• Structural assessments of existing facilities• Renovations of existing structures• Site retaining wall design• Design of reinforced concrete underground tanks used in

water and wastewater treatment facilities

CAPABILITIES (CONTINUED)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3-Dimensional, digital representation of the physical, functional, and spatial characteristics of a facility. 3D digital representations of a facility can be utilized by the project team during the entire lifecycle of a project. This software is used by our architects and engineers to communicate with owners and contractors during the design, construction, and operation of facilities.

The BIM database can encompass geographic information and special relationships, as well as specific component information that can be utilized for design analysis, engineering calculations, and quantitative properties for estimating. These capabilities can be tracked throughout the life cycle of a project, allowing for evaluation and assessment of decision made during the design of a project.

By incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) practices, the team can visually interpret the BIM model in real time, allowing for a more in-depth understanding of a project’s design features and to make more informed decisions.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING & VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE

When carried beyond the design phase, the BIM dataset can be utilized for fabrication of components, and for construction logistics / sequencing. After construction, the BIM dataset is also effective for maintenance and operation of facilities.

We utilize Revit as our primary design / engineering application when developing BIM datasets for projects. As hardware and software developments around the BIM process have advanced over the last several years, L.R. Kimball has developed an integrated approach that incorporates VR capabilities into our project workflow.

Capabilities include design visualization to immersive walk-throughs. Output options range from still images and animations to stand alone panoramic or virtual environments.

The BIM / VR combination also allows for an immersive experience with the addition of the latest headsets from Oculus and HTC. These visualization options help the entire team, including our clients understand and experience the project before construction begins.

PROJECT EXAMPLES PROJECT EXAMPLES “The Toms River Regional Board of Education, staff, and administration have made it a priority to provide learning environments that meet both the physical and social-emotional needs of our students while preparing them for success in a highly competitive, technological, and globally-connected society.

This bond referendum addresses outdated facilities and repair needs to provide safe, affordable, accessible and equitable schools for all students and staff.”

ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR 25+ BUILDINGS

• L.R. Kimball, together with Maser Consulting P.A., is providing architectural services as well as site/civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering services to Toms River Regional Schools. Over 25 facilities (2.6 Million square feet of space) including support buildings and District fields are included in this project.

• Our team reviewed and assessed the physical condition of each building including each building’s major architectural and structural components as well as mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and security systems. We evaluated the projected useful life of those components, provided an overall building accessibility review for each building, and determined the order of magnitude costs to make upgrades and improvements as required.

• We also reviewed the desired functional improvements for the science classrooms and provided suggestions for reconfigurations to meet the latest teaching requirements. Our team is currently implementing design projects across the entire District, which were identified by the assessment / study.

• Our team also provided MEP design services for a self-funded Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP) Implementation. Work included LED lighting retrofit and new lighting controls, new DDC HVAC control system, retro-commissioning of existing mechanical systems, 4 boiler replacements, and 3 chiller replacements.

L.R. KIMBALL’S APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY

With every project our team designs, we always strive to include sustainable design principles, even if LEED® certification is not our client’s goal. Our team’s full architectural and engineering capabilities allow us to provide in-house integrated systems design, a process mandated by the pursuit of green buildings. Integrated design is the key to producing cost-effective, LEED® Certified projects and high performance green buildings.

Our team has completed over 2 million square feet and over $325 million in construction value of LEED® Certified projects including the following project which was completed in 2016:

Middlesex County College, Science Hall Building, Edison, NJLEED® Gold Level certification

The following is an example of a project where our team incorporated sustainable design elements throughout, however, our client did not pursue LEED Certification.

Sheetz, Inc. Operations & Training Center, Claysburg, PA

• The exterior wall is constructed of metal stud framing over which an exterior insulation system is installed to eliminate thermal bridging.

• The skin of the building consists of fiber cement architectural wall panels, natural stone veneer, and aluminum curtain wall.

• High efficiency condensing boilers rated at 95% efficiency were used, resulting in energy savings and less discharge to the atmosphere.

• High efficiency commercial water heaters can sustain 96% thermal efficiency over the lifetime of the equipment.

“Overall Middlesex County College had a very successful experience working with L.R. Kimball and our students are

now benefiting from their work.”

Donald R. Drost, Jr., Executive Director, Facilities Management

“This building is phenomenal; we are so happy to add it to what we can now call a campus,” said President and CEO Joe Sheetz at

the ribbon-cutting event. “We wanted a building that was modern and has longevity to it,

and we wanted something more collaborative and open. The idea of what a workplace should look like has changed. You need a lot of energy and light. That is what members of today’s workforce

want and demand.”
