Terry McCormick
My goal as an architect is continual development as a design and technical leader, always maintaining an awareness of the personal, social, and sustainable needs of the public in the built environment. I believe architecture carries the privilege and the burden of serving all sectors of society by providing functional space that is safe, beautiful, and does not harm the environment. My job is to serve all of these sectors and improve the lives of others.
Each architectural design has unique challenges and must respond to specific attributes of the client’s culture, financial goals, and most importantly, the environmental factors of the site and daylight. No one solution will work for all building typologies or series of similar conditions.
Design technology has changed the face of the architecture and construction industry. I believe that the same database of information used to conceive a building concept can also be used to create construction documents, coordinate building systems, estimate project costs, and reduce problems in the field during construction. I have implemented BIM systems in design and construction projects for the past five years at EHDD in San Francisco. I love designing and detailing in a 3D model because of the visual and technical benefits it affords my projects.
The technical details of building projects tell the true story of the conceptual design of the architecture. Buildable, efficient details that are creative and water tight are essential to the success of any project. Elegant details lead to good design and are critical to sustainable architecture.

PACKARD FOUNDATIONNational Headquarters343 Second Street Los Altos CA
Packard goes for Net Zero EnergyThe office building for the Packard Foundation will use PV panels, solar thermal water heaters, a high performance envelope, low plug loads, and chilled beam technology to achieve a Net Zero energy building that sets an example for the community.
Along with the high tech office design, the design team and foundation staff have worked together to reduce staff car use, electricity use by staff, and have reduced the amount of paper used by the entire staff.
Project Title:
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation - 343 Second Street
Location:
Los Altos, California
Size:
49,000 SF New Construction
Cost:
$38 Million
Date:
Spring 2012
Description:
The Packard Foundation office building is the first of its size in the US to plan for Net Zero Energy use. A fully integrated design strategy that included the foundation staff, architects, engineering consultants, and contractor was required to achieve this goal. Using a thermally tight envelope, solar PV panels, and low energy systems, the foundation will achieve a 65% reduction in energy use from the current office building base line energy model.
My role on the design team was project architect for the building exterior and BIM coordinator. The lateral structural system is a Buckling Restrained Braced Frame. A high level of 3D BIM detailing and coordination was required for both the MEP systems and low air infiltration skin systems.

MBA Sets Bar for World Class ExhibitThe original Outer Bay Wing (OBW) of the Monterey Bay Aquarium housed the world’s first open ocean shark tank with over 1 million gallons of sea water.
The shark mountain exhibit had planned to attract visitors from across the globe with two new shark exhibits, the world’s largest eel tank, and an upgrade to their world class aquarium.
The shark tank design was the first plan to use complex curves in acrylic to allow visitors to walk under a tank while standing next to it.

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital
CENTER FOR ADVANCED CAREParkridge Illinois
ALGH Cancer Center Connects with Local CommunityThe ALGH campus in Park Ridge IL, thirty minutes west of Chicago, was seeing a decline in patients in the early 2000’s.
The campus was built in the early 1960’s with precast concrete construction and was behind in medical treatment technology.
To make a better visual connection to the community and advertise their technology upgrades in cancer treatment, the hospital wanted a modern facility as it’s front door.
Project Title:
Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Center for Advanced Care
Location:
Park Ridge, Illinois
Size:
150,000 SF Addition/ Renovation
Cost:
$24 Million
Date:
Spring, 2005
Description:
This is an addition to an existing Cancer Center that was built in the late 1960’s. The design challenge to this project was visually unifying 3 different cancer treatment departments in an addition with existing floor heights of 8’-8”.
The addition provided a curtain wall exterior and a public waiting and circulation area to connect the departments. The interior was a complete renovation of the Gyne Oncology, Radiology, Women’s Breast Center and Chemotherapy departments. My role on this project was to generate the design concepts, produce design visualization, work with user groups to develop the plans, detail the exterior curtain wall and assist with construction administration.

LVHS Brings Education Excellence to Chicago’s South sideSet in a traditionally hispanic neighborhood on Chicago’s south side, LVHS was conceived from a group of local parents who fasted for 13 days in protest over the low quality public schools in their neighborhood.
LVHS brings the small school concept where 800 students can specialize in 1 of 4 areas of focus for all 4 years of their high school education.
The school offers over 400,000 SF of classroom, auditorium, library, art and athletic spaces.

Project Title:
Chicago Public Schools - Little Village High School
Location:
Chicago, Illinois
Size:
410,000 SF - New Construction
Cost: $65 Million
Date:
March, 2003
Description:
This is one of the largest High Schools ever built for the Chicago Public School System. Little Village High School is on Chicago’s Southeast side in a traditionally hispanic neighborhood.
The school system decided to build the school after a group of local mothers went on a hunger strike for 13 days. To pay respect to those mothers, there is a cone shaped lobby in the center of the school’s courtyard that has a sun calendar where the light disappears on the anniversary of the strike. LVHS also has a state of the art auditorium, gymnasium, pool, art department and cafeteria.
My role on this project was design support and documentation of the interior.

University of California at San Fransico - Mission Bay
NEUROSCIENCES BUILDING San Francisco, California - Mission Bay Campus
UCSF Focuses Research Expansion to Mission BayThe UCSF Mission Bay Neurosciences building was an invited design competition to develop the most elegant architectural design for the lowest cost.
EHDD and SKS investments teamed up with McCarthy construction to develop this proposal.
The design of this 200,000 SF facility included general research laboratories, a penthouse Vivarium, and a clinic for the treatment of degenerative disease.
The glass ribbon on the building defines the entry and resembles the shape of a neuron cell.
