State University’s focus on the interrelated areas of education, research, and outreach, specifically to engage students in a rich and positive educational environment that “prepares them for lifelong learning and achievement in a complex, global, and technologically sophisticated world (University Strategic Plan (Appendix A)." As the largest undergraduate program at Colorado State University, the Biology Department is committed to providing a broad-based curriculum that meets the land-grant heritage and responsibilities of a publicly-funded research University. The Biology Department fully embraces both excellence in teaching and has developed strong research programs that together "enable students to become vital participants in the scientific process while preparing to contribute actively and skillfully in a world where knowledge of science and technology has become the standard." As part of the College of Natural Sciences, we also strive for “rigorous professionalism, recognized excellence, and intellectual vitality (CNS 2020: Strategic Plan of the College of Natural Sciences, Appendix B).” The undergraduate program prepares graduates to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams to facilitate active participation in society. Our students proceed to graduate studies, prepare for professional careers in industry and government, and prepare for entrance into the health professions. The program instills inquisitiveness and assessment skills that foster a desire to continue life-long learning and sensitivity to social and economic issues, including diversity, professional standards, ethics and personal responsibility. The Biology graduate curriculum also supports a commitment to the research responsibilities of a land-grant university. We make major contributions to the University’s focus on the interrelated areas of education, research, and outreach, specifically to foster "advanced skills and a diverse and global perspective to be successful in life and work." Because of the overall strength of Colorado State in the


5

life sciences and high levels of engagement by faculty and graduate students in several highly regarded university-wide interdisciplinary graduate programs, our graduate courses are used by students throughout the university. These programs prepare our students to work both independently and cooperatively on teams toward the goal of becoming scientists that initiate, plan, conduct and publish results from original scientific research. We encourage the life-long learning, creativity, rigor, and precision that lead to high professional standards and interdisciplinary breadth. The Biology Department fulfills its academic mission by having faculty work together as a cohesive unit with a shared vision of teaching and research excellence, unified by the study of organismal biology. In addition to a philosophy of mutual respect, a positive esprit de corps is maintained among faculty members through a variety of activities including departmental seminars. Bridging across levels of inquiry, this emerging tradition deliberately filters down to graduate students to broaden their appreciation of research outside their areas of specialization. With interest in life sciences growing across the country, the number of Biological Science majors and Zoology majors in our department has been increasing on a yearly basis to its current enrollment of 1,457 majors combined in the Biological Sciences and Zoology programs. Because of this growth, the department is consistently far above our peer average for majors per tenure-track faculty member (we are at 50 students per faculty; our peer average is less than 20 students per faculty). While a 50:1 ratio of undergraduate majors to tenure-track faculty indicates the popularity of our program, the sheer number of students compromises our ability to deliver a quality educational experience to our students. It is thus critical that the Biology Department increases its faculty size to bring the student:faculty ratio more in line with numbers that will allow us to achieve our educational goals. We realize that these numbers, along with growing appreciation on campus of our research achievements, have been a key factor in the university’s investment in new faculty lines for the department. Despite hiring freezes for three years 2009-2011, the Biology Department was able to take advantage of two hires in the last year via university-wide programs. Associate Professor Melinda Smith was hired as a plant community ecologist working on grassland ecosystems, and Assistant Professor Graham Peers was brought in as a molecular biologist whose research in photosynthesis in single-celled algae dovetails nicely with the growing area of strength in biofuels at Colorado State University. Both of these scientists have already gained significant extramural funding to support their research. We must continue to grow to meet the needs of our majors and those we serve in related life science disciplines. Future growth, however, will be constrained by space limitations. Ongoing renovation and optimization of space use in existing buildings is one of the highest priorities for the department in the next few years. Beyond this goal, the acquisition of new space to house current and projected growth of the program is the Biology Department’s highest priority. 2.2 History, Role and Mission History: Colorado State University is a land-grant institution and a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University-Extensive that was founded as the Colorado Agricultural College in 1870, six years before the Colorado Territory gained statehood. It was one of 68 land-grant colleges established under the Morrill Act of 1862. The doors opened to a freshman class of 19 students in 1879. In 1935, the school became the Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, or Colorado A&M, and was renamed Colorado State University in 1957.

From these humble origins, a world-class institution grew. Today, Colorado State University is a comprehensive public research university with programs in science and technology, professions and the liberal arts. Colorado State is distinguished as one of two major public research universities in Colorado,


6

one of 106 land grant institutions nationwide, and one of only 151 schools designated as a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University-Extensive. Colorado State University’s eight colleges include: Agricultural Sciences, Health and Human Sciences, Business, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Warner College of Natural Resources, Natural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Mission: Inspired by its land-grant heritage, CSU is committed to excellence, setting the standard for public research universities in teaching, research, service and extension for the benefit of the citizens of Colorado, the United States and the world. 2.3 Program Needs and Trends After external reviews in 2007 and 2012, the Biology Department outlined objectives to enhance their success as a unit of academic excellence including opportunities for undergraduate students to gain experience in research in laboratories, for graduate students to develop expertise and research ability in at least one sub-area of the life sciences, and faculty with rigorous nationally and internationally recognized research programs. Given the demographics of the CSU student body and the rapid pace of discovery in the life sciences, the continued success of the Biology Department depends critically on the enhanced capabilities that a new Biology Building would provide. The design will be flexible, will support modern life science education and research, and will enhance opportunities for interactions among faculty, researchers, graduate students and undergraduates. The Biology Building is designed to foster the collaborative and interdisciplinary science that is the future of the modern biological sciences. Key Features Identified by the Department:

• Energy neutral building: sustainable building designed to at least a LEED Gold standard with budget allocations for purchasing wind turbines at a location to be determined to offset the energy use of the building

• Natural light: windows and glass to maximize day lighting Education Space:

• Teaching labs that include combined wet lab and bioinformatics capabilities for undergraduate education

• Lecture Hall that holds at least 100 students • Undergraduate Study/conference areas on all floors • Departmental office space designed around four essential activities; administration, business

office, academic support center for advising students, and information technology • Office space for 100 graduate students, and the approximately 60 Post-doctoral researchers and

Research Associates who carry out Biology’s research enterprise. • Recitation rooms for GTA office hours • Meeting Rooms for Undergraduate Clubs (Biology and Zoology)

Research Space:

• Open laboratory design where three or four research groups share equipment rooms, cold rooms, fume hoods and have contiguous lab benches. Designed to accommodate 40 faculty, the design also allows for flexibility in bench space assignment as individual programs increase and decrease in size.

• Combination laboratory and office modules, rather than separate office space for faculty, to maximize integration of research and teaching, especially the informal training for


7

undergraduates that comes from working in laboratories. Every floor must have shared dish-washing and autoclave facilities with adequate air handling to remove excess heat and moisture

• HVAC and power must meet 21st century standards for research laboratories • Increase space for plant and animal (fish and invertebrates) growth rooms, requiring adequate

heating/cooling, water and power (in the basement). • Roof should be capable of future addition of greenhouse space

Current Space Status The Biology Department is currently housed in the east wing of the Anatomy/Zoology Building, with teaching laboratories and three 50-seat classrooms in Yates Hall. Current department gross square footage is as follows:

Type Current GSF Classroom 3,230 Teaching Lab 15,158 Student Study 1,094 Office/conference 13,570 Research Lab 32,456 Animal Quarters 313

After construction of the Biology Building the existing space in Yates Hall will be maintained for freshman biology courses. Yates Hall and A/Z teaching laboratories are currently at capacity, with every available seat in both first-year and upper-division laboratory sections filled. This has been true especially for upper division offerings in the last three years, as enrollment growth of Biology majors has bubbled up to 300 and 400-level courses. Sections consistently fill, both in additional sections of existing courses and in newly added courses. To make room for anticipated growth in 1st year LIFE and BZ courses, we envision that upper division labs will be relocated from Yates Hall to the new Biology Building. This includes planned curriculum development in modern bioinformatics and computational biology. A modern Biology Building must include wet teaching labs for training in molecular techniques, along with computer labs to teach students how to analyze and interpret the vast amounts of data generated by modern genomic methods. Not all facilities in the A/Z Building will be vacated. For instance, renovated Herbarium (a unique museum-quality collection of plant specimens dating to the early days of European settlement in Colorado) and several other growth facilities in the basement will remain in A/Z. The Biology Department anticipates vacating the 3rd and 4th floors of the east wing, which will be available to other departments. The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences has expressed interest in that space, as it is directly connected to their space in the west wing of the A/Z Building. 2.4 Relation to Academic or Institutional Strategic Plans Colorado State University is dedicated to providing a distinctive educational experience for students and faculty. The University’s Stategic Plan, “Strategic Directions: Colorado State University Strategic Plan 2006-2015” is organized around five broad objectives. Consistent with the University’s mission statement, sections are devoted to teaching and learning, research and discovery, and service and outreach. The fourth section addresses resources critical to supporting CSU’s mission and the final section outlines diversity goals. The Biology Building will support Strategic Plan as follows: Teaching and Learning: Goal 1 Grow the number of faculty and staff and maintain those numbers sufficient to support the education, outreach and research mission of the University


8

Teaching and Learning: Goal 3 The university will gradually increase the number of full-time undergraduates toward the current target of 35,000 at a rate that is consistent with institutional policy objectives, available resources, and state needs. Teaching and Learning: Goal 5 Students will have access to first-rate advising resources in an environment of enriching curricula and enhanced learning opportunities that promote retention, persistence, and timely graduation Teaching and Learning: Goal 6 The University will create opportunities for active and experiential learning in every major and in a broad range of co-curricular activities Research and Discovery: Goal 17 The quality of our research program is driven by the talent of our research faculty and staff, whom we are committed to improve in keeping with standards set forth by organizations such as the American Association of Universities (AAU). To this end, it is critical to grow the base numbers of high-quality research faculty (tenure and non-tenure track), graduate research assistants, research associates, and post-doctoral fellows commensurate with higher levels of external funding, goals for teaching excellence, and a global perspective in our educational programs. Undergraduate research opportunities need to increase and be supported at the departmental, college, and university levels Research and Discovery: Goal 18 Construct and equip new laboratories and other research and library facilities and services to serve the needs of a growing research institution. 2.5 Relation to Other Programs or Agencies The Biology Department is integrally involved in service and outreach on the national and international stage, and faculty in biology have been recognized for their achievements.

Examining a number of metrics shows that the Biology Department ranks within the top 20% in most measures except those that do not include the number of faculty in the denominator. To use a boxing analogy, the Biology Department has been punching well above its weight given that faculty numbers have been only in the 25-30 range in the recent past.

Working Groups and Advisory Panels The faculty has also been involved in numerous different working groups and advisory panels dealing with a diversity of issues ranging from the management of prairie dogs and grasslands, the restoration of rivers and water resources, to advising the director of the Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. At the international level, Dr. Diana Wall is notable for serving as an at-large member of UNESCO and as Chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee, Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative. Minority Outreach With regard to minority outreach, Drs. Lisa Angeloni, Greg Florant and Shane Kanatous stand out for their roles both within the University at the national level. Drs. Angeloni and Kanatous are Faculty Board members for SACNAS on campus, Dr. Angeloni also serves with the University Multicultural Staff and Faculty Network. Dr. Florant’s outreach includes being a liaison for the Ford Foundation program to recruit minority faculty to the Rocky Mountain area, involvement with various National Institute for Health minority outreach programs, and as faculty advisor for the Native American Women in Science Scholarship program. Public Lectures and K-12 Outreach Finally, the faculty has given public lectures to a diversity of groups on topics ranging from genetically modified organisms, creationism and evolution, arctic biology, and conservation. Further, a small but regular number of faculty visit locals schools to provide direct outreach to students in K- 12 classrooms. 2.6 Existing Programmatic / Operational Deficiencies Faculty Growth Biology is facing an acute shortage of space based on current and future faculty needs. The number of Biology majors has increased nearly 40% since 2007, currently representing more than 7% of all the undergraduates at Colorado State University. There are 31 faculty in Biology as of Fall 2013, yielding approximately 50 majors per faculty member. Our peer average is less than 20 to 1. In addition, CSU’s overall curriculum includes a large number of freshman biology lecture courses and laboratory sections. More than 50% of CSU graduating students have taken at least one biology course. In order to maintain its record of teaching excellence and emphasis on experiential learning, the Biology Department’s goal in the next five years is to increase faculty numbers to 40. Fall Enrollment by Level (Primary Majors Only) 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Biology (total) 1,143 1,155 1,379 1,411 1,470

Research Laboratories In the past 8-10 years, the Biology Department established three research areas in which to focus, in order to develop interdisciplinary teams of researchers that would be able to compete for research funding though the synergy that develops from collaboration and complementarity. Broadly defined, these include: Organismal/Integrative Biology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. By multiple metrics, grants activity and external grant support has increased, with expenditures increasing two-fold from 2007-20012. 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13

The Biology Department currently has laboratory capacity for no more than the 31 faculty and associated personnel that currently occupy the space. The existing laboratory space is generally inadequate for the Department’s needs, with laboratories in the Anatomy/Zoology Building that were designed in the early 1970’s for 1970’s biology. The majority of the labs are now outdated/deficient to meet the demands of changes in the discipline of biology, have limited floor space, inadequate power supply, and lack lab benches for research. Because Anatomy/Zoology labs were built for disciplines driven by fieldwork or observational data of dead specimens, they are also lacking in wet lab capacity and availability of autoclaves and cold rooms. Virtually all new faculty hired during the last 20 years have required significant remodeling of existing space into wet labs. Today, research in all disciplines of modern Biology programs depend upon wet labs and enhanced computing. Nearly every research group in Biology (from ecology to systematics to molecular genetics and cellular biology) uses modern genomic methodologies to implement up-to-date molecular genetic and genomic techniques. Similarly, teaching labs for students need to be updated to accommodate this growth, with additional needs for modern computer labs where the large amounts of data can be analyzed and understood. Future recruitment of top-notch faculty to meet the challenges of the Biology program will depend on providing modern research and teaching facilities. Specific deficiencies of the existing AZ Building include: The absence of windows and natural light, which is a morale problem; under-powered, under-plumbed laboratories with inadequate air exchange in areas with high heat output from autoclaves and freezers; inadequate office space for graduate students, inadequate bio-safety features, too few women’s restrooms, fixed lab space lacks flexibility for growth and retraction of individual programs, little space for shared equipment and insufficient space for plant growth chambers. Student advising and engagement In addition to increasing faculty and providing laboratory space, other key goals of the department are to provide students with increased academic support and to engage at least 50% of their undergraduates in actual research. Additional advising staff, a designated computer lab and study areas that are convenient to classes and labs are required in order to achieve these goals. Taken together, Biology’s deficits in Faculty growth, Research Labs and Student Advising/engagement are acute. Strategic investment in a new Biology building will position the Department for continued leadership well into the 21st century.

2.7 Program Alternatives

• Renovation and addition to the AZ building: Upgrade of the laboratory space would be possible, but site constraints would limit the size of an addition. The space limitations would not provide the necessary square footage for the program needs.

• Leasable laboratory space is not available.

• Combined Biology/Chemistry Building: If state funding for a new Chemistry Building is realized in

the same timeframe as the University funding of the Biology building, it is possible that the projects will be combined into linked buildings. This will provide the best value for both projects, allowing shared meeting, study, classroom and computer lab facilities for students, and greater collaboration among researchers in both disciplines.

2.8 Benefits of Project The new Biology building will provide much-needed research lab and academic teaching space, to support essential teaching and research activities and to enhance the reputation of the Department and the University. Further, the construction of the new building will negate the necessity of disrupting current projects in order to upgrade the existing facilities. Rather, these projects can continue uninterrupted until the new building is ready for use. With additional and more modernized space, the Biology Department can continue to grow in the number of departmental faculty and students, and breadth of study. This growth will contribute to the University’s Strategic Plan to attract world-class research talent, faculty, and students. The department was ranked fifth in the nation in 2007 and new facilities will help maintain our national leadership in biology. The Biology department biologists are leading researchers in disciplines that are evolving at extraordinary speeds. Indeed, for many, the experimental tools and questions they are asking were not possible as little as 15 years ago. The best example of this revolution has been the application of genomic technology across every field of modern biology, from landscape ecology to molecular development. The impact of these changes has rendered many labs in the current AZ building non-functional. They lack the necessary infrastructure to support modern methods (too little power, no sinks, no bench tops, etc.). Thus, a major benefit of the new building will be that every lab is designed to support all aspects of the modern research enterprise. 3.0 FACILITY NEEDS 3.1 Total Space Requirements A new facility to support the Department of Biology must accommodate 40 faculty members, with space for an additional 250 people (post-docs, graduate students, research associates, etc). Departmental offices should be provided for a staff of 10 along with 5 academic support coordinators. Student spaces will include a large (100 seat) auditorium and 4 additional general assignment classrooms that each seat 50, 10 teaching laboratories, a general use computer lab, and student study/meeting space on each floor. The basement should have at least 10,000 gsf available for research facilities such as growth chambers, animal holding rooms (including aquaria) and walk in freezers.


13

A planning module of approximately eleven feet by eleven feet may be utilized as a basic unit for the sizing of the building. This unit equates to the size of a 120 square foot office and if doubled, becomes a standard 11’ x 22’ laboratory bay. 22 feet by up to 33 feet is also an appropriate size for a structural bay in the spacing of columns. On the basis of this module a quantitative space analysis was developed for each category of space required in the building. Office Space Faculty has been assigned 120 square feet (sf) of private office. Post docs and technicians have been assigned half of this (60sf) for occupancy in a semi-private office and graduate student researchers 40 net square feet or approximately 60 sf each in an open office space. A department office would house administrative and business offices plus common use conference, mail, copy, IT and workroom spaces. Common Building Amenities Lobby space will serve not only an entry function, but, display, meeting and pre-function place for an associated lecture hall. A small café should be located on the main floor. Group study rooms and lounges should be located on each floor for conferences, study and collaboration. Laboratory Space Although the actual size of laboratories may vary based on the size of research teams and associated projects, two lab bays, plus two support alcoves have been assigned in the quantitative analysis, to each lab for an average. It is expected that the lab bays will be open to adjacent labs for expansion and contraction as needed. Genomics wet lab space and computational labs have also been included. Shared Instrument Rooms and Growth Facilities Autoclave, glass washing, controlled temperature and equipment rooms should be provided on each lab floor for shared use. Plant, fish and invertebrate growth facilities may be grouped together in the basement. Building Support Areas As is typical for all buildings of this size, space must be designated for restrooms, custodial closets, shipping, receiving, stairs, elevators, corridors, mechanical systems, electrical and utility rooms. It is anticipated that the net assignable area of the building will be approximately 70% of the gross building, which includes these building support areas. Site planning should accommodate future expansion of the building for more office and lab space, as well as such amenities as a workshop, service elevator, showers and gas bottle storage. 3.2 Conceptual Floor Plans Please view Conceptual Floor Plans in Appendix A. 3.3 Unique or Special Features The new Biology building will promote collaboration between faculty, researchers and students. A feature staircase will run the full height of the building to allow natural light to labs and offices that are adjacent to it and the public spaces on the main level. The lobby will serve as a display area and informal meeting space. Collaboration and group study rooms located near elevators and stairs on the


14

upper floors will facilitate communication. The laboratory space will foster vertical integration of undergraduate students, graduate students, postgraduates and faculty involving them in research, hands on discovery and mentoring by faculty. Sustainability High Performance Building Senate Bill 07-051 directs that state buildings undergoing substantial renovation or new construction conform to the High Performance Certification Program. The Office of the State Architect has stated that USGBC LEED-NC Gold is the targeted standard of this program, or at a minimum, the highest obtainable LEED standard. The most current LEED publication at the time of design will be used. The inclusion of high performance standards is an integral part of the project, beginning at the program plan stage. In addition, the City of Fort Collins provides technical support and should be included to provide input to the design team. The City provides funding for High Performance Buildings through its Integrated Design Assistance Program (IDAP). This program offers two approaches designed to accommodate varied projects.

*The Whole Building Approach is for projects with a normal schedule. This program provides funds for design work to reduce energy use, and a performance incentive for long-term energy savings. *The Prescriptive approach can be used for a fast track schedule. Some incentives are available, but they are not as extensive as for the Whole Building approach.

City staff must be involved in the design effort from the start in order to qualify for these any of these incentives.

Sustainable design allows humanity’s present generation to meet their needs without compromising future generation’s ability to meet their needs. The design, construction and operation of buildings can have a significant effect on improving the health and comfort of building occupants, reduce operating costs and reduce negative impacts on the environment. The new Biology Building will meet a LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council’s criteria by incorporating strategies in five categories of sustainable design: Site, Water, Energy, Materials and Indoor Environmental Quality. Site: The sites under consideration are in close proximity to the existing Anatomy Zoology Building to reduce the impact of transportation to and from the site. Bicycle racks will be provided to accommodate bicycle commuting. Landscape materials will reduce or eliminate the use of potable water for irrigation. Storm water quantity reduction and quality leaving the site will be improved. The use of light reflective surfaces on the roof and paved areas with shading by trees will reduce thermal heat islands. Options will be explored to reduce the light pollution leaving the site, protecting the night sky. Water: Options will be considered to reduce the use of water by fixtures and processes throughout the building. Energy: The mechanical systems will be design to the latest best practices and standards of Colorado State University campus, as well as LEED, EPA Labs 21 and ASHRAE criteria. Systems will be analyzed during design for their costs, benefits and paybacks and may include:

• Variable air volume fume hoods • High performance low flow fume hoods • Energy recovery systems • Advanced control systems • Evaporative cooling • Direct digital control systems


15

Energy neutral building: Budget allocations shall be established for purchasing wind turbines at a location to be determined to offset the energy use of the building. Materials: Material selection will favor items having recycled content, that are harvested locally and/or made of rapidly renewable sources. Preference will also be given to indoor materials that have zero or low emissions into the air to preserve indoor air quality. Contractors will be required to recycle waste materials from the construction process. The finished building will accommodate the recycling of glass, cardboard, metal and plastic. Indoor Environmental Quality: The new facility will be designed for the health and productivity of the building occupants. Laboratories and offices will be supplied with natural daylight. Options will be considered to optimize thermal comfort controls for the occupants, to monitor ventilation and carbon dioxide. Airflow and computational fluid dynamic modeling may be tools that are used to test the performance of design alternatives in meeting safety and comfort goals. Contractors will follow guidelines for improving indoor air quality during and after construction. 3.4 Health, Life Safety, and Code Issues The building will be designed to comply with the latest editions of the codes adopted by the State of Colorado or Colorado State University.

17

This project shall also comply, as applicable, with the latest edition at the time of design of the following:

• Colorado State University Aesthetic Guidelines • The Colorado State University Main Campus Master Plan • “Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories”, CDC-NIH • “Primary Containment for Biohazards: Selection, Installation and Use of Biological • Safety Cabinets” CDC-NIH • “Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules”, NIH • Colorado State University Biosafety Handbook • All pertinent OSHA regulations including MSDS sheets

The Colorado State University Department of Facilities Management determines the appropriateness of the proposed designs and conformance with standards and codes. The University is a quasi-independent state entity that is not under the jurisdiction of outside code enforcement agencies. The Department of Environmental Health and Safety reviews projects for items related to life safety, use, storage and handling of hazardous materials and other issues related to the safety of building occupants. During the project design phase, the architects and engineers shall prepare a code analysis that compares the requirements of the above codes. Whenever regulations conflict, the more stringent requirement shall be followed. The University will determine which regulation shall apply when a conflict requires interpretation. Preliminary Building Code Analysis The following analysis is based on program plan information without a building design and with International Building Code requirements at the time of its writing. The Design Team selected to complete a design for the facility shall complete a code analysis referring to sections and paragraph numbers of the latest applicable codes used and not refer to this report. The Design Team shall investigate and implement creative solutions to meet code requirements, while enhancing safety and reducing construction cost. The Building

Complete assessments of utility interconnections and interactions should not be made until detailed documentation is reviewed. The


20

Design Team shall post the new nationwide 811 utilities locate number in the construction documents, for verification of locations prior to construction. Water – Domestic water is available via an 8” cold water main in Pitkin Street. The new building will require a 3” cold-water service that will be routed from the main into a first floor mechanical space where the backflow preventers can be located. Sanitary Sewer – There is an existing 8” sanitary sewer serving the Stock Pavilion that can be used for this new building. The 8” sanitary sewer (which should be preserved) runs west from the Stock Pavilion to a manhole where the pipe increases to a 12” then runs south. These pipes are anticipated to be large enough for this new building. Storm water – Arthur Ditch is adjacent to this new building, but cannot be used for storm water removal. The old flume and two large valves at the ditch structure are no longer required. It is possible to relocate the ditch, if required, however, it can only be disturbed in the winter, outside the running season. Any construction adjacent to the ditch must have appropriate water protection. Irrigation – There are 3” irrigation pipes to the north that can be used to irrigate the landscape around this new building. Natural Gas – Natural gas is available at the site. If the layout of the new building does not conflict with the existing gas meter vault, it is possible this gas meter can be re-used for the gas service to the new building. The gas load is anticipated to be small and only serve laboratory gas outlets. Electricity –The electrical service is 480volts from the microbiology building transformer. A new electrical service will be required. A new vault and sectional switch will be provided to relocate the current 13.2kv line to the north of the construction site. The 13.2 will be in a duct bank and comply with the CSU standards. A new service entrance transformer will be provided for the new building. District Heating – District heating is available from nearby steam tunnels. Steam and condensate will be brought to the building to provide heating and process steam for sterilizers. The piping will be direct bury pre-insulated piping. District Cooling – District cooling is available from nearby direct bury chiller water mains. New branch pipes will be routed into the building via direct bury HDPE piping and routed to air handling unit cooling coils. 3.6 Site Requirements Please view the site plan in Appendix B. Building Footprint and Location The new building development is proposed to be located on an existing parking lot at the SE corner of Main Campus. The Campus Masterplan identifies this area as a new Science Mall, which will accommodate several new science buildings: a Chemistry Building, an addition to Anatomy Zoology, a Life and Biomedical Sciences Building and the Biology Building. If funding should align, it is possible that the Chemistry and Biology projects would be combined into a contiguous BioChemistry Building. This approach would provide improved research collaboration between the departments. It would also increase construction efficiency, providing the most scope for the available funding. The current Stock Pavilion would be deconstructed and relocated off of main campus in this scenario. If funding does not align there may still be a connection to the Chemistry Building via a bridge.


21

The building should be oriented to best accommodate day lighting and at the same time to minimize the relocation of utilities. Pedestrian and Bicycle Connections Pedestrian and bicycle routes would be aligned to invite walking and biking to the facility and walking through the site. Pedestrian access would be from Pitkin Street to the north side of this proposed building. Pedestrian ways would be maintained on all sides of the new facility. Vehicular Access and Parking Vehicular access to the site would occur to the east with a small parking lot off Pitkin Street for service and emergency access. Most of the parking would be accommodated in the parking garage at Center Avenue and Lake Street. The existing pedestrian ways along the south and west should be large enough to allow service vehicles around the entire building. 3.7. Flood mitigation The first Master Drainage Plan for CSU was completed by Ayres Associates in June 1996. On July 28, of the following year, Fort Collins experienced a significant storm event that caused approximately $150 million in damages to campus facilities. Very few of the master planned facilities were constructed prior to the 1997 flood. A draft Master Plan Update was completed in January 2001 with the purpose of identifying the best possible drainage improvement alternatives. The current Master Plan Update was completed by Ayres Associates in April 2008 and includes the as-built analysis of the Phase I and II improvements that were constructed. The existing floodplain on the CSU campus is the result of the following:

• Off-site flows entering the CSU campus from the City of Fort Collins Canal Importation Basin. These flows enter campus from the west side of Shields with a particular concentration at the Shields and Elizabeth Street intersection.

• CSU campus encompasses approximately 375 acres of mixed use development. Much of the campus is developed and highly impervious (which generates a lot of runoff) with the exception of the open space and recreation fields.

• Existing storm drainage system is small and complex, and provides very little conveyance capacity during large storm events, so most of the storm flows travel via overland or surface flow.

The current Master Drainage Plan document is a summary of the work that has been done, and also provides a guide for additional work that still needs to be done. This Master Plan also serves as a warning as to the complexity and sensitivity of CSU’s storm drainage system. No additional work of any kind should be done without looking at the impacts to the storm drainage conveyance and flooding elevations. Drainage and grading plans shall be developed from a campus wide perspective and as deemed necessary employ consultation from a flood mitigation engineer.


22

3.8 Landscaping Existing Site Features Topography The existing grades are relatively flat and can easily be manipulated to accommodate surface drainage around the building. The water table is high and flood ways intrude on these sites. Please view the Flood Plain map in the Appendix E. Surface & Subsurface Drainage Site drainage would be comprised of surface and subsurface drainage systems. Lawn and plaza areas would sheet drain into swales. These swales would flow into small detention and filtration basins. The Arthur Ditch currently runs though the site from the north to the south. Relocation, perhaps to the east may be desirable. Outdoor Areas, Open Spaces and Landscaping Siting and orientation of the Biology Building can provide an opportunity to reinforce the College of Natural Sciences research community with outside meeting space as the mall concept is developed. A public courtyard bordered on two sides by trees will provide a pleasant and convenient stopping place for both faculty and students passing between buildings. The new building will be located at the north side of the mall. Pitkin Street is proposed to be closed and a landscaped pedestrian way established north of the new building site. The landscape character of the site will convey a strong campus image with plantings, hardscape and seating along pedestrian spines and inside the courtyard to the south of the facility. Potential gathering areas, public art and amenities could be located in these open space areas. 3. 9 Equipment Requirements The equipment allowance provides for laboratory furnishings as well as some analytical equipment planned for the building. The furniture allowance is for standard office, classroom, conference, and laboratory furniture. The communications budget is for telephone and data infrastructure along with audiovisual needs. Please see the cost estimate in the Appendix D. 3.10 Technology Requirements The Biology Building will require the appropriate systems infrastructure to support “state of the art” biology equipment including: a low vibration structure, communications and computer data cabling, clean electrical power, process cooling and narrow range temperature controls. 3. 11 Acquisition of Real Property

This project does not require real property acquisition.


23

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 4.1 Architecture Building Design The architecture of the proposed facility is expected to follow the Colorado State University Aesthetic Guidelines with a masonry exterior with punched window openings in lab areas and high performance glass curtain wall surfaces for public spaces. The new Biology Building is anticipated to be five stories with a basement, and to be structurally capable of supporting greenhouses on the rooftop in the future. Massing of the building shall be stepped to reduce scale, preserve neighbor views, and frame adjacent exterior open spaces. The main public entrances shall be easily identified from site approach ways. The facility design will be based on a new model of laboratory design – one that creates environments that are responsive to present needs, and capable of accommodating future demands. The building will foster interaction, team-based research and cross-disciplinary research, for flexibility to accommodate changes in technology and types of research. It will be designed for sustainability, energy efficiency and the desire for natural light in the laboratory and office environment. Collaborative Environments Research science is a social activity that functions best with an architecture that supports both structured and informal interaction. It is critical in the design to establish places where people can congregate and exchange ideas. The seminar room, meeting and conference rooms formally accommodate this need, while lounges, group study and collaboration rooms placed strategically near circulation intersections, elevators and stairs, provide opportunities to mingle with those both within and outside one’s own lab group. These rooms will be equipped with white boards, display areas, wifi, plasma/lcd screens or projectors, seating, movable tables and chairs for impromptu discussions. The facility will be wired with state of the art telecommunications for multi media communications, as well as computer and voice connectivity to foster collaboration. Shared equipment will economize on both space and costs, while also providing further opportunities for informal contact and interaction between different research teams. Collaborative research can be supported by designing offices and write up spaces in places where people can work in teams and allow research team members to operate near each other. Flexible systems casework and furnishings will allow research teams to alter their spaces according to changing needs. Standard Lab Module A standard lab module of 11’ wide by 22’ deep will afford the building with a flexible unit sized for a variety of use, including a standard wet lab bench on each side of a center aisle. Common utilities and casework configurations can be supplied to each module with perhaps two to six modules making up an open lab. Research projects can expand and contract as needed into occupying more or less modules. Lab modules can even be converted to office use if needed. Associated with each lab module would be an 11’ x 11’ alcove which could be used for equipment, instrumentation, refrigerators, fume hoods, bio-safety cabinets, write-up space or any other special use associated with the adjacent lab.


24

Shared Laboratory Support Areas The sharing of specialized laboratory equipment space will create further opportunities for people to meet each other and exchange information. Recognizing this, instrument and equipment rooms may function as cross-corridors, saving space and money, as well as encouraging researchers to share equipment. Common support spaces, such as cold rooms, glassware storage, and chemical storage may be situated in a central location in the building, and alcoves can be created for ice machines and de-ionized water. Such centrally planned shared support spaces will help achieve a more social building as well as a more affordable design. Ceiling Height A standard 9’-6” minimum ceiling height is recommended for most labs. This allows for enough space for the use of indirect light fixtures. Some of the lab environments may need ceilings to be higher to accommodate special equipment. Lab Doors The standard lab door width should be 42” minimum. Large equipment such as fume hoods would have to be dismantled if the door were any less than 38” wide. Doors may be double leaf such as 36” plus 24”. Glazing in the doors should be considered for most labs that do not have light sensitivity issues. Benches & Tables Aisles between the lab benches should measure at least 5’ to permit a person to pass behind another who is working. A 5’ aisle also conforms to the ADA guidelines. Tables may be preferable to standard base cabinets when a high level of flexibility is desired.

Lab Room Finishes and Construction

Floors will have a non-porous finish that may include exposed concrete, seamless vinyl with cove base or resinous epoxy. Walls will be painted and ceilings may be unfinished or have lay-in acoustical tile. In certain support laboratories, other finishes different than those in the standard lab will be necessary. Most non-rated walls may be gypsum wall board; rated walls may be concrete masonry units.

Laboratory casework

The casework will be wood or metal base cabinets, wall cabinets and reagent shelves. Tops and sinks will be epoxy resin. Casework should be adaptable and flexible to accommodate changing needs within the laboratory. Adjustable shelves and a variety of cabinet types can be placed above benches.

Utilities

Electricity, data, laboratory gases, vacuum and DI water can be serviced to the labs via utility chases, between benches or overhead service carriers with easy connect/disconnects. Lab Offices The faculty offices have been programmed as 120 asf private spaces, with the research workspaces for post-docs (60 asf) and / undergraduate students (60 asf) as fractions of this open space. The faculty offices will be co-located with the laboratory space.

Noise considerations - Recommended noise criteria for the laboratories is 40-45 NC.


25

4.2 Systems Structural System Allowable soil bearing pressures will be determined by a soil testing laboratory following an analysis of test borings taken at the site.

Considerations will be made to minimize vibration transmission through the structural system. In anticipation of accommodating nanotechnology and electron microscopes, special considerations will be made for those areas requiring enhanced vibration control. Control of structure-borne vibration can be enhanced by locating highly sensitive equipment on a grade slab, and isolating the portion of the slab directly below the equipment from the rest of the structure.

The building structural system will be poured-in-place concrete, possibly utilizing a one-way concrete pan joist system, with a minimum live load of 125 psf and spans of 22 feet by 22 to 33 feet. It is recommended, if feasible, that joists span the short direction and beams span the long direction with slab reinforcement continuous over beams for stiffness efficiency. A vibration consultant is recommended for final building engineering.

It is desirable that the roof be capable of supporting greenhouse structures in the future, if budget allows.

Plumbing System Water- Domestic cold water service will be provided from the campus utilities. The service will enter the building and be provided with dual backflow preventers per CSU standards. From there it will be distributed through a potable water system for restrooms and common areas and a non potable water system for the laboratories. Hot water will be generated from steam heat exchangers and will be distributed to the building through the utility shafts and will be re-circulated by means of pumps. Similar to the cold water, a potable and non potable system will be required. Deionized water- may be point of use deionizers located as necessary per the owners direction or recirculated central systems with local polishers. Although the central system is favored by the user, both systems should be evaluated for their initial cost and ongoing maintenance. Waste and Vent- Lab waste and vent will be collected in a cast iron piping system and combined with the domestic waste and vent system. If there are specific locations where chemicals may be introduced into the lab waste system, point of use dilution basins will be added under the sink to protect the cast iron piping. Domestic waste and vent will be collected in cast iron piping and routed to the sanitary sewer. A special waste and vent will be provided for hazardous storage areas. This will be in acid resistant piping and the waste will be stored in a containment vessel.

Piped services- in the laboratories and lab support rooms will include laboratory compressed air, lab vacuum, natural gas, cold/hot and de-ionized water. Some equipment may also require house steam or chilled water. Special rooms and equipment will also require gases, such as CO2 that may be manifolded from cylinders located near exits or in closets accessible from the corridors. Most laboratory sinks will have an eye-wash, with most safety shower stations provided with thermostatic mixing valves and located in the corridors outside the laboratories.

Lab Air- A duplex air compressor will be provided and air will be distributed to the labs via the utility shafts. The air compressor skid will have the capability to expand in the future.

Vacuum- A duplex vacuum pump and receiver will provide the required vacuum needs. The vacuum pump skid will have the capability to expand in the future.


26

Natural Gas- Natural gas will be distributed through utility shafts, and then to laboratories.

Piping System Heating hot water- supply and return will be distributed from the steam converters to the terminal air boxes, unit heaters and fan coil units on the floors via the utility shafts using pumps.

Remote Radiator- Remote radiators on the penthouse roof with pumps and converters in the mechanical room will provide the cooling requirements for the emergency generators.

Chilled water- will be provided from the campus plant system which will be distributed to air handling units through pumps and to support spaces for equipment cooling as needed through utility shafts.

Steam- Campus boiler plant serving this building will provide required steam for heating and sterilizer loads. Steam converters will be used to provide clean steam where required for humidification and special processing.

HVAC System

Utilization – While the research laboratories and lab support will occasionally be occupied 24 hours per day, the normal expectations are for them to be occupied twelve hours per day, six days per week.

Environment – Temperature ranges in research laboratories and lab support will be from 68° to 72° F ± 2° with relative humidity at 30 to 35%.

Room air pressures for the laboratory and lab support rooms should be negative to surrounding spaces in most instances. Some spaces, such as tissue culture rooms will require positive room air pressures. Laboratories should have once through air at a minimum of six room-air changes per hour. Supply Air – Air handling units will provide the building with conditioned air. Distribution will be by medium or high velocity ductwork to the floors and then distributed to the spaces by variable air volume boxes with reheat coils. Supply air will be delivered to the spaces along the perimeter with linear slot diffusers and louver type diffusers in the interior spaces.

Exhaust Air – The majority of the exhaust will be via the lab hoods which are ducted to a manifold in the penthouse. The exhaust manifold may be provided with heat recovery coil and pre-filter and fans with variable speed drives. General exhaust will also be ducted to the manifold. All exhaust risers will be in the utility shafts. Individual exhaust risers from the emergency generator room, electrical room and mechanical room will also be in the utility shafts. Care shall be taken to avoid re-entrainment of exhaust to supply air intakes.

Return Air – Return air will be only from the office, conference and seminar room portions of the building. Low velocity ductwork will be used. The return fan for the associated air handling unit will use a variable speed drive.

Special Exhaust – Individual exhaust fans will be provided for any hood or area requiring special exhaust requirements.

Air Handling Units – The lab units will be equipped with pre-heat coils, pre-filter, cooling coil, fan section, humidifier and final filters. The office unit will be equipped with an air blender, pre-filter, cooling coil, fan section, humidifier and final filter. All will have variable speed drives.

Controls – This facility will utilize an integrated control system which will be tied to the campus-wide building automation system.


27

Electrical Systems Primary power will be fed from the Pitkin substation via a new vault and Trayer sectional switch. A new pad mounted oil filled 13.2kv-480volt transformer will provide for service to the building. 480volt power will be distributed throughout the building via vertical bus ducts. 480-120/208 step down transformers will be located on the floors they serve and 120/208 panels will be located near the lab areas they serve. Horizontal bus ducts will be utilized to distribute 120/208volts service to the lab panels. 480/277V panels will be utilized for lighting. Penthouse mechanical equipment will utilize a separate 480V vertical bus duct riser and local 480volt distribution panel. The mechanical distribution will be separated from the lab equipment loads to reduce noise on the electrical lines serving lab spaces. Local step down transformer and panel will be provided in the Penthouse for 120/208volt loads. All interior transformers will be the dry type. Emergency power will be provided from a new local generator. The generator will serve optional emergency lab loads and required egress lighting and signal systems. Load requirements will be provided by the Pitkin Station campus plant (which is to be upgraded by a separate controlled maintenance improvement project). Parallel switchgear will supply power to a vertical bus duct to feed emergency lab loads and egress lighting as well as signal systems. Fire alarm will be multiplex point addressable. Notifier addressable system with network card installed. Office areas will be fed with a conventional conduit and wire riser system. Laboratory areas will utilize the horizontal plug-in bus duct for lab panels, provided and located to give maximum flexibility for research area expansion within the lab plan. Electrical service to the laboratories and lab support rooms will include 110V service at the lab benches via a service raceway. 208V service will be located at the dedicated equipment areas with some outlets on emergency power for selected equipment. Lighting in lab spaces will include overhead ambient lighting with task lighting at the benches for a total of 100 foot candles at bench height. Office spaces will be provided with dual level switching. Data ports will be available at the lab benches via the electrical service raceway. Telecommunications Systems The telecommunications infrastructure transports the massive volume of voice, text, image, and video data in real time and at an affordable cost, and supports communications and computing technologies at multiple local and remote sites. This design will be based on campus standards. “Smart classroom” technology shall be incorporated in the seminar room to maximize its capability for distance learning, computer connectivity and modes of communication. The building should be outfitted for teleconferencing, video conferencing and wireless internet access. Laboratories shall be outfitted for optimal data information management and communications technology.

Security Systems

The facility will be provided with card reader access to secure areas, including laboratories and research offices. The building should be equipped with a close circuit television system to cover the exterior grounds, entrances and key interior locations.

4.3 Project Cost Estimate and Budget Project Cost Estimate and Budget are included in Appendix D. The cost estimate has been prepared assuming the following:

• Costs associated with replacing surface parking spaces in a parking structure have not been included.

• Costs associated with relocating the Stock Pavilion, relocating Arthur Ditch and costs associated

with backfilling vacated space in AZ have not been included.

• Inflationary adjustments have been included at 3.5% to expected midpoint of construction in Dec 2015.

With continued volatility in the construction market and potential schedule extension, it should be anticipated that some project scope adjustments might be required at the time of design. 4.4 Proposed Project Schedule With funding of the project in July 2014, it is anticipated that design for the project can be completed by May 2015, followed by construction and commissioning, with occupancy scheduled for March 2017. 4.6 Integration with Academic Master Plans This project is consistent with the current Master Plan for the University as approved by CCHE in April 2004.
