Budget & Funding W i l l i a m K e r r E d D & D w i g h t K n o u s e A I A L E E D A P

Amount of Space Needed (size of the facility)

x Types of Spaces (determines estimated cost/sq ft)

How the spaces are outfitted, infrastructure

Building Cost

+ Site Development Cost

Facility Construction Cost

+ Furniture & Equipment

+ Professional Services Fees / Other Costs

Total Project Cost

Determining Project Costs

• Make the Most of Your Budget

– Creative design solutions to lower costs

• Design an Efficient Plan / Multi-purpose spaces

– Flexibility, Scheduling Needs

• Identify Options for Phasing /Future Work

– As funding/new partners emerge

• Supply Information Needed for Grant Applications

– RACP, others

Preliminary Goals

• Further Define Types of Spaces Needed

– Ongoing input from group

• Continue to Seek Partnerships

– Additional sources of funding /donations, Tenant-fit out

• Establish Budget for Furniture & Equipment

– Donations from partners

• Explore Revenue Generating Ideas

– Leases, Memberships, Programs, Naming Rights

Next Steps / Consider

• Are there other sites on the campus we should

consider and why?

• What are the advantages /disadvantages of each site?

Next Steps / Consider

Safety & Security D w i g h t K n o u s e A I A L E E D A P

Unique Concerns for this Facility

Many Different Groups in One Facility • Students from 4-18 years old • Administrators and Teachers • Business Partners • Visitors / Customers

Facility Oversight

During School Hours

After-hours Use • Business Partners – secure access to their place of work • Trainings • Lease of Facility Resources

• Secure, separate entrance and outdoor areas for

the PreK SEEDS Program

• Main access area for students during school hours properly supervised with secure vestibule/security measures

• Access for businesses after-hours to their areas of interest; able to lock their portion of the facility

• Zoned for use after-hours by other groups, with portions accessible /others areas locked down

Preliminary Goals

• Will there be an administrator or front office staff located at this facility during school hours?

• How will students, staff, business partners and customers gain access to the Innovation Center?

• Who may need to access the Center outside of the core school hours? For what purposes?

• What types of special security may be required by the business partners?

Sustainability

Why is Sustainability Important?

Sustainability and its Technologies Will Drive the 21st Century

• Water • Food Production • All Other Natural Resources • Resilience • National Security

....and the people who have the solutions

Why is Sustainability Important?

Sustainability and Money

• Design: - Site Selection - Solar orientation - Building envelope shape

• Operations: - Envelope and systems: Lower heating and cooling costs - Daylighting: saves electric costs - Site and water systems: conserve water

Why is Sustainability Important?

Sustainability at a STEM Facility

• During Design Phase: - Students participate in engineering and technology

• During Construction Phase: - Students document and report

• During Operation: - Instruction--Building as a teaching tool - Flexible, for current STEM curriculum and future changes - Daylighting increases student performance and well-being - Supports curriculum for green-collar careers

and Engineering and Math

• Design a High-baseline Sustainable Facility (LEED Equivalent) – Energy Efficient

– Conserves Resources

– Healthful Environment

• Use the Building and Site as Teaching Tools

• Incorporate Simple, High-visibility Green Features

Preliminary Goals

• LEED - Certification? Level?

- Budget Implications

• Business Partners? - Sustainable products,

services and careers

• Educational Partners? - Sustainability research and careers
