t h e p r i N c i pa l Sthe principals of woolley morris architects, RossWoolley and RiCHaRdMoRRis, have built their firm on the large-scale project experience they gained while in the employ of several internationally-recognized firms in New York City and Princeton, including Richard Meier & Partners, FX Fowle, Eisenman Architects, Michael Graves Architects, and The Eggers Group.their previous experience has awarded ross and rick reputations as technically-accomplished project architects with unique abilities to produce world-class designs within the client’s budgetary constraints. their combined professional track record spans numerous award-winning facilities and includes team leadership of over twenty published projects.

RossWoolley leads the design effort on all projects at woolley morris architects, and continues to aspire to the timely execution of design excellence for each assignment. Since the founding of the firm in 1991, his leadership has resulted in the completion of multiple projects; including a variety of housing types, higher education facilities, corporate facilities, hotels, private residences, and K-12 schools. The firm has received design awards for three residence halls, a retirement community, a hotel and an aia award for a private residence all of which were designed under ross’ direct supervision.ross concluded a six-year tenure as senior associate at michael Graves architects in 1990. his duties there consisted of the design leadership and management of several large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments, as well as university buildings and private residences. he has earned the reputation as a strong team leader who blends the demands of quality design work with the demands of project budgets and schedules. this creative problem solving has led to the timely construction of multiple complex structures under his supervision.

RiCKMoRRisdirects the business planning and administration of the firm, and oversees the execution of selected projects. in tandem with ross woolley’s design leadership, Rick functions as Principal-in-Charge for the firm’s more complex projects requiring senior level management, and he also directs the firm’s Quality Assurance program.His stewardship of the strategic plan of the firm has resulted in controlled growth since 1991 in targeted markets, which has enabled the continuation of ‘hands-on management’ by both Principals. Under this approach, Woolley Morris architects has earned the repeat business of notable large client groups in the education, hospitality, and housing sectors.rick accumulated similar project design and management experience during his 13-year tenure in New York City. He ended his position as partner in The Eggers Group, a 65-person firm, to establish Woolley Morris Architects in 1991. His role at eggers consisted of strategic planning and business development for the firm, as well as oversight of design work for long-standing clients. Rick continues his role as a forward- thinking manager and planner, successfully implementing ongoing strategic business planning at woolley morris architects, along with project management duties for selected projects.

the deboni residence | fayetteville, new york

the Deboni residence is a product of a unique client and site. the client came to the design process with several well-formed ideas. these included the use of materials normally seen in an industrial building: exposed concrete and steel, metal roofi ng, high ceilings, and radiant fl oor heating.the site, on top of a tall drumlin, has a steep slope facing west. the house literally arranged itself with a view to the south and west, entry at the east, and garage to the north. levels for living and entertaining eased naturally into the hillside with the ceiling stepping up and the living levels cascading down the hill, opening the view to the sky above and the bases of the trees below. the spaces of public and private are demarcated by a concrete wall which bisects the house and is perforated for circulation, the kitchen and views.Natural light is guided and controlled in the various spaces. The kitchen is illuminated from above with a south facing skylight which is protected by an overhang. the west wall of glass in the living room is protected by a brise-soleil of concrete. the lower playroom uses its position nestled in the trees to achieve a natural solar control. the house turns its back on the harsh north wind, and has small controlled light and views to the north and south. the result is a harmonious collaboration between client, architect and site.Project cost control and maintenance of schedule were attained, not despite the design’s complexity, but largely due to critical design decisions and programming objectives, the result of a close collaboration between the architect and the client. Despite the custom nature of the house’s siting, design detailing and use of materials, this project is relatively modest in its overall size and program. Its total square footage, at 4,750 square feet, is literally a fraction of the size of the residences constructed within adjacent lots of the neighboring residential development. similarly, its relatively modest program and targeted room sizes (living, dining, family room, kitchen/pantry, half bath, offi ce, play room, nursery, master bedroom and bath, two additional bedrooms and two baths), are signifi cantly less than those typically provided for its neighbors. Perhaps most signifi cantly, the unique design and placement of the house within the existing slope of the site resulted in an extremely effi cient use of space, with minimum waste.The project earned a Merit Award in the Residential Category from the Central New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2008.

Chase Design is a consulting firm providing services in product design, packaging, visual communications, marketing, and planning. incorporated in 1970, chase Design has grown steadily to become one of the nation’s leading industrial design firms. The project scope was broken down into three phases. Phase I was to construct a building expansion connected to one of the existing buildings which would be utilized to consolidate departmental work areas, provide a new main entrance & reception area and provide a client conference room. An open office with partitioned work areas was incorporated, with management offices occupying the perimeter. Phase II consisted of an exterior renovation of the current facility, to coincide with the building expansion. the current facility’s exterior consisted of a combination of cedar & metal siding which would be renovated to tie in with the new expansion, with an intention to create a multiple building facility with a campus-type appearance. Lastly, Phase III was the renovation of the current buildings which included the expansion of a connecting walkway that would result in a new employee lunchroom, a redesigned shop layout, a retail store mock-up area, storage area, a dedicated photo studio, and a company meeting room. woolley morris provided full-scope architectural & engineering services, including site layout, construction documents, interior design, landscape design, construction administration services (shop drawing review, jobsite meetings).

alger hall is the third of three identical towers within a larger dormitory complex to be renovated. among the programmatic goals outlined by the campus to be accommodated, in addition to the reworking of dorm rooms and associated bathrooms, were the provision for three-bedroom suites, brighter, more secure basement public spaces (particularly laundry), residence hall director’s and faculty offices and apartments, and added study / conference spaces.Challenges presented to the project included the difficulty of incorporating updated mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems within an existing fifty-year-old concrete structure with extremely low floor-to-floor heights. Added to the project complexity is the campus-driven schedule restriction of completing the entire project, including environmental remediation, demolition and subsequent reconstruction within an eight month time period.By utilizing a shifted grid in the development of the floor plans, a vibrant layering of interior spaces and planes results, enhanced by varied paint colors at walls and finish selections at floors & ceilings. And by opening up a portion of the first floor, a two-story lounge with intercommunicating stair was created, providing greater light, security and a sense of interconnectedness. The addition of required program space was obtained by filling out existing building recesses at basement and first floor levels, and by reworking redundant corridor layouts at typical residential floors for the development of suites.the resulting renovation serves to reposition alger hall as one with a unique design identity within SUNY Cortland’s residential inventory.

these 1960’s dining halls, part of a complex, designed by the renowned architectural firm of skidmore, owings & merrill, consisted of two exterior materials: concrete and a dark bronze aluminum curtain wall. wma’s scope of work was to survey the structure for concrete repairs and to propose a scheme for replacement of the single-pane curtain wall and infill. Using a strategy developed in previous similar assignments in this complex, a lively and bright solution with random patterns and multi-colored glass makes the buildings look as if they were built today.

woolley morris was commissioned by the edgewater companies to develop a master plan for a large site in Rochester, NY, and to develop design concepts for the new Xerox Engineering systems Group.the proposed new building sites will contain mostly manufacturing, research and development, and corporate offices. Individual building sizes range from 40,000 SF to 200,000 SF.The cluster of facilities designated for Xerox contains corporate offices, a research and product development building, a large prototype manufacturing facility, and warehouse. the main activity in the complex was to test existing product lines, and to troubleshoot these products based on data coming from users all over the world.the development activity was oriented around creation of replacement parts that would replace a defective part already in manufacture, or for equipment already in use as part of the warranty support for each individual product line. the prototypical new part would then be subjected to rigorous testing in the facility to insure proper performance, and would be modified accordingly. once it achieved the proper performance criteria, the part would go into a pilot manufacturing process to sort the most efficient manufacturing techniques in the factory.only after passing this test would the part be put into full production.

The NYS Education Department’s Office of Cultural Education (OCE) operates three major cultural institutions -- the NYS Museum, the state library and the state archives. Under the auspices of oce, all three institutions are dedicated to ensuring that valuable information, knowledge and collections under their care are preserved and made available for current and future generations.

In 2003, the OCE developed a Long-Term Facility Plan which projected future space needs for all three institutions 10-year and 25-year timelines. OCE requested the NYS Dormitory Authority (DASNY) to commission a study to examine in more detail the requirements that a new facility would entail, develop concept designs, develop an engineering systems design and conduct a site search. DASNY & OCE retained a consultant team headed by woolley morris architects.

• the urgency of the space need has prompted a revision of the projected needs to a 5-year and 15-year timeline.

• the 5-year space projection is 593,694 gross feet.

• opportunities to streamline the operations of all three institutions have been identified.

• the use of Green Building features offer substantial energy savings, resulting in a payback period of 8-10 years. The new facility will be leeD® certified.

• Significant portions of the storage areas have been designed for compact storage

-- while necessitating a larger equipment purchase, it requires less space and reduces the operating costs of the building substantially.

sUsTaiNaBledesiGNFeaTURes

the new facility will be designed around four main ‘green building’ features:

• Geothermal Ground-Sourced HVAC System. The system utilizes ground water for cooling in lieu of cooling towers. the net effect is substantial energy savings, reduction of heat release into the atmosphere, and reduction of water usage.

• Subterranean Building Construction. all of the sites under consideration have sufficient slope to permit the construction of the building substantially below grade. By utilizing the soil temperature as a natural cooling source and reducing heat loss/gain through and above-ground wall, heating and cooling loads are significantly reduced.

• Green Roofs Utilizing a Sedum Cover. the system being proposed for the new facility uses a standard roof membrane with a covering of sedum plant material. the design reduces roof run-off, protects the membrane from UV degradation, and is highly energy efficient.

• Daylighting in Selected Areas. in the office and lab areas, a clerestory light monitor is designed to reflect sunlight into interior spaces. this reduces the demand for artificial lighting during the daytime hours.

this project was a feasibility study that, upon completion, provided a preliminary architectural design, giving physical form to the mission of LORCO. The design emphasized prominent visual access and closely connected the collaborative research activities that would take place inside. The goals of the project were as follows;• create a preliminary architectural design consisting of alterations to snygg hall and a new

addition. the new facility will be prominently sited on the north side of snygg adjacent to the main pedestrian circulation spine currently under development, and will possess extensive areas of glass walls to emphasize the closely connected and collaborative research activities taking place inside.

• establish a project budget based on a building design concept and a facility program.• identify potential additional sources of grant funding and initiate pursuit of available funding.• establish parameters for the technology infrastructure and data storage capabilities, which

will be fundamental to the collaborative large area research goals of the Great lakes research consortium.

In 1979, Coca-Cola magnate Robert W. Woodruff offered a $7.5 million challenge grant for a new facility that would triple the High Museum of Art’s space to 135,000 square feet. After raising $20 million, the High Museum of Art opened its new Richard Meier designed home in 1983. Among its many awards, the american institute of architects deemed the meier design one of the “ten best works of American architecture in the 1980s.”the stunning, porcelain-enameled building is the ideal setting for the high museum of art’s collection of over 11,000 pieces of art. a towering atrium soars to four interior levels, with the galleries moving from 18th and 19th-century collections near the ground floor to the cutting edge of contemporary art on the upper levels.

The Wexner Center’s building was designed by architects Peter Eisenman of New York and the late Richard Trott of Columbus with landscape architect Laurie Olin of Philadelphia.The Wexner Center was the first major public building to be designed by Eisenman, previously known primarily as a teacher and theorist. he has gone on to design and build a number of other major projects including the Greater columbus convention center.the design includes a large, white metal grid meant to suggest scaffolding, to give the building a sense of incompleteness in tune with the architect’s deconstructivist tastes. eisenman also took note of the mismatched street grids of the osU campus and the city of columbus, which vary by 12.25 degrees, and designed the Wexner Center to alternate which grids it followed. The result was a building of sometimes questionable functionality, but admitted architectural interest.Included in the Wexner Center space are a film and video theater, a performance space, a film and video post production studio, a bookstore, café, and 12,000 square feet of galleries, art instruction studios, lecture rooms, and faculty offices.

History and Objectives The firm of AltieriSeborWieber Consulting Engineers has provided engineering services to major clients on demanding projects throughout the United States and abroad since July 1, 1959.

We have engineered systems for special buildings including educational institutions, art museums, libraries, theaters, aquariums, research laboratories and manufacturing plants. We have also provided services for office buildings, luxury residences, and many landmark buildings. Sensitivity to client requirements and our ability to conceive creative solutions has resulted in the firm being retained by many internationally recognized architects, including nine recipients of the Pritzker Prize.

We continue the policy of our founder, John L. Altieri, P.E., that a principal of the firm shall be involved in all of the major design decisions on the project and to be the primary client contact. We conduct in-house programs of design and constructability reviews to foster coordinated production of drawings and specifications. We continue to strive to develop design concepts that provide first cost economy, consider energy costs, and are sensitive to maintenance and life cycle cost. “Green Design” is a consistent standard of our firm and ASW is proud to be a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The firm strives for excellence in the design of responsible energy distribution and the control systems that manage them. We are also proud of our many innovative mechanical and electrical design solutions and their contribution to the overall quality of the architecture. It is the successful execution of these goals that distinguishes AltieriSeborWieber Consulting Engineers from other firms.

Buck Center for Research on Aging Marin County, CA Mechanical and Electrical Engineers Completion Date: 1999 (Phase I) Architects: Pei Cobb Freed & Partners

Area: 165,000 s/f (Phase I) 355,000 s/f (Total)

This campus research center will ultimately consist of five linked buildings around a one-acre hexagonal courtyard. The project program included research laboratories, animal holding pens, offices, and educational facilities for research on human aging. This facility is served by redundant HVAC systems, which control temperatures, indoor relative humidity, and filters and manages the flow of supply air to each space. A central control system manages the numerous exhaust systems to protect against cross contamination from space to space. This is accomplished through pressurization controls, which maintain the appropriate indoor air pressure of each space.

The first phase, completed in 1999, included the administration building and the first of three research modules. A new central heating/cooling plant for the overall complex is located in the administration building. The plant employed three electric centrifugal chillers with a first phase capacity of 750 tons. The chillers were specified with non-CFC or HCFC type refrigerants.

The central plant contains the chillers, boilers, cooling towers, and emergency and standby electric generators.

The heating boilers are of the firetube type generating low-pressure steam, which is distributed around the campus. In addition, a battery of high pressure steam boilers of special construction were provided to produce process “clean” steam for use in sterilization equipment, autoclaves, specialty laboratory equipment, and for space humidification.

Montclair State University – Chapin HallJohn J. Cali School of MusicMontclair, NJMechanical and Electrical EngineersCompletion Date: 2009Architects: Hillier Architecture

Chapin Hall is a five-story circa 1908 building that houses the John J. Cali School of Music. The entire existing29,000 gross square feet was renovated to bring systems and architecture to current standards and Codes, withspecial attention paid to acoustic issues associated with the University’s Music Program.

An additional 23,000 gross square feet was also added to Chapin Hall in order to meet current programmaticrequirements of the Department of Music. Both Chapin Hall and the addition were to be compatible with theexisting fabric of the campus and the Spanish Mission Style of many of its buildings.

The facility included state of the art teaching laboratories, rehearsal and practice halls, studios, and a musictherapy suite. The expansion also included the construction of the 250-seat Jed Leshowitz Recital Hall, tocomplement the existing Alexander Kasser Theater.

Heating systems are served by the existing campus steam distribution system. Chilled water is provided by anew 150 ton screw chiller. Five custom air handling units designed for low-velocity air distribution andequipped with humidification systems serve new and renovated areas. New practice rooms are served byindividual four-pipe fan coil units which both satisfy space temperature requirements as well as provide acousticisolation (“white noise”). A separate central air system is also used to provide ventilation air to each of thepractice rooms.

The campus electrical distribution infrastructure also had to be modified to accommodate the addition, whoseconstruction interfered with the existing medium voltage underground cable and pad-mounted switchingsystems. Medium voltage ductbanks were rerouted and equipment relocated in a manner to minimize power“down-time” to other areas of campus.

Montclair State University – Alexander Kasser Theater Montclair, NJ Mechanical and Electrical Engineers Completion Date: 2004 Architects: Hillier Architecture The new 46,000 square foot Montclair University Theater Complex has recently completed construction. The new complex contains a main stage, side stages, and seating for 500 people. The theater serves as a multi-purpose complex for musical, theatrical, dance and theatre performances. The building is served from a central campus high-pressure steam plant and central chilled water system. Inside the building, secondary chilled and hot water systems provide cooling and heating. Air handling systems which serve the rehearsal and performance areas are able to achieve NC 15; the related duct system operates at very low velocity and is free of noise generating accessories such as turning vanes or volume dampers. The large theater is served by a displacement-style cooling system, which places mild temperature air into the space at the floor level. This reduces the overall peak cooling load by stratifying much of the heating load generated by the theatrical lighting system near the ceiling of the theater. A central campus emergency power grid serves life-safety equipment such as emergency egress lighting and alarm systems, as well as standby loads such as elevators and minimal HVAC to maintain building heating systems during a utility power outage.

About Thornton Tomasetti

North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System Energy Center New Hyde Park, NY

Houston Telecom Exchange Houston, TX

Novartis Oncology Consolidation Center Building Three East Hanover, NJ

Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Farm Research Campus Ashburn, VA

Thornton Tomasetti is a leader in engineering design, investigation and analysis serving clients worldwide on projects of all sizes and complexity. With practices in building structure, building skin, building performance, building sustainability, construction support services and property loss consulting, Thornton Tomasetti addresses the full life cycle of a structure.

We have supported clients working in more than 50 countries, with projects that include the tallest buildings and longest spans to the restoration of prized historic properties. Founded in 1956, today Thornton Tomasetti is a 700-person organization of engineers and architects collaborating from offices across the United States and in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.

Building Structure: Our team of specialists designs structural frames for buildings of all types and sizes at locales throughout the world. We apply both traditional and cutting-edge building materials and structural systems, and consider both indigenous and newly introduced construction methods. The challenge and level of mental flexibility involved with working in such a diverse practice provides professional excitement that translates into special project designs.

Construction Services: Thornton Tomasetti’s construction support services address a wide range of needs to efficiently move a project from concept to delivery, serving developers, construction managers, fabricators, erectors, and general and specialty contractors.

Building Skin: Our diversified team of specialists assists in engineering of innovative, constructible, cost-effective building skin solutions ranging from traditional curtain walls to the use of structural glass. Our holistic and sustainable approach includes detailed design, tender appraisal, value engineering, contractor design review and installation monitoring.

Building Performance: Our multidisciplinary professionals offer expertise throughout a building’s life cycle. We provide technical support and quality reviews from testing, fabrication, and erection to construction completion. We recommend maintenance regimes, and guide the owner through expansions, adaptive reuses, rehabilitations and repairs, and provide expert witness representation.

Building Sustainability: Sustainability is essential in the way we design, build, and operate our buildings. Our sustainability practice is tasked with finding projects, clients and design teams who are seeking sustainable innovation. Through collaboration, we use whole-systems thinking to achieve the right balance on every project between the economic, social, and environmental factors.

Property Loss Consulting: Our engineering staff specializes in investigative engineering and architectural and construction material evaluation, providing us with extensive experience to assist attorneys and insurance companies with claims evaluations. Our scientific investigation provides our clients with a thorough assessment of damage, as well as a professional analysis of causation that can be used for retrofit, repair, claims adjustment or litigation.

Building Information Modeling

The virtual representation of a structure using a 3D building information model (BIM) is becoming the standard in building design and the construction industry. At Thornton Tomasetti, we integrate 3D modeling into our design and analysis work, a technique that enhances collaboration and streamlines work flow.

BIMs are virtual representations of buildings that contain many layers of pertinent data and have multiple uses including coordination, scheduling, quantities, and life-cycle management. The benefits of BIM include improved efficiency, better design team coordination, enhanced client communications, interoperability with analysis models, and greater design flexibility. These benefits translate into higher design quality, decreased design cycle time, and fewer coordination problems in the field.

Virtual models contain actual member sizes and intelligent parametric objects, interdisciplinary coordination and are easy to check with available features such as clash detection and monitoring tools. Structural Information Modeling (SIM) is tailored for structural work. Our models contain pure structural information that is vital to our design and analytical needs as well as the needs of fabricators and contractors.

Thornton Tomasetti has been applying 3D integrated modeling methods for more than 18 years and has refined systems and customized processes to optimize, automate and share models efficiently with clients, design team partners and contractors. In September 2007, Thornton Tomasetti received a Revit BIM Experience Award for Collaborative Use of Building Information Modeling from Autodesk.

Renderings and Animations: Our ability take advantage of BIM and create 3D images and renderings, which can be pulled from the BIM at anytime to help to clearly communicate design issues and are inherently more understandable than 2D drawings. Animations and fly-throughs can be created quickly and frequently with a model and by using our in-house “render farm” to help explain complex concepts. Simple to use “web viewers” version BIMs can be created at anytime to allow those not trained in BIM to easily fly through the models and examine progress. If a picture is worth a thousand words then an animation is exponentially more valuable.

Interoperability and Automation: Thornton Tomasetti understands the current state of the industry and the lack of true intelligent interoperability. Our firm has grown an advanced automation division to write our own custom in-house translators and interoperability scripts, as needed, to assist the design team create more efficient work flow.

Thornton Tomasetti writes customized in-house translators and interoperability scripts using API (application programming interface) to share intelligent BIM information with other software programs, including REVIT, Tekla, AutoCAD, Catia, SAP, ETABS, Rhino, and numerous other applications. Our automation staff can quickly write customized translators for job specific problems and increase speed and production of any process. In addition, we continue to work with many software vendors to help them develop improved software to better suit the industries’ ever changing needs.

Integraated MModeling Servvices

Thornton Toomasetti prov ides detailingg services for steel, cast-in-place concrete an d precast. Teekla is the preeferred softwaare for detailinng services, which goes beyond REV IT or other BIIM software aand generatess the information specifically reequired by coontractors andd fabricators.

With Thorntoon Tomasetti ’s custom in-house translaators, a Teklaa model may be converte d to or from RREVIT or any y other 3D sofftware. Thesee translators bring a pow erful benefit –– allowing thee right tool to be used for eeach job at each phase .

Steel DetaailingFor steel proojects, Thorntton Tomasettti can design the steel con nections, a particular beenefit in iconicc facilities wh here connectioons can oftenn be complex and exposedd to view. Thiis allows the cconnections tto be discuss ed with the architect, cooordinated witth the design team and co mpletely definned for accurate biddding by speccialty contracttors. The detaailing models are typically completed inn three phasees.

Phase I: 3DD Model of SSteel Membeers (Material Order Moddel) All main struuctural steel framing membbers such as columns, beaams, and trusses are input into a TTekla Structurres 3D model . Members arre entered with the corrrect size, corrrect orientatioon, and correcct material prooperties (such as yieeld strength annd mill test reequirements).

The comple ted Phase I TTekla model ccan be used bby the contracctor and steelfabricator too quickly prog ress their Advvanced Bill off Materials (AABM) for the purchase off structural steeel shapes. UUnlike many firm’s BIM moddels, Thornton Toomasetti Teklaa models are a useable deeliverable. Th is is a tremendouss improvemennt over the traaditional proceess and eliminnates the re-creation or vverification off the model byy the contracttor. The contrractor can useethe model foor constructio on scheduling , sequencing , cash flow annalysis and tracking pro cesses. The Phase I modeel will reduce quantity takee-off time during biddi ng, provide foor accurate mmaterial and laabor estimate s through improved vissualization, aand also reducce time from aaward to material order.

Phase II: 3D Model of Steel Conneections (Connnected Moddel)Depending oon the projectt, Thornton TTomasetti will model either all structural steel connecctions or moddel the major steel connecttions of the mmain structura lmembers in 3D model. CConnections wwill include all holes, bolts, shop welds, weld preparrations, and a all connection material suchh as base plaates, cap plates, gusssets, stiffenerss, splice platees, shear plat es and conneection angles..

The comple ted Phase II TTekla model ccan be used by the contraactors and steel fabricaator to quicklyy obtain CNC downloads (tto link with fabbrication equipment), field bolt listss, connectionn material quaantity take-offss, and begin to create sh op drawings. The Phase I I Tekla mode el also clearly defines scope and ccomplexity ressulting in a sttreamlined sh op drawing ppreparation and approvaal process, whhich can signnificantly redu ce project schhedule and potential forr claims as a rresult of lack of understandding of true c omplexity.

Integratedd Modeling Services Page 2 of 2

Thornton Toomasetti will pprovide assisttance to the faabricator’s deetailerregarding thhe implementaation of the coompleted 3D model.

Phase III: 33D Model of Fully Detailed Steel (Shhop Drawinggs)Thornton Toomasetti has tthe skill, knowwledge and experienced sx ttaff to provideeand producee a fully detailed structural steel model, producing th e final physical shoop drawings ( (shop piece a nd assembly drawings), e rection plans,,erection dettails, field boltt lists, and CNNC downloadss for the projeect. The fabricator annd the erectorr can directly use this inforrmation withoout additional efforts to fabbricate and errect the structtural steel. Thhe project schhedule benefits fromm utilizing thiss streamlined d shop drawin g production and approva lapproach.

Precast DeetailingThornton Toomasetti can pproduce a 3DD model of preecast units in Tekla, for use by contrractors. The pprecast contraactor can be confident in t he accuracy of the modeel, allowing theem to quicklyy begin addingg reinforcemeent and createeshop drawinngs. This moddel can also bbe used for quuantity take-o ffs, tracking, scheduling aand coordinattion. In additioon, the steel ffabricator cann use the precast moddel for coordinnation with steeel for items such as bearring plate locations annd coordinatioon with steel cconnections.

Schedule BenefitsConsiderablle time savinggs and sched ule reduction can be achieeved by usingga Tekla moddel with steel, , cast-in-placee concrete, annd/or precast t. With a Phase I steeel member moodel the Advaanced Bill of MMaterials is reeady for the contractor aand the prepa ration time foor bidding andd completing tthe ABM is significantly reduced. Eveen greater timme savings arre achievable when using aaPhase II steeel model andd precast moddel. Since the connection mmodeling occurs durinng the design phase, pullinng this scope of work forwaard can reduce the sschedule threee to nine monnths and givees the design team the added beneefit of coordinaating around tthe actual connnections.

Improved Scope Definition (Scope Pricing Benefits) When usingg a Tekla moddel with steel members, coonnections, caast-in-place concrete, annd/or precast modeled acccurately, the ccontractor’s sccope is shown muchh clearer and can be undeerstood much faster, a signnificantimprovemennt over 2D draawings. The ccontractor cann pull accuratte quantities and understtand the scoppe of the projeect much quiccker, improvinng the time forbidding and reducing riskk associated wwith misunde rstood 2D draawings.

Enhanced Definition of ComplexxityComplexity is better showwn when usinng a Tekla moodel. The con tractor has the ability too see in 3D, thhe complexityy of member ggeometry, connnections anddthe interfacee between traades, and cann use the moddel to see variousdisciplines’ sscopes simulttaneously. Thhis helps to elliminate muchh of the risk oofclaims baseed on misinterrpretations of drawings or llack of detail.

Thornton Tomasetti provided complete structural design services for a new research center constructed in two phases. Project scope required a unique state-of-the-art structural system to address strict vibration requirements while simultaneously providing the ability for re-adaptable space. The floor plans are based on square modules each roughly 121 feet by 121 feet (37 meters by 37 meters) that satisfy criteria such as comfortable walking distances and visual perception of space. Our design is both efficient and economical and fosters a smooth interaction between structural, architectural, and MEP elements.

This new facility houses investigators from several institutes, organized by research theme rather than by institute, to foster collaboration and facilitate parallel research. The building itself is designed to promote communication and interaction, featuring a five-story glass atrium with numerous spaces for researchers to meet and gather. The facility also includes 210,000 square feet of bench laboratory, lab support and lab office space, vivarium, 400-seat auditorium, meeting rooms, a cafeteria, and a supply store.

LEED Certification LEED Platinum

Thornton Tomasetti was retained to provide structural engineering services for a 250,000-square-foot Phase II expansion. Tripiling the facility’s size, the scope included a second building located downhill from the first, which replicates its design strategy on a larger scale and with a reversed orientation. The facing curtain walls define an open courtyard.

The steel superstructure framing was designed to limit vibration appropriate for lab spaces. The unique design features include the setback curved glazed roofs, a 140-foot-long four-story glazed wall in the café area overlooking the adjacent Crescent Park, and the above-grade six-story executive conference house supported by two 90-foot-long inclined columns.

Underpinning was required for the hill site on the existing building for more than two levels. Special anchors were used during excavation so the sandy ground below would not give way. This was performed without disturbing research taking place in the existing laboratory.

The building comprises full basement housing, a parking garage and mechanical plant for the building services in addition to huge storage tanks used for storing storm water and earning LEED points. Green roofs and photovoltaic units were also installed on building roof to earn rating points.

Safety reviews are not just a means of complying with OSHA’s process Safety Management (pSM)

standards, but also a mechanism to provide a safe workplace for employees and visitors, and to

prevent accidents which can impact surrounding communities or the environment. CRB provides

pSM services including field verifying p&IDs and facilitating and documenting process Hazard

Analysis (pHAs): HAZOps, “What-if” scenarios, and other forms of safety reviews.

CRB has been providing designs to protect the operators, the product, the facilities, and healthcare workers from highly hazardous and potent compounds for over 15 years. CRB engineers are specialists with potent compounds and have unique backgrounds in process design, operations, and process safety.

Consistent with current industry and ISPE trends, CRB uses a risk based approach to assess the containment needs for each process step. The risk based approach is based upon the amount of the material present, the physical state and properties of the material, the unit operation being performed, and the health hazard of the material. These considerations allow the owner to weigh the risks associated with each process step and make containment design decisions based on the relative hazard of that operation. This scientific approach provides a safe operation, and since containment decisions are made based on the physical needs of the process, it saves money at the end of the day.

Offering consulting services for the safety of patients and people from exposure,

contamination and cross-contamination of hazardous compounds.

Experience with the Following Containment Applications

Emerging Combination Drug/Medical Device products now being developed require a new approach to process and facility design. Guidance from the newly formed FDA Office of Combination Products, as well as CDRH, CBER and CDER now govern product and facility design from the earliest stages of development through product approval, launch and routine manufacturing.

Planning and Design

Adding to current combination product regulatory challenges are the new high potency pharmaceutical compounds typically in use that require specialized containment systems and processing strategies. Design of new clean rooms must take into account current and future potent chemical compounds and cleaning chemicals, as well as how equipment will be operated and maintained. From R&D labs and pilot plants to full scale facilities, potent pharmaceutical compound processing suites require integrated planning and design. For the downstream low temperature sterilization processes (ethylene oxide, electron beam or gamma radiation) often required for Medical Device or Drug Device sterilization, the overall integration of process equipment with facility HVAC and clean utility systems is critical. CRB can advise and lead your project team in meeting special clean room requirements. A reliable upstream process with well-engineered systems and appropriate redundancies will make the final product sterilization process more robust and your process yields higher.

CRB has experience in these emerging combination technologies and can lead your design and process development effort. Our goal is to provide you with the specialized expertise now needed for combination products equipment and facilities.

New Sterile Device Facility Size: 120,000 sq. ft. Construction Cost: $33,000,000

EXPERIENCE

The project is one of the first ever medical device manufacturing facilities to be certified under the US Green Building Council’s LEED® rating system.

The team focused on strategies that have a large impact on carbon emissions associated with the project. Transportation strategies played a large part in the process.

The building site was selected to be as close as possible to the maximum number of existing and potential employees, reducing the commuting distance as much as possible. The project is sited near areas zoned and planned for development of residential areas, which will allow future employees to bicycle or carpool to work. Provisions were made to encourage these alternative transit methods, to reduce the carbon impact of commuter transportation. The team also recognized that energy generation and transmission, as well as water treatment and distribution accounts for a significant percentage of any building’s carbon footprint. Strategies to reduce energy and water use were pursued vigorously.

The project team analyzed the different ways that water could be conserved by benchmarking similar projects, and endeavored to reduce water use in each of these ways:

The building sanitary system was designed to reduce water use significantly, by using low-flow fixtures throughout, more than a third less water than a typical building. By replacing the clean room hand wash stations with waterless-sanitizing stations, the project saved an additional 85,000 gallons per year. Together, the process water and the sanitary water systems save over 450,000 gallons per year, nearly 44% below the standards for a conventional building.

ABBOTT VASCULARTemecula, California

The scope of this project consists of a 35,000 sq. ft. expansion of this medical device manufacturer. CRB performed design of new R&D laboratory space for the 5th floor of Building F on the Temecula East Campus. The laboratory program serves the Analytical Chemistry group necessary to support the emerging growth of the Drug Eluting Stints (DES) marketplace. The project was built under the requirements of the California Building Code’s “L Occupancy” requirements. The lab space consists of 7 separate laboratories, including 18 Fume Hoods, 120 High Pressure Liquid Chromatography Machines, 126 Release Rate Testers, 92 Gas Chromatographs and 21 Ultrasonicators.

Systems designed to support the lab build-out were a VAV supply and an exhaust air system for the laboratory space, VAV supply and return air system for the office spaces, a UPS system, RO/DI (ASTM Type III) water system to serve glass wash and lab areas with localized MilliQ drops (ASTM Type I). The scope of work also includes lab compressed gasses (compressed air, nitrogen, hydrogen), and an emergency generator. The HVAC system consists of two (2) Air Handlers and 18 Chemical Fume Hoods exhausted through strobic style fans. All HVAC load calculations the emergency generator is required by the 2007 Building Code to serve exhaust air system for the laboratories, and optionally equipment within the laboratories, per the ‘L’ Occupancy, H8 Lab designation for the project.

The Core and Shell within which this project is located has been designed by CRB as a separate project. The new campus is comprised of two complementary five-story buildings joined by a lobby building within a 27-acre campus located in Temecula, California. These buildings encompass approximately 435,000 sq. ft.

The main buildings are designed to exceed California Title 24 energy conservation requirements. The local utility company provided incentives to the client for exceeding these requirements. The design consists of variable air volume systems with air handling units located on the roof of each building. The units are interconnected via ductwork on each floor. As the heat gain for the building shifts from east to west during the day, the units automatically compensate by sharing load responsibilities.

The central plant generates both chilled water and heating hot water for conditioning the buildings. The water systems are distributed to the buildings via direct buried, insulated piping. The chilled water system consists of two 2,000-ton chillers with variable speed drives and variable primary-only pumps. In lieu of a traditional primary-secondary pumping system, CRB saved both first costs and operating costs by eliminating the secondary pumps. The cooling tower water system is also an all variable system with variable speed fans and pumps. The entire system is optimized to find the most efficient operating point of the system rather than the most efficient operating point of the equipment.

CRB’s design scope of work for this project includes, at the onset, the evaluation of and recommendations on retrofitting the existing HVAC system serving the laboratory areas of the building to reduce the energy cost associated with these 100% outside air systems. Although the initial focus outlined by the university concentrated on only the conversion of these systems from constant volume to variable volume, CRB worked with university energy engineers, project managers and users to identify a long list of possible energy conservation measures. These measures included physical spatial adjustments, advanced fume hood controls (proximity sensing), variable airflow, and variable reheat hot water flow. Overlaying these energy-saving measures were modifications to the building control system and the inclusion of an active air monitoring system also being investigated.

CRB’s direct scope of work included the mechanical modeling and design associated with the evaluation phase along with any supporting electrical, plumbing and architectural scope. CRB has currently completed the modeling and evaluation phase of the project and is looking to transition to the detailed design of selected alternatives in 1Q 2012.

CASEY SMITH -- The objectives of Phase I of the project are twofold; first, to convert the current occupancy of the two lower floors of the building to a primarily residential function and providing additional bedrooms and necessary support spaces. Second, the two existing exterior stairs are to be removed, with revised ground floor entries and related site work as required.

SHEA HALL -- Woolley Morris was given the assignment of creating a more open and contemporary interior, modernizing the common spaces such as lounges, the shared toilet rooms, and study areas. In addition, the grade change of one half of a story had to be accommodated in the lobby from one side of the building to the other allowing controlled access.

CHENEY HALL -- The scope of services include design, construction document preparation, bidding and construction administration for the selective reconfiguration of interior spaces and replacement of interior finishes, including entries, lounges, studies and laundries, kitchens, public bathrooms, office, RHD apartment, storage, and trash/recycling rooms.

MILLER ADMINISTRATION BUILDING - SUNY CORTLAND

EXTERIOR PROJECTFaced with chronic leakage through an exterior plaza deck and foundation, SUNY Cortland funded a waterproofing repair project.

In spite of the inflexible connection between the funding process and the definition of the scope of work, WMA surfaced 2 other problems not addressed by the original project. The occupants of the basement level and the second floor (above and below the plaza deck) were experiencing chronic physical discomfort due to the inadequate insulation of the floor surfaces exposed to the elements.

In addition, the administration was in the early phases of redefining the student services functions: Bursar, Financial Aid, and Enrollment, into a more visible and accessible department. No space was available for this function.

The new enclosed space solved all 3 problems with no additional expense above the original budget allocation. In effect, all 3 projects were accomplished in one assignment.

INTERIOR PROJECTThe project scope also encompassed the gut renovation of the upper administration’s floor. Programmatic elements included offices, board room, conference facilities, toilets and teaching/training room. Woolley Morris was responsible for the redesign

of the entire floor in a way that would allow ease of use, better organization, and improved function.

Woolley Morris conducted a study of 10 residence halls at SUNY Oswego, examining the condition of the exterior walls, roofs, windows, elevators on selected buildings, fire alarm systems, and the extent of related asbestos abatement, and recommended the extent and type of repair and/or replacement of components in a cost effective manner, optimizing the life of each system. The study found that all ten building facades require rehabilitation and maintenance, to some extent due to deterioration of masonry cladding, and the absence of interior wall insulation.

In 2010, Onondaga & Seneca Halls were completed. Two more residence halls, Cayuga & Oneida are currently slated to begin construction late spring 2011.

• The systems assessed and evaluated as part of the master plan included the main services and site distribution (power, steam, water, etc.), building services, building distribution (steam, air, water (domestic, heating hot water, chilled water, etc.), lighting, power, emergency power systems, fire alarm and security systems, etc.

DETAILED PLANNING STUDY - SUNY ESF

The newly appointed Upstate Medical University President, Dr. David Smith, desired to improve the Campus’ street-side appearance from East Adams Street continuing to Elizabeth Blackwell Street and Irving Avenue. Several major events were coming to the Campus, including the arrival of new students in mid-August 2007, prompting a fast-track design and installation. RAM-TECH was authorized to engineer the placement, quantity, power requirements and controls of new pedestrian pole lighting systems selected by the Campus. In an effort to expedite installation, it was recommended that SUNY pre-purchase the poles that were manufactured in California. The project kicked off in late May as a fast-track project to be completed prior to students’ Fall arrival to Campus. The project ran smoothly and the project was completed on time and under budget.

SUNY GENESEO DORMITORY (DASNY)

Fisher Associates provided subconsultant professional services as part of an

Architectural/Engineering term agreement with the Dormitory Authority of the State of

New York (DASNY). Our engineering and surveying services were provided to conduct

the geotechnical investigation and foundation design for a four-story, approximately

26,000 square foot dormitory, on a vacant and undeveloped piece of campus. The

brick-faced, steel framed building will be slab-on-grade construction with the slab

established to allow at grade access. Fisher Associates arranged for and monitored

the subsurface exploration program that included borings and monitoring wells,

conducted geotechnical engineering analyses, and prepared a summary report. The summary report also addressed

potential earthwork construction issues such as excavation support, dewatering, and backfill.

The North Campus of University at Buffalo requires rehabilitation to underground utilities (storm sewer, sanitary sewer and

water main) in order to reduce deferred critical maintenance backlog, to prevent increased costs associated with further

deterioration, and to improve reliability of all systems. Currently, Fisher Associates is conducting an evaluation of existing

underground utilities. The study may result in recommendation of lining the pipes or replacing them. There is approximately

130,000 LF of storm drainage pipes and culverts, approximately 106,000 LF of domestic water piping, and approximately

108,000 LF of sanitary sewer piping for the University at Buffalo. Additionally, a significant amount of the existing natural gas

piping is in poor condition due to the lack of cathodic protection. There is approximately 54,000 LF of gas piping throughout

the entire campus. Fisher Associates is also conducting all the survey related to this project.

Associates completed a design for a new multi-phase

apartment neighborhood that consist of 8 housing buildings

and a community center. The first phase of this project included

relocation of several athletic fields to the western end of the

campus, so that the apartments could be constructed in an

area more central to the campus. The athletic field relocation

phase of the project was successfully completed during the fall

of 2005 and construction of the 208 bed apartment complex is

currently under construction. Subsequent phases include expansion of the apartment complex to 400 beds.

Fisher Associates was responsible for geotechnical investigations; environmental studies; site design, water

and sewer service design; gas main layout, storm water management and pollution prevention control; and

landscape design.

The $27.5M Academic Research Building (ARB) project involves the design and construction of a new 101,000 gross square feet research building to house the department of Environmental and Forest Biology. The site for the ARB is approximately 72,000 square feet (sf) or 1.7 acres. Our role involved geotechnical investigations and surveying services. Geotechnical services including test borings and the installation of groundwater observation wells. We utilized this data to provide an understanding of the existing subsurface conditions of the site and developed structural foundation design criteria and earthwork recommendations. Surveying services included topographic, boundary and utility survey . We also managed and coordinated with a subsurface utility engineer for Quality Level B Utility Designations prior to field survey.
