“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

3

For the College of Creative Studies, our biggest goals are to:• Foster the reciprical exchange of ideas between CCS faculty and students

through integrated learning spaces.• Integrate the various disciplines in the CCS through porous, interactive interiors.• Create a cost-effective and energy-efficient structure modeling sustainable

long-range development

In all of our decisions, we kept these and other goals in mind to meet your college’s requests and the university’s long-range development plan.

Success is meeting your goals and objectives. ”

Our design proposes 3 structures connected by terraces on the site south of Ucen Road. These structures will house approximately 39,000 sq. ft. of classrooms, faculty offices, studios, labs, administration, and public spaces dedicated to showcasing the College of Creative Studies and student work. The college will also provide about 2,500 sq. ft. of housing to accommodate 42 beds.

We go beyond the IBC and ADA codes to provide a comfort and safety. This site will utilize energy-efficient HVAC systems, take advatange of natural ventilation, and be partially covered by photovoltaic panels. These innovations reduce building energy use and will improve occupancy health with higher-quality indoor environments.

In addition to the CCS, we will resurface the parking lot north of Ucen Road to accomodate 144 vehicles. This reduction in vehicles emphasizes the university’s LRDP of creating a more pedestrian-friendly campus. The parking lot will be framed with a plaza that connects the CCS with the university library.

The project will run on a 36 month schedule that includes predesign, criteria development, RFP response period, design, construction, and postconstruction. Construction will take 20 months to complete.

SUSTAINABILITY & ENERGY-EFFICIENCY

OUR PROPOSAL FOR THE CCS

THE EMI ADVANTAGE

• 53,000 GSF, 39,000 ASF• Includes housng for 42-beds• $36,540,000 budget• 36 month schedule (20 months construction)

PROPOSAL SUMMARY

This team has experience developing educational buildings and residential complexes similar to the College of Creative Studies at UCSB, including:

• UNLV Greenspun Hall• UCSD Rady School of Management• UCI E. Campus Housing

We also take the time to research precedent structures and see how we can incorporate unique designs with the state-of-the-art facilities we create. This dedication to research and experience-building is what makes EMI a leader in innovation.

Our initial analysis concludes that we can achieve LEED Gold for the CCS project with smart planning and little additional cost. Many sustainable decisions were made in the early selection of materials, facades, and roof system. In addition to visible energy-efficient components of the structure, such as photovoltaic panels, our design incorporates native plants to Santa Barbara, vegetative roofs, recycled or readily available materials, and low-solar-gaining surfaces. With these premium additions and energy-efficient solutions, we propose a budget of $35,000,000 that includes building costs, general requirements, landscaping, and design.

Our design proposal for the College of Creative Studies will become a key component of the campus core and become a model of sustainable, value-engineered construction that future UCSB buildings will follow.

EMI, Inc. was created with one goal in mind: to provide professional interdisciplinary and design-build services to clients seeking energy-efficiency, value, and innovation. We pride ourselves with integrity in business, safety in construction, and ambition in design.

Our design-build project delivery method contracts consultants (architects, engineers, facility planners, etc.) and constructors together to develop a project through near-continuous design. This collaboration allows opinions and ideas to be made with the consultation of all parties involved in the project to mitigate conflicts. To qualify for public projects, our design-build project delivery hires subcontractors based on qualifications, lowest cost, and availability. In practice, design-build is one of the fastest project delivery methods because there are no change orders to go through between the architect and constructor. In addition, the owner, like the College of Creative Studies, will only have one contract to deal with.

THE TRADITIONAL DESIGN-BID-BUILD PROCESSThe design-bid-build project delivery method accounts for 3/4 of all projects developed in the U.S. It is the traditional delivery method and is the required method to qualify for public projects.

In this method, the owner contracts the architect and constructor separately. The architect and constructor then subcontract any work necessary to deliver the project for the owner.

Subsequently, the architects and constructor are forced to work together but do not have a direct contractural relationship to each other - resulting in a conflict of interests.

We do not recommend this delivery method because it involves:• Least opportunity for quality• Slow development process• Heavy owner management

The figure to the left represents the contractural organization of the traditional design-bid-build process.

2.4a OUR ORGANIZATION

ADVANTAGES OF THE DESIGN-BUILD PROCESSThe figure to the right highlights the key advantages of design-build project delivery versus traditional design-bid-build. This delivery method provides the CCS with only one contract to EMI, Inc., which will provide construction management, design services, and postconstruction analysis.

In practice, design-build is the fastest delivery method, allowing us to devlop your project within 3 years, with less than 2 years of that time entailing actual construction. Essentially, design-build project delivery enables EMI, Inc. to delivery the highest quality structure that fits your budget without sacrificing your goals and needs.

DESIGN-BUILDFor this project, we recommend utilizing design-build project delivery. Design-build is an innovative delivery method that offers clients the opportunity to collaborate with an integrated design and construction team to achieve their visions. WIth design-build, you will only have one contract that creates a contractural relationship between an architect and contractor to deliver your project. In our organization, we provide in-house design from architects and engineers, as well as construction management from experienced professionals.

We propose for the College of Creative Studies to contract EMI, Inc. to act as the designer/contractor for the proposed project at UCSB. Subcontractors will then be selected based on lowest cost to qualify for a public project contract. In addition to cost, subcontractors will also be selected on qualifications and availability as necessary. This organization will allow us to provide the design-build services we specialize in while ensuring that you receive the best value for the subcontracted consultants and constructors.

DESIGNDesign will be spearheaded by our principal architect, Chistina Hackett. Christina and her team of architects consult with the entire EMI team at weekly meetings to establish communication between design, engineering, and construction. In addition to buiding design, we have an in-house landscape and urban design team to integrate the site with the building and further achieve the visual and spatial objectives of the CCS.

ENGINEERSThroughout design, engineers will consult with designers to achieve the most efficient and buildable structure possible. We have in-house structural engineers and will subcontract mechanical and civil engineers to help plan site development, coordinate MEP designs, and successfully incorporate auxillary systems into the building design.

CONSTRUCTIONConstruction will be managed by our preconstruction manager and coordinated by our project manager and superintendents. These professionals will provide constructability reviews and overall input into the design. As progress of the project proceeds beyond design, specialties and trade subcontractors will be selected and managed by this branch of our team.

2.6 EXEMPLARY PROJECTS

The Rady building is home to a new management school for UCSD which includes multiple tiered classrooms, administrative offices, Dean’s Suite, Executive Education/EMBA offices, and other support areas. The University is planning to move forward with the design for a Phase II building that will tie in with this project.

EMI, Inc. provided design consultation and preconstruction services for UCSD. We utilized building information modelling to mitigate mechanical system clashes with architectural and structural elements throughout the building. We remained as partners throughout the development of the site, overseeing construction as well as coordinating with overseas suppliers for the exterior cladding.

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGASGREENSPUN HALLCONSTRUCTION: January 2007 - December 2008PROJECT BUDGET: $93,700,000SIZE: 120,000 SF, 5 floorsTYPE: Steel-frame, concrete panels

Acting as a CM-at-risk, EMI, Inc. teamed up with the design team at HKS Architects, consulting with the owner throughout preconstruction stages. This process allowed us to meet and exceed the objectives of the Green Spun Hall Project by implementing cost-effective solutions. We coordinated with subcontractors to value-engineer and to address architectural and engineering constructability challenges before the actual construction occurred.

The Greenspun Hall has similarities to the CCS and is comprised of energy-efficient building products we would like to use at UCSB, such as unobtrusive photovoltaics and horizontal louvers.

EMI manifests our clients’ visions while redefining the built and natural environment, through design, engineering, and construction in a design-build approach, guided by integrity, innovation, and the pursuit of building excellence. ”

“

The Greenspun hall houses six of the seven academic units that comprise the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs. For the first time in the college’s history, the College of Urban Affairs are now integrated into spaces conducive to collaboration and innovation.

Greenspun Hall was designed, in part, to help foster closer collaboration among department faculty and to encourage interdisciplinary academic efforts. The Greenspun Hall houses the following spaces:

•MediaFacility(1stfloor)•StudentAdvisingCenter(2ndfloor)•HankGreenspunSchoolofJournalismandMediaStudies(2ndFloor)•EnvironmentalStudies(3rdFloor)•SchoolofSocialWork(3rdFloor)•CommunicationStudies(4thFloor)•PublicAdministration(4thFloor)•CriminalJustice(5thFloor)•OfficeoftheDeanoftheCollegeofUrbanAffairs(5thFloor)

The building has approximately 63,000 SF of conditioned space and 101,000 SF of new construction. The project also includes associated sitework, including landscaping, utilities, and tie-ins to existing parking areas.

The building is four stories with a portion of the first floor below grade. The exterior skin consists of a combination of composite (phenolic) panels, stone composite panels, aluminum curtain/window walls, and plaster. The main mechanical systems are fed by a campus hot and chilled water system that was extended to serve the building. The project also included associated sitework, including landscaping, utilities, and tie-ins to existing parking areas.

The Rady School of Management offers high-quality design elements and energy-efficient solutions within an affordable budget. Similar to the CCS, the site was located directly adjacent to student housing facilities and located on major pedestrian pathways making the project limited in construction hours, material laydown availability, and involved heavy traffic control planning.

SECTION 4.0 CONCEPT DESCRIPTION

Our structural design is based on a simple grid system that reflects the building’s linear form. The structural system is integrated with the architectural design intent and space programs; maximizing beam spans allow for open floor plans and avoiding the use of load-bearing walls allows for program changes based on the College of Creative Studies’ future development.

Steel is the project’s structural framing material. Comprised of recycled content, steel is an appropriate choice for an environmentally-conscious project, is readily available, and allows for a relatively fast construction process. The structure was designed to frame vistas and view corridors from the site; a steel structural system consisting of moment frames and braced frames will be used to resist lateral forces in our building. This will allow for an open and inviting space that isn’t constricted by shear walls. Moment frames will resist the longitudinal lateral loads of each building, while braced frames will resist the transverse lateral loads.

The lateral force-resisting system consists of Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames (BRBF’s) and Reduced Beam Section (RBS) Moment Frames. BRBF’s are an ideal lateral force resisting system for high seismic areas like California. The main component of BRBF’s is the brace, which is braced against buckling under compressive loads by a concrete casing that surrounds the brace’s inner steel core plates. This buckling-restraining system limits out-of-plane movements and allows the braced frame to sustain large compressive strains. RBS Moment Frames are designed to have a ductile response to seismic forces. The reduced beam improves the beam-to-column connection design; the beam of an RBS moment frame is weakened when portions of the beam flanges are trimmed away in the region adjacent to the beam-to-column connection. This causes yielding to occur within the reduced section of the beam, which is an area that can sustain large strains, and avoids potentially catastrophic damage in the column.

Our design team has decided to exceed the minimum seismic code requirements of life safety and design for immediate occupancy. Structural damage in the event of an earthquake will be minimized, reducing the amount of repair necessary to restore the building to an operational level. As part of the university’s academic core, a more sustainable and long-lasting design will ensure the building’s resilience in the event of an earthquake.

A STRUCTURAL SYSTEM THAT BUILDS ON DESIGNCONTRASTING GEOMETRIC ARCHITECTURE WITH ENTICING LANDSCAPING

INNOVATIVE DESIGN PAIRS QUALITY WITH CONSTRUCTABILITY

The landscape design is focused on attracting people to the site, taking advantage of scenic views and contrasting the geometric properties of the building. Sweeping curves tie the existing and proposed circulation paths, through the building, to the interior courtyard. This creates a site that is very porous and well connected to the rest of the campus. Although the interior courtyard is openly connected to the surrounding campus ,it still achieves an intimate and inward focused feel through the use of wrapping seat walls and sheltering plant material.

The proposed design for the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara embodies the organic nature of art and music with the geometrical essence of math and science. The contrasting landscape and building design work together to create an environment that symbolizes the diversity of the CCS. With energy-efficiency in mind, the building integrates sustainability features, such as solar panels and horizontal louvered wood paneling, as a key feature of the architectural aesthetics.

All buildings are designed to be one classroom wide to create narrow spaces that will allow controlled, natural light to penetrate all rooms. Exterior circulation influenced the form of the buildings, which are three separate structures connected with terraces and catwalks. The use of exterior circulation reduces heating/cooling of non-assignable spaces to save energy and also acts as shading devices for lower levels. Exterior circulation is a cost-effective feature of the building that allows exterior lighting systems to serve for site security and circulation illumination.

Terraces are used primarily to bridge the structures together, but also framing the interior courtyard. These terraces, located on each floor level of the structure, allows students, faculty, and visitors to enjoy the outdoor environment and the views of the surrounding university and lagoon.

Our designers programmed spaces to take advantage of daylighting schemes and to create a functional flow of learning spaces. Studios on the northern part of the site take advantage of indirect daylighting for unobstrusive natrual lighting and ventilation.

Site visits and Google Earth imaging revealed the opportunity for unobstructed views of the ocean from the 2nd and 3rd of the CCS. Thus, residential housing on the south part of the site provides beautiful views of the ocean. These south-facing spaces will have insulated windows in combination with horizontal louvers to control sunlight and allow for natural heating or passive cooling.

Integration of the staff office, classrooms, and labs were also important in the design of the CCS. Staff offices are flanked by classrooms, allowing students and faculty to intermingle and communicate openly among the college. The varying spaces from studios, to computer labs, to science labs and classrooms are spread out among the buildings to effectively integrate the majors of the CCS without compromising functionality of learning spaces.

The structure is also an integral part of the design, which is seen by the exposed moment and braced frames in not only the buildings, but also the solar panel canopy and the shading devices. The modulated design not only brings costs down, but it also allows for different functions to be placed within the spaces.

GROUND LEVEL

The three buildings are placed in a position to create an interior courtyard for the College of Creative Studies. The courtyard is par-tially shaded by a solar panel shading canopy that integrates the panels as a part of the architectural aesthetics. Placed on the southern part of the site, the buildings draw pedestrians into the courtyard coming from the core of campus to housing, and on campus residents walking onto campus.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

The organic landscape, is designed to contradict the geometrical design, which brings the arts and maths and sciences together. The sculpture garden is placed outside of the gallery and near the theater lobby, creating strong indoor and outdoor relationships among all the di�erent spaces called for in the program. The site is also designed to allow for easy accessibility to all interior and exterior spaces from the interior courtyard.

STUDIOS/LABS/OFFICES

The design incorporates full integration of sta� o�ces and classrooms/labs, allowing for interaction between students and professors on a daily basis when walking around the site. All buildings are one classroom wide to allow for all interior spaces to have natural lighting and ventilation. The design also incudes all exterior circulation among catwalks to ensure that no energy is wasted heating and cooling unnecessary spaces.

Executive Conference with views facing south, looking over at the ocean

The Sculpture garden con-sists of raised planter beds to display student sculptures

Catwalks allow for exterior circulation, ensuring conser-vation of energy so that heating and cooling is not wasted on hallways. Both the second and third level have terraces, so the stu-dents and faculty can enjoy the nice Santa Barbara weather and the views.

The working sculpture yard is located near both the wood/metal shop and the sculpture studio to allow for closeness in proximity

UCenn road will be paved to create a more pedestrian walk way that is safer for occupants. The paving will also still allow for service and emergency vehicles to access other parts of the sites.

Service vehicle parking is located on the west side of the site where it is currently located. The location of the parking is near the theaters and administration for con-venience.

EXPLODED PERSPECTIVE OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS5.5 STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Buckling restrained brace frame and moment frame compose the lateral force resistance systems throughout the structure

Beam and joist system supporting concrete decks and roof systems

Horizontal louvers supported by columns extending from ground level to photovoltaic panels

Photovoltaic panels supported by beams connected to roof of east structure. Cantilever achieved by columns extending to ground level

Dendritic columns support terraces to achieve architectrual bio-mimicry

6” concrete composite decks comprise levels. Floors will have finished concrete topping or carpetting depending on spaces

22-27’ drilled caissons will be drilled into bedrock to provide a foundation that allows the CCS to achieve immediate occupancy following earthquakes

Grade beams will mount caissons to a 6”- deep slab on grade to top off the substructure

5.7 STRUCTURAL DETAILS

SPIDER GLAZINGDENDRITIC STRUCTURE

The columns that support the terraces that connect the buildings within our project are designed after a natural dendritic form, which develops with multi-branching tree-like extensions. Dendritic crystal growth, illustrated by snowflake formation and frost patterns on a window, forms a natural fractal pattern. This bio-mimicry technique provides gravity support of the concrete terrace slabs through axial compression and bridges the organic flow of our landscape design to the linear architectural form of our structure.

A spider glazing curtain wall system provides the building façade with an “all-glass” appearance and consists of frameless toughened glass assemblies which are bolted together at their corners by means of metal patch fittings.

Glass panel joints are sealed with silicone, and tension cables provide lateral stability against wind loading. The final glass assembly is suspended from the building structure by hangers bolted to its top edge, and is sealed into channels.

The design development of the this project is a direct response to the existing site and the goals for the future of the campus. With the college being at the crossroads of the university, both physically and academically, cohesive integration was a key concept for the design.

Not only did the site plan need to coalesce with and complement the building, it was important that it responded positively to the

surrounding campus to intrigue visitors and create a sense of belonging.

Our design strives to reach out to the core of campus and bring that energy into the new heart of the College of Creative Studies. Curvilinear

paths, accentuated by plant material, paving patterns, lighting and glimpses of students’ artwork will draw people from the significant

pedestrian corridors into interior courtyard.

At EMI, we feel sustainability is a mandatory social responsibility we owe to our clients and building occupants. It is proven that green building contributes to higher student attendance rates, less faculty sick days, and more productivity when working. A facility such as the College of Creative Studies, that inspires to be conducive to advanced and collaborative learning should consider as many sustainable building practices as possible. We believe LEED Gold should be the minimum certification for the CCS.

The table below summarizes our LEED analysis for this site. Conservatively, we are looking at 62 LEED credits we will definitely acquire with smart, basic design decisions that already adhere to the client’s expectations and UCSB Sustainability Plan. Another 41 points are available to the CCS, while 7 points cannot be acquired due to site applicability. LEED Gold certification only requires 60 points, which we believe we will acquire through sustainable sites, improved water & efficiency, and increasing our use of recyclable materials and resources.

This project will earn a minimum of 15/26 credits in Sustainable Sites (SS). Many of these points are earned from the existing site, which is in close proximity to basic services and easily accessable by alternative transportation. Our design will earn credits from stormwater pollution prevention, light pollution prevention, and mitigation of the heat-island effect. The heat-island effect occurs when a building acts as a solar conductor, trapping heat from the sun because of dark-colored surfaces, low-reflective materials, and extensive use of hardscapes like asphalt. By installing photovoltaic panels and vegetative roofs, we will harness solar energy rather than trap heat into the atmosphere.

We will earn 6/10 credits in Water & Efficiency (WE) with the remaining 4 credits fairly easy to acquire. We propose using vegetated roofs and native plants in our landscapes to reduce the need for irrigation water. With additional investment and development, we can take this one step further by trapping and storing rainwater. For occupant water use, low-flow, dual-flush toilets can be installed to reduce potable water usage by 50%.

Energy & Atmosphere (EA) offers the greatest opportunity to acquire credits. Our designs incorporate photovoltaic panels in our terrace/courtyard roof systems and would contribute to the projected 10-15% energy savings the CCS will achieve (in comparison to typical, comparable-sized structures). To save more electricity, occupancy sensors and timers will be installed into all rooms that will shut off lights when not in use. Additional credits can be earned based on the clients desire to invest in additional energy-reducing technologies.

Materials & Resources (MR) allows the CCS to acquire 7 more points. Our initial designs utilize glazing, concrete, architectural wood, structural steel, and masonry. From our preliminary research, we found suppliers that recycle concrete and steel, two major structural components of our site. 3 more points may be acquired with additional investment into recycled materials. Finalized designs will also contribute to the possibility of earning all 10 LEED credits in this category.

We prioritize Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) because it plays a major role in occupant health and happiness in a building. Poor indoor air quality is attributed to asthma, increased allergy symptoms, and mold growth. With proper ventilation to the outdoor environment, these issues can be mitigated. The CCS will be equipped with automated windows that open when the artificial ventilation system is shut off. In addition, we designed rooms to have nultiple openings via doorways and windows to allow air to flow freely through spaces. Through such techniques, the CCS will earn 10 IEQ credits from our initial designs with another 3 credits available.

Our LEED accredited professionals will acquire 1 point in Innovation & Design (ID) and we anticipate getting 3 more from our innovative designs. The final LEED inspection will determine the remaining points. According to USGBC.org, Regional Priority credits may be awarded to projects focusing on specific credits in LEED categories: Sustainable Sites, Water & Efficiency, and Energy & Atmosphere.

5.12 ENERGY-EFFICIENCY ANALYSISOur design proposal consists of programmed spaces that take into consideration daylighting, ventilation, and air temperature. These factors contribute to the building’s energy efficiency by passively cooling or heating the interior spaces.

The south-facing walls are protected by exterior horizontal louvers which block out intense summertime sunlight, which cut down on ventilation and cooling costs. Alternatively these louvers will allow winter sunlight to penetrate to the south-facing office and studio spaces, which cut down on artificial heating costs.

The section perspective below illustrates daylighting and natural ventilation of the north section of the buiding.

This portion of the CCS consists of mainly the art studios, which take advantage of the north-facing, indirect sunlight beaming through floor-to-ceiling glazing. On the north side, window treatments (horizontal louvers or vertical blinds) will allow students and instructors to control privacy and desired levels of natural lighting.

The openness of the floor-to-ceiling glazing also draws the attention of visitors and passerbys, harnessing the College of Creative Studies’ vision of porousity and connecting to the surrounding university.

A combination of open doors and windows on the south and north-facing walls will allow natural ventilation to flow smoothly through the interior spaces. Automated windows will open and close depending on thermostat controls. If the HVAC system is artificially ventilation a space, windows will automatically open.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN: LANDSCAPE

PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTIONOnce we receive our notice to proceed, we will prepare the site by installing necessary traffic and pedestrian controls, closing off the site with a dust-screen fence, and being procuring equipment. We will then demolish existing structures and excavate and grade for foundations. Once the barracks on the north site are cleared, we will being procuring materials for the building substructure.

PHASE 2 CONSTRUCTIONAfter site preparation, we will proceed with the actual construction of the CCS building. Activities will overlap if possible to allow multiple non-conflicting subcontractors to operate on different sides of the site. This procedure allows us to efficiently deliver the project within 20 months of construction.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) will be broken into a rough-in period before interior finishes and a finishing period after interior finishes. This 2-step process will protect finished components from being damaged during construction of interior finishes.

Phase 3 may overlap with installation of equipment and furnishings because exterior work generally does not conflict with interior furnishings

PHASE 3 CONSTRUCTIONLandscaping will involve installation of vegetative roof(s), the sculpture courtyard, and construction of hardscapes. We will landscape and pave the south site before moving onto the north site. When concrete is paved on the south site, the building will achieve substantial completion.Final inspections and certifications for the building may occur during the landscaping and paving of the parking lot on the north site to allow occupancy as soon as possible.

POSTCONSTRUCTIONPostconstruction documentation and inspections will occur after sitework on the south site. Our superintendent(s) will coordinate inspections with the city, the university, and with the USGBC (for LEED certification).

DESIGNDesign will be substantially complete before we recieve our notice to proceed with construction during week 64. By this time, construction documents involving subcontractors, bids, bonds, insurance, and permits will be complete, while finalized drawings will be completed after construction begins.

Our proposed schedule represents a conservative project duration of 40 months. This duration includes the entire predesign, design, construction, and postconstruction phases of the project. The entire schedule has been limited to 5-day working weeks, with typical construction hours from 8am-5pm (in consideration of the campus environment). The schedule above represents a breakdown of milestones related to each phase of the project. These tasks closely mirror major components of the project estimate shown in Section 3.8.

We researched activity durations using computer software such as D4 cost and applied knowledge from our own completed projects to develop the proposed schedule for the College of Creative Studies. Schematic designs were presented to the client on April 18th, 2011 and conceptual designs, a narrow-scope estimate, and schedule were presented to the client on May 4th, 2011. Based on their feedback, we made adjustments to our design and construction logistics and reduced the project duration from 28 months to 27 months (construction reduced from 21 months to 20 months).

FIGURE 1: PHASE 1 & 2 CONSTRUCTION SITE FIGURE 2: PHASE 3 CONSTRUCTION SITEGENERAL CONCERNSThis project will be built in the core of campus. Thus, parking will need to remain available for use by adjacent building occupants. Service vehicles will also require access to all adjacent buildings. Dormitories are located to the southwest of the site, so construction will be limited to typical workdays and limited during specific campus holidays and exam days. Equipment will not be started before 8am and will be shut off before 5:30pm. Because of the high volume of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle traffic around the site, special considerations will have to be made to ensure construction does not impede traffic flow or endanger pedestrians.

SITE SECURITY AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETYSite fencing will be installed with dust screens and with proper traffic control and safety signage. Fencing will provide a 20-foot buffer zone between construction and pedestrian walkways. The main gates to both construction areas are marked with “light blue” arrows on the figures. Entrances will be covered with gravel to remove dirt from exiting construction vehicles. Emergency access gates are marked with “red” crosses on both figures. To keep pedestrians out of construction zones, gates will be locked at the end of the workday and a system of security cameras will be installed for further safety and security. Security cameras will feed to university police and to the jobsite trailer.

DELIVERIESMaterial deliveries will be made through Ucen Road to a designated unloading/turn around area within the material laydown zone. Material deliveries shall take place between the hours of 9:30am and 2:30pm to reduce the effect on student traffic during rush hours. From there, materials will be stored at the material laydown area(s) highlighted in “blue” on Figures 1 and 2. Construction traffic will enter and exit via Ucen Road to Lagoon Road (the same path traffic enters). Deliveries of steel, concrete and other large materials will be made with semi-trucks. Further investigation with the university may determine if oversized truckloads are permitted in the area.

PARKING ACCOMODATIONUniversity parking during construction will utilize the existing lot. After Phase 2 of construction is complete, the existing parking lot will be closed to construct the proposed parking lot shown in the highlighted “green” area on Figure 2. The proposed lot will accommodate approximately 120 vehicles. It will only take 2.5 weeks to demolish the existing lot and pave the new lot. During this time, parking will be dispursed by traffic control measures highlighted below. Construction traffic will utilize the parking areas highlighted in “lime green” on Figures 1 and 2. Separating parking lots for traffic and campus use mitigates conflicts regarding access and permission.

TRAFFIC CONTROLWe will begin Phase 1 by placing traffic control signage and barriers. The majority of signs will be posted along the site fence. A project sign will inform traffic entering the campus via Ucen road from Lagoon that construction is in progress and access may be limited during deliveries. When the new parking lot is being constructed during Phase 3, signage will be placed at the intersection of Lagoon and Ucen notifying traffic that parking on the main lot will not be available. Detour signs will direct vehicles to park at lots on nearby lots and on the west side of campus.

JOBSITE REQUIREMENTSThere will be two 10’x32’ office trailers with a 25’x40’ storage dumpster placed at the area highlighted in “white” on both figures. An 8500-watt generator will provide temporary power to the office trailers. Additional, 1500-watt generators will provide power for tools throughout the south site. A mobile crane will be set up near the center of the south site to accommodate building development in Phase 2 of construction.

There will be temporary toilets and hand wash stations on the northern section of the south site. Additional stations will be located throughout the site to fulfill code requirements for the maximum expected construction workers on site (10 toilet stations, 8 wash stations for workers, 2 toilets and 1 wash station for the office).

VERTICAL CONSTRUCTIONOur proposed structure varies from 42’ in height to 56’. Construction will require a 75’-100’ mobile crane and scaffolding. We opted for a mobile crane for the ease of making adjustments and to retain flexibility with the constraints of working on an active college campus. The mobile crane will be stationed primarily on the northern section of the south site.

We recommend scaffolding rather than man-material hoists because of the cost savings from renting hoist equipment. Hoists require specialized installation and are difficult to demobilize and reposition on different parts of the site. Scaffolding will be installed as the building construction progresses upward. Ladders will be located throughout the scaffold system as necessary for emergency exiting and convenience. All decks and scaffolds will be secured with toeboards and guardrails.

Steel will be erected with as many pre-welded components as possible during fabrication and will be bolted on site as necessary. Composite decks will be poured using a hose attached to the boom of the mobile crane and with the help of a 60-foot concrete boom pump. Concrete will be finished with plate compactors.

ALTERNATE PROPOSALIn our previous presentation to Dennis and Bruce at UCSB, they brought up the possible need to keep the three barracks on the north site in service. In this alternate construction scheme, we eliminate all landscape and hardscape work from the north site. Thus, phase 3 will consist of less work, but may require a similar scheduled duration to accomodate site improvements and paving. This scheme also leaves the large parking lot open to the university for the entire duration of the project.

We will adjust the construction site to accommodate material laydown along the north and west sides of the site. The northeast corner of the jobsite will serve as a truck turnaround and entrance/exiting zone. Construction vehicle parking and the jobsite trailer will be located on the parking lot southwest of the CCS. Delivery trucks will use Ucen road from Lagoon road to deliver materials to the north entry gate. The south entry gate will service subcontractor vehicles, the superintendent, and other typical-sized vehicles.

This alternative will save approximately $900,000 from reduced site preparation, less demolition, less roadwork, reduced landscaping, and elimination of the parking lot.
