PROJECT APPROACH

Understanding the UW Milwaukee Campus at All Scales

To effectively plan for future redevelopment in the Southwest Quadrant that builds on the positive attributes of the UWM campus and creates an aspirational vision, our team must first assess the existing campus facilities and reconfirm or update the quadrant goals within the 2010 Master Plan. The Master Plan and the IRC project under construction provide a strong and current starting point for this next step in the planning process. Lord, Aeck & Sargent’s deep experience at planning and designing innovative, interdisciplinary STEM buildings and precincts combined with experience on nationally recognized campuses including projects in urban contexts such as Baylor’s College of Medicine and the University of Houston in Houston, Wayne State University in Detroit, Georgia State University and Georgia Tech in Atlanta, will allow our team to work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to document the best practices for research-rich, learner-centric environments that will be part of the redevelopment plan.

The opportunity to influence the major campus edge along Kenwood Boulevard with new urban buildings that replace Kunkle, the Physics Building and the western edge along North Cramer Street will create a new campus face for many years into the future. This face must work at all scales; for people in cars, on foot, on bicycles, on skateboards, walking alone or in groups. The ground level building uses, visibility/access into public amenities, paving treatment, landscape materials, wayfinding signage, street furniture, campus lighting are many of the fine grain details that can complement the proper big-picture vision of an active STEM precinct. Our team’s extensive experience in designing virtually every type of building found on an academic campus will enable us to more rigorously test the sizes of building footprints, the potential for existing buildings for adaptive re-use, the massing and proximity of buildings, and the proportions and sizes of green spaces within the Southwest Quadrant. For specific feasibility

assessments, our team will work with the campus to develop design guidelines to achieve a sense of unity throughout the Quadrant. This level of refinement is often developed through the use of digital renderings, hand sketches and photo collages to explore and express the spatial qualities of specific aspects of the Quadrant design.

Creating Connections, Building Community in the Southwest Quadrant

Plans for STEM facilities should always have an institution’s overall educational mission and priorities at heart. In planning for new science equipment and construction, the core goal must be the building of “natural science communities” that reflect the aims of the individual campuses and the wider educational enterprise. The planning process must strive to create a community that is sympathetic with, and supportive of, a strong science program; as well as refine connection strategies between university and private sector partners engaged in STEM research and development.

Our team’s vision for the SWQ Redevelopment Plan will be to lead a process that results in the creation of a plan for adaptive reuse, renovation, new construction and demolition that not only accommodates future growth, but also facilitates strong, positive connections between the institution’s various constituencies, in an effort to build a strong, sustainable campus community. Our team will work in close collaboration with UWM’s core planning team to create an integrated, iterative and inclusive approach that results in an effective and efficient plan that will help achieve future goals and objectives. A core strategy our team found to be critical is the programming of distinct amounts of space as flexible, informal, primarily research intensive, collaboration areas within the building; allocating more of this space for buildings that combine teaching classrooms and labs with research labs. For a location like Milwaukee, our team will look for creative ways to plan a network of building connections that do not discourage movement from building to building at the ground level in the cold months.

PROJECT APPROACH - Cont .

Our team will also enhance the plan to establish a network of gathering spaces, such as quadrangles and lawns, linked by strong pedestrian circulation paths, to facilitate informal interaction between and among students and faculty. Finally, our team could explore unique ideas such as the one we implemented at the University of Alabama’s new STEM precinct where discipline boundaries are de-emphasized or erased altogether by organizing learning and research spaces around specific tools, technology and equipment.

Stakeholder Interaction Required

Modern academic facilities for learning science, technology, engineering and mathematics have become very different places than the spaces designed and built in the past generation. Emerging technologies, concerns about safety, accessibility and environmental issues are now imperative. Buildings that will serve well into the future must also be able to easily adapt to new practices in the ever growing number of interdisciplinary fields, as well as new approaches to teaching and research. All of this must be accomplished in ways that are efficient in terms of the initial cost and are flexible and adaptable enough to permit changes in program and use in the years ahead. Also, sustainable design strategies will be explored; such as energy recovery, low flow fume hoods, chilled beams, recycled condensate and low-flow plumbing fixtures; as some of these strategies may be critical for meeting UWM’s commitment to the environment and lowered operating costs.

One of the largest challenges for effective planning is to maintain communication among faculty, between faculty and administrators and between the campus community and the design and construction professionals in a manner that is timely, comprehensive and completely documented. In response to this we have found it productive when a faculty member acts as a project shepherd, addressing substantive issues throughout the project. Our team learned it is helpful to reduce the project shepherd’s teaching or administrative load in order to provide sufficient time for fulfillment of this important role.

Decisions made during this planning phase and the subsequent programming, design and construction phases will affect the entire campus, and, therefore, must involve a large and representative group of individuals. Members of the faculty, student body and administration should be brought into dialogue with each other to create a campus-wide commitment to the vision for the STEM programs in the Southwest Quadrant. Our team will facilitate discussions in these stakeholder meetings with interactive techniques such as pair-and-share, group posters, and serious play exercises that have proven effective in Project Kaleidoscope STEM seminars over the past twenty years. Our team also recommends using social collaboration software and websites as a way of collecting and aggregating other stakeholder input.

PROJECT APPROACH - Cont .

Redevelopment Planning Process

The planning activities for this project will give user groups an opportunity to discuss objectives, resolve issues, acquaint divergent groups with the needs of others and coordinate with the entire campus constituency in regard to refining the purpose and nature of the Southwest Quadrant Redevelopment. The plan will include appropriate data to determine future projects and identify the scope and cost of each project in a manner consistent with justifiable needs while anticipating critical scheduling or phasing requirements.

Planning Phase Activities:• Review information provided by UWM and

departmental representatives beginning in April 2013

• Prepare and distribute programming guides and interview questionnaires

• Participate in a project kick-off/orientation meeting to discuss goals and objectives for the project, including a slide show presentation of the design team’s perspective on trends in STEM facilities from relevant projects throughout the country

• Conduct interviews with UWM and departmental representatives to gather redevelopment plan information

• Discuss pedagogical trends, Project Kaleidoscope initiatives and flexibility goals for the project

• Develop a preliminary space tabulation spreadsheet listing of laboratories, laboratory support spaces, offices, classrooms and other program components

• Prepare diagrams illustrating prototypical interdisciplinary laboratories, laboratory support space, office, classroom and other program components

• Review and discuss building codes, Milwaukee zoning ordinances, safety standards and guidelines of NIH, OSHA, EPA, AAALAC, NFPA, etc.

• Develop blocking/stacking diagrams indicating the adjacency requirements within departments and between the departments for the quadrant

• Prepare recommendations for functional requirements, design criteria and major space configuration, building system criteria and codes and guidelines utilizing appropriate charts, graphs, diagrams, tables and commentary

• Develop a preliminary construction phasing narrative to assist in the pre-planning of possible construction sequences and scenarios

• Assemble, reproduce and distribute preliminary redevelopment plan to the owner for review and comment by September 2013

• Prepare subsequent feasibility assessments based on owner review comments between October 2013 and March 2014:

• Prepare recommended preliminary design criteria for the precinct’s HVAC, electrical, structural and plumbing systems

• Prepare written narratives for critical design issues such as modular planning and flexibility, circulation, accessibility and noise control

• Develop a preliminary estimate of probable construction cost to determine the approximate order of magnitude associated with individual projects proposed

• Prepare an analysis of area and cost ratios to compare projects to the design team’s national database of benchmarking data from other relevant projects throughout the country

• Assemble, reproduce and distribute copies of the final redevelopment plan report to the owner by May 2014

TEAM EXPERIENCE: PROJECTS

Interdisciplinary Quadrangle Master PlanUniversity of Utah

Lord, Aeck & Sargent prepared a “precinct” master plan for the new Interdisciplinary Research Corridor, as part of their overall campus master plan. The overall master plan created a new, ten plus acre corridor, to accommodate a new interdisciplinary research quadrangle that would also serve as a link between the main lower campus, and the Health Sciences Center and hospital complex.

The scope of work includes the determination of the development opportunities, including; overall site density; a macro-program of uses; massing and density diagrams; a plan for underground development, including shared core areas, underground parking and service requirements; site utility requirements and routings; architectural design

guidelines; storm water plan; and other requirements to describe the full development of the quadrangle. This plan is intended to prepare for and guide the development of the Interdisciplinary Quadrangle prior to the design of the first facility.

The “quad” will support over 1.2 million square feet of interdisciplinary research, focused on biomedical, bioengineering and information technologies. LAS also provided architectural renderings, computer animations and other graphic tools that illustrate the character of the proposed development and be useful for marketing or fund raising.

The quad master plan utilized a zoning code approach for multiple future development options allowing great flexibility for upcoming projects.

Bio Design Institute Strategic Master PlanArizona State University

In 2000, Lord, Aeck & Sargent was called on to lead the development of a strategic plan to increase the teaching and research space in order to recapture the intensity of the Carnegie Foundation “Research I” status. An initial study based on the Higher Education Facilities Inventory (HEFI) metrics had been developed and our charge was to take that data and translate it into space requirements. Our objectives were to build on existing ASU strengths to produce: an institution focused on teaching, research, creative excellence; a flexible, responsive, problem-focused institution; an institution concerned with optimal societal outcomes of research; a cooperative environment with student, faculty, staff in pursuit of excellence; strong and deep linkages to the community; distribution of programs throughout the community; and, nationally competitive interdisciplinary traditions.

The planning revolved around the analysis of the far reaching goals and objectives; a focus on the productivity of all research space that would provide support operations; development of basic productivity and space per principal investigator thresholds, policies, and procedures for space requests and allocation. The eventual funding threshold was established and continues to be $225 per square foot annually in sponsored research. This was based on certain common benchmarks for space per a team of eight - ten post docs, graduate students and technicians per principal investigator. From that, a module of generic space was allocated and became the basis for developing overall needs for the university.

The plan objective was to, over time, migrate interdisciplinary researchers to centers of excellence. This required

planning with a very flexible framework to provide the most positive impact for new space and space used for backfill. This meant that the space allocation plan had to be consistent with the instructional and research objectives of system, university and colleges.

To achieve consistent results, LAS assisted in the updating of the design standards and have been able to apply them to each of the projects on which we have worked.

The initial studies were very comprehensive across campus. The next level of focus was specific building evaluation to determine programmatic space needs, adjacency requirements, pre-design studies and develop projections of costs for the adopted implementation plan.

With the overall plan in place, LAS developed projections of costs for each component in the implementation plan over the planning horizon. Total project budgets were developed for each project, either new or renovation. LAS then put together a month by month cash flow of the multi-year capital improvement scenarios over the duration of the project.

Chemistry & Biology Science Facility Pre-DesignUniversity of Wisconsin - Stevens Point

American Design led this Division of Facilities Development (DFD) pre-design project. The project provided a comprehensive assessment of the educational and research needs for a new Chemistry and Biology science facility at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP). To accelerate the Time to Degree of current UWSP programs and meet growth projections in support of the Natural Sciences as well as new Health Sciences, this $75 million initiative will build new space for the UWSP Chemistry Department to be relocated from the existing 1960’s Science Building. The plan will

also build new space for four learning clusters of the UWSP Biology Department to be relocated here. These clusters include Introductory Biology, Human Biology, Botany, and Cell/Micro/Molecular Biology. Building space will also include seven 55 seat general academic classrooms and two lecture halls with 110 seats each. Chemistry and Biology learning clusters will dramatically enhance delivery of their respective curriculums with contemporary teaching and prep labs spaces utilizing advanced technologies and equipment. Supporting these curriculum are special lab spaces, (herbarium, conservatory, etc.) as well as research lab space. Perhaps most notably the notion of creating a “sticky” building where student are encouraged to linger will be enhanced by a hierarchy of public spaces from small collaborative learning alcoves to a large exterior courtyard. The concept of a sequence of public spaces will reinforce the campus place as a science “community”. Construction is slated to begin in 2014.

› Project Development Budget: $75 million

› Led by American Design, with Harley Ellis Devereaux - Chicago as a subconsultant

School of Medicine Strategic Master Plan & ProjectsUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Lord, Aeck & Sargent has been continuously working with the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill since 1996. We have been involved in the two iterations of the Strategic Master Planning for the Research Campus and most recently developed the School of Medicine’s first animal master plan.

In addition to our planning role, Lord, Aeck & Sargent has led the programming and design of over 800,000 square feet of biomedical research facilities. The Medical Biomolecular Research Building, which was an infill and tie in between two existing buildings, was developed to house a variety of research types related to the growing field of Biomolecular Research. Connected to two adjacent research facilities, the research center is contextually sensitive to its neighbors, yet it possesses distinguishing characteristics and serves as the front door to the Medical School. The center’s laboratory space was designed to accommodate ever-changing research trends and provide flexibility for

changing departmental assignments. This nine-story building contains 500-seat and 200-seat auditoriums, video conferencing and distance learning, 177,000 gsf of biomolecular research labs, 24,000 gsf of dry laboratory space, support and mechanical space, 20,000 gsf animal facility with 7,000 mouse cages, and interstitial service corridors.

Another project which was an outgrowth of the School of Medicine Master Planning, the Genetic Medicine Building stands as a significant addition to the campus and provides a primary component in the medical center’s expanding research facilities. This 340,000 gsf building provides extensive state-of-the-art wet and dry lab functions, office areas, and support space for genetics, pharmacology, and other life sciences research. The seven-story building has two animal floors and five laboratory floors. The building houses the largest animal husbandry facilities on the campus, with automated robotic cage washing and processing systems. The first two floors of the building consist of 70,000 gsf animal research facilities for rodents. One of these floors is designed to operate as a strict barrier with the total capacity of the vivarium reaching 45,000 cages.

Human & Agricultural Biosciences Blg. Precinct PlanVirginia Polytechnic University

The LAS led precinct plan includes four research buildings with an overall area of approximately 100,000 gsf each. All four buildings are projected to be three to four stories tall. The arrangement of the four buildings will create a traditional campus Quadrangle that is appropriate to the scale of a graduate and PhD population. A future chiller plant, future surface parking, and a future parking deck with mixed-use amenities, such as food service and retail, will be located to the west of the complex.

The proposed surface parking area will accommodate approximately 475 cars. The proposed parking deck will accommodate approximately 1300 cars in four parking levels. The proposed mixed use amenities space is planned to be one to two stories tall and 30,000 gsf. Mixed uses may include a life sciences commons, food and cafeteria space, formal and informal meeting space and campus security. Phasing of this work will occur in coordination with the construction of the HABB Precinct.

The scale and proportion of the formal open space of the new Precinct is similar to that of the existing Quad located near the southwestern corner of the drill field, known as the Agriculture Quad. This space was mentioned as being exemplary several times during the design team’s meetings and presentations at Virginia Tech. The scale of the new open spaces created along the Washington Street extension will be similar to drive through and into the new Precinct. Open spaces within the Precinct are connected and overlapped in order to facilitate pedestrian movement, like several existing open spaces on campus. The pattern of overlapping open spaces allows free-flowing movement from open space to open space. Pedestrian nodes – places of gathering, discussion and wayfinding – are defined at the intersections. These nodes and Quads are major components of the HABB Precinct identity.
