Smart Design. We bring a unique value-driven mind-set to every project. Extensive experience working with developers, where time is money, makes us different. We’ve learned how to do things smarter to get the most value out of every budget dollar. We were early leaders in fast-track, team-construct, design/build-GMP and mechanical/ electrical design/build approaches and have established new precedents with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), a fundamentally different approach to the design and construction process. We leverage smart technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and organize in smart ways to reduce waste, maximize efficiency through all phases of the project and optimize project results.

Sustainable Solutions. “Green” strategies are an integral part of every design. We know that even small measures can make a big difference over the lifetime operation of a facility. Over half of our architects and interior designers are LEED Accredited Professionals and our portfolio of work includes two million square feet of LEED rated projects.

Technical Capabilities. We are proficient with major Computer Aided Design Systems (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) programs including the latest versions of Revit, Navisworks, Rhino and AutoCAD, as well as Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Office Suites for the production of contract documents and schedule tracking. To help our clients visualize their projects, we have in-house expertise in SketchUp, Rhino, Autodesk 3D Max Design, Point Cloud Data and Apple Quicklime VR, tools used to generate three dimensional CAD modeling, photo realistic renderings, animations and interactive simulations of sites, exterior and interior spaces. Many of our clients rely on our sophisticated in-house computer capabilities to support their marketing and fundraising campaigns.

FOCUS ON:STUDENT HOUSING TRENDS Student housing for the millennial generation and beyond must meet and exceed the expectations of students. To stay relevant to emerging trends, a variety of amenities must be provided, including:

• Common areas critical to build community and a sense of place for students during their collegiate experience, including fitness and sports-oriented common areas

• Individualize study spaces to provide learning support, as well as group spaces

• Accessible technology such as flat screens, video gaming and WiFi services

• Providing a safe environment with key card access along with exterior surveillance cameras

• Dining that supports healthy lifestyles with multiple fresh food venues, culinary classes and a coffee house with extended hours

• Use of natural light throughout living spaces and common space

• “Green” features such as finishes, materials and energy conservation efforts are important to younger generations

• Exterior circulation, landscaping, outdoor dining and gathering spaces that are flexible as social spaces

Michigan State University1855 PlaceMichigan State University’s new development, across from the Breslin Center, will frame the area and act as a gateway to the campus. With Residential and Hospitality Services (RHS) and MSU Athletics administration finding a new, consolidated home at the site, not only will residents be able to easily secure tickets to the next big game, but the benefits of this new collaborative and efficient workspace will be felt across the university.

Plans include 429 units in 10 separate apartment buildings comprising 450,000 sf of housing, a 102,000 square foot office building for RHS and various units of Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, event ticketing sales, RHS retail space, a community garden, town homes and plenty of open common green space. It will also incorporate 1,200 surface parking spaces and 880 parking structure spaces. Combined with the nearby University Village development and land west of the property, it will be 39 acres of development.

Options will include one bedroom studio apartments, four-bedroom town homes and larger two or four-bedroom apartments, and offer students better access to the resources they need for their studies.

The development offers a flexible concept, designed to provide a customized experience for both single students and student families in an accessible, walkable, urban setting. New facilities will offer a blend of study and community spaces, supporting a new vision for how MSU students live, work and play.

The new “Gateway” to campus supports MSU’s mission to be Bolder By Design by enhancing the student living-learning

experience and advancing the university’s culture of high performance.

Michigan Technological UniversityHillside Place

Michigan Tech’s Hillside Place offers a new type of campus housing, combining the social benefits of dormitory style housing with the option of an indepen-dent apartment lifestyle. The hybrid building fits into the University’s modern architectural style, but also evokes a unique “north woods lodge” aesthetic with forms, details, materials and finishes not typically used in student housing.

The building contains private bedrooms with semi-private bathrooms and shared great rooms including kitchens. The building also includes a wide variety of common areas to enhance the live-learn experience. The upper lodge features a large lobby/lounge with kitchenette, fitness center, sauna and multi-function room. The lower lodge includes a lounge space, game room and meeting room. Laundry rooms, trash rooms, and quiet study lounges can be found on each floor.

Common interior spaces are finished using highly durable materials. The flexible room design allows for conventional or lofted dorm room furniture.

Zaragon HoldingsZaragon Place

Neumann/Smith designed a new, privately developed housing project, centrally located in the heart of the University of Michigan’s central campus.

The nine story high building, plus partial mezzanine creating two-story high penthouses on the top floor, features a dramatic glass lobby, and a 2-story ground level fitness center. The architectural style combines traditional Campus Gothic typology with an edgy industrial loft aesthetic.

The project offers dramatic and flexible living spaces in a state-of-the-art high rise building. Lofts range in size from 917 sf for a two-bedroom unit with one bathroom, to 2,034 sf for a six-bedroom unit with three bathrooms, spacious lofts areas and two-story great rooms. The most common units offer 1,255 sf of area in a four-bedroom, two bath unit configuration.

A high level of controllability of lighting and thermal comfort ensures building user control to maximize comfort while not wasting energy. Living spaces utilize operable windows for natural ventilation to minimize the consumption of energy and to provide fresh air.

Michigan State UniversityThe Vista at Shaw HallThe Vista at Shaw Hall is a new flagship central dining facility on the MSU campus, offering seating for 600 people in three distinct Marché style dining venues, each with its own daily menu, atmosphere and seating areas. The project involved renovation of the occupied main level dining area including a new kitchen and dishwashing area, student lounges, renovation of the East and West lobbies, a new loading dock, and modification to the terraced level to facilitate infrastructure improvements for the main level. The scope of the work included complete demolition of the existing dining hall down to the bare structure and the installation of new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. A temporary kitchen and seating area was installed on the first floor to serve students during the renovation.

Paramount to the success of the project was the use of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), the first full IPD project on the MSU campus, and the first in the state of Michigan and nationally for a public university. Using the IPD approach, over 95% of commitments were kept during the design phase, only 13 RFIs were submitted (versus more than 300 typical on other MSU projects), and the cost of change orders fell below the 3% contingency.

The Vista at Shaw at Michigan State University is a “Spartan Green” dining hall, executed with sustainable construction practices and promoting a variety of sustainable building features and programs. The project achieved LEED Gold.

Among its energy-saving features: variable-speed fans that conserve energy; low-flow plumbing fixtures; light-emitting diode and low-wattage lights; and the use of reclaimed lumber from old demolished barns that trim much of the space.

Shaw Hall has seen an increase in dining of 30% of non-Shaw residents since the renovation.

Central Michigan UniversityGraduate Housing

Central Michigan University’s Graduate Student Housing project has become a shining example of sustainability in residential buildings. The project obtained Platinum Certification under LEED for Homes guidelines, making it the first Platinum LEED for Homes building in the Midwest. The student housing was designed to maximize fresh air indoors and minimize exposure to airborne toxins and pollutants, as well as save on costly resources like water and energy to reduce utility bills. The one, two, and four bedroom suites offer spacious great rooms with large windows overlooking landscaped green spaces. Active and passive outdoor recreation areas, a central mail center, and landscaped bio-swale are combined with dedicated parking areas for residents. Full kitchens feature polished granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and built-in pantry with recycling center. Each unit contains a laundry room with a side-by-side, full-sized Energy Star rated washer and dryer. Also included are a fully equipped fitness, a variety of small and large meeting rooms, and unique third-story roof terraces. The pedestrian scale buildings support CMU’s and the City of Mount Pleasant’s mutual goal of a walkable community. Universal Design practices and sustainable design measures were integrated into the design to create an energy efficient complex recognized by its tenants as a great place to live and by the community as a model for sustainable living.

“This building will reduce our energy consumption by 36 percent, which is estimated to save us $52,000 annually.” Steve Lawrence, Associate Vice President of Facilities Management

EdRThe Courtyards

Our challenge for this privately owned development was to organize a high density of student housing on a very narrow and compact site adjacent to the University of Michigan’s North Campus.

Our solution was to create three 4-story courtyard buildings arranged in a linear group. The dense development and underground parking allowed more of the site to be devoted to passive and active recreation including a badminton court over the underground parking deck, a heavily landscaped greenspace in the center courtyard, and a series of urban plazas including an outdoor fireplace and barbecue area in the south courtyard.

The complex includes 331 units in a wide variety of configurations. Each unit features one to four private bedrooms, a central living and dining space with full kitchen, and laundry facilities. A centrally located community area includes management offices, a model apartment, recreational lounges, club meeting rooms, café, tanning salons, a 20 seat movie theatre, music practice rooms and a sand volleyball court.

The 370-bed North Residence Hall was the first phase of the University’s goal of adding 5,000 housing units to the commuter campus.  A budget of $125/sf was the major generator of the design for this design/build project which is a simple six-story masonry bearing wall and concrete plank structure arranged in a double-loaded corridor configuration.  The majority of the building is comprised of two-bed apartments with bath, as well as a few single rooms. The first floor includes offices for the University’s housing administration, retail space, a cafeteria and the Warrior Grill.

The South Hall is a 6-story, 465-bed facility which utilizes the same architec-tural vocabulary as the North Hall for unity, including the glass bay windows which identify each of the three study/social lounges per floor. The South Hall’s U-shaped plan encloses a landscaped private courtyard for use by residents of both halls. A double height multi-use space serves as an anchor for the southern end of the courtyard and as a complement to the dining facility of the North Hall. A first floor enclosed link connects both buildings for the residents’ convenience. The kitchen/servery capacity was master planned to accommo-date 800-900 students.

Ferris State UniversityUniversity Center & Quad CafeNeumann/Smith turned an outdated, traditional cafeteria into a new dining experience called the Quad Café. The Café has over 6,000 square feet of new dining space with 13 different food venues, ranging from World Fusion and the Breakfast Skillet to Asianand Mexican fare.

As varied as its cuisine, the beautiful palette of materials in the Quad Café and throughout the interior satisfies the senses and clearly passes the aesthetic version of a taste test. “We are extremely proud of the building,” said FSU Associate Vice President for Physical Plant, Michael Hughes. “It’s not just another building on campus. It is a showpiece, a destination and the very first building we show people when they arrive on campus.”

The inner sanctum of this 240-seat dining area has the sensibility of a North Woods lodge. It all begins with a row of treated birch tree trunks at the entrance. The softlighting and a stunning green granite countertop, resembling a leafy forest canopy, adds to the ambiance. Structural alterations in the “lodge” opened up the space. The team had to remove an existing load-bearing wall to open up the area. New columns were added and lintels were created to span the opening. The lodge also has countless areas showcasing the dense weave of materials, ranging from glass tile, wood, wood laminate and metal reveals that needed to be seamlessly fused together to create the fine details of this beautiful space.

A comfortable “living room” for students to meet, relax, study and socialize, the new University Center has been transformed into an architectural centerpiece to enliven the nearby quad and showcase the student life of FSU. It is the place to “see and be seen” and a hub for student life. The Center now provides a dynamic, student-centered facility that kindles learning opportunities and collaboration between students, faculty, and community.

The Café has over 6,000 square feet of new dining space with 13 different food venues, ranging from World Fusion and the Breakfast Skillet to Asian and Mexican fare.
