The Library of the Future study defined a vision for improving the quality of library and learning facilities at the existing historic McDermott Library. Through a series of workshops and interviews with the Library Steering Committee, and representatives of the Library staff, USAFA faculty, and cadets, planning recommendations were developed for phased renovation and expansion of the Library, addressing acknowledged deficiencies in the 1958 structure and current functions and ultimately transforming the facility into the Library of the Future. Proposed renovations will update building systems as well as reconfigure interior spaces for new programmatic uses and improved existing uses. The study proposed a 25% space increase, adding approximately 36,000 square feet to provide new learning center functions and collections access to the Library. The overall estimated construction costs for the complete renovation and addition was $75 million, encompassing over 180,000 total square feet.

A vision for a transformative Euclid addition includes improving recruitment, retention and graduation rates, as well as fostering a long term relationship inside and outside of campus. This new facility will be a destination building that is inviting and welcoming, obvious in purpose, and makes an excellent first impression as the campus’s front door. The program was laid out in a concept that is easy to access and navigate, with an intuitive layout. Discussions in the user group meetings specifically challenged methods for fostering interaction and collaboration between groups to improve services and visibility, enriching the diversity and academic quality of the students, while maintaining flexibility in space utilization. The facility will fill the programmatic needs of diverse groups, including the Admissions welcome center and auditorium, the Center for Outreach and Engagement, Academic Advising, the International English Center, and the Office of Pre-College Outreach and Engagement. The location is easy to find for first time visitors and conveniently located above the visitor parking garage. The planning process included defining a vision for the project based on current and future needs of a growing student population, while enhancing student recruitment facilities. Space deficiencies and future growth needs were evaluated based on academic and administrative directions and initiatives. A concept design for the building and site was developed, including engineered systems, in order to quantify target budgets and refine cost estimates. The building is being planned to maximize sustainable design and operational practices in alignment with student expectations, campus leadership priorities and the 2011 Campus Master Plan.

With the announcement that CU Denver’s campus was to house a full undergraduate and graduate curriculum, it became clear to school officials that the existing facilities would not be able to adequately accommodate the necessary program requirements for a contemporary collegiate program in architecture. This was reinforced by the fact that the existing building was obsolete, and desperately in need of significant renovation in mechanical and electrical systems to bring the structure up to current sustainable and code standards. A great architectural and planning education must not be restrained by the quality of space. A collaborative partnership was developed to find creative solutions for the second-floor renovation project, one that will accommodate all incoming freshmen students in 2015, with construction occurring only during summer break to prevent any class disruptions. While challenging to renovative an existing facility, the project offered opportunities to envision new spaces for learning, expressing the legacy and prominence of the university as inspiration, while offering modern spaces that support the academic needs of the 21st Century architecture and planning student.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BUSINESS SCHOOL DENVER, COLORADO

The University of Colorado made a landmark decision when creating their new Business School. Instead of finding land and building a new, ground up facility, they purchased an existing office building built in the early 1980s at 1475 Lawrence Street. This location is both close to the UCD campus and integrated with the downtown business community. The new Business School allowed the school to consolidate resources into one location, which is now a sustainable LEED Gold building. RNL created a design for the space that has resulted in providing better opportunities for students, faculty and businesses to engage and collaborate with each other. This is also providing students the practical real-world experience they need to succeed and it is giving businesses access to new innovative research and ideas. One area of focus includes an incubator space for start-up companies created and fostered through the Business School that provides access to the latest technologies and facilitates collaboration. Other spaces include more collaborative layouts and fully integrated technologies in the classroom, student commons areas including breakout spaces, exterior context images, and concepts for the main building lobby showcasing a new three story connecting stair that allows greater flexibility for circulation of students and faculty.

Metro State has shared the Auraria Higher Education Campus with two other higher learning institutions since its inception in 1965. Challenged to create an atmosphere unique to the Metro students, a new master plan was created to identify a new neighborhood for use solely by Metro. As the first building, Student Success creates an identity for Metro and serves as a gateway for their students and the community. The building is programmed at 145,000 gsf and is home to all administrative functions allowing for a collaborative, synergistic and efficient atmosphere. Several unique programs are designed to aid in student retention in the early years on campus; First Year Experience, the Center for Innovation, a One Stop Shop for all student services and a Community Action Theater. The Theater connects academic resources with the needs of the community in a state of the art computer visualization center with break out spaces to explore issues ranging from urban growth to the environment in a collaborative forum. Aligned with Metro’s mission of public service, the building is certified LEED-NC Gold and is a benchmark for future buildings within the new neighborhood. The diversity of the Metro community is reflected in the open, welcoming, spaces that create a congenial atmosphere for all students and guests – a new home base for the campus.

The Hannelly Student Center Renovation addresses the streamlining of the registration process by housing all of the Student Support Services in one building and implementing a “One Stop” concept (developed to be the new 21st Century Maricopa Standard) improving customer service to students. The project consists of a new addition to the existing Hannelly Student Center, a complete remodel and renovation of the existing Hannelly Center and a remodel of the current Learning Center Building into a Student Union with an exterior patio. An important part of the design was to establish a front entrance/gateway to the Hannelly Center essentially creating the “front door” to the Campus. The renovations provide a more efficient, yet warm and friendly environment for students and staff. The facility also creates social interaction, multi-purpose, study areas, and club and meeting spaces for students, staff, and community members. The dining space provides spaces for students to study, collaborate, and enjoy their food. The dining space was opened up and physically connected with the outside plaza and malls so students can comfortably dine outside and the community can use the space after hours. Spaces for students and clubs were developed to give them a place to meet, study, interact with faculty and staff, and enjoy the collegiate environment.

RNL developed a facilities master plan for approximately 1.7 million square feet of academic space on the United States Air Force Academy’s Colorado Springs campus, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2004. The academy is currently ranked as one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country and has reached a critical point in their history where their facilities must keep pace with the exceptional academic standards they have achieved. This study encompasses the three primary classroom, lab and faculty office buildings on campus: Fairchild Hall, Aeronautics Research Lab and the Consolidated Education and Training Facility (CETF). The project focused on capturing the strategic vision of the Academy to understand how existing and future academic and research initiatives can be supported and enhanced by the campus facilities. The scope of work included a full inventory of physical building systems and assessment of space in these facilities; a comprehensive analyses of the academy’s facilities as compared with regional and national peer institutions; the development of a detailed space needs program to meet defined goals and objectives; and the development of a strategic facilities master plan that outlines phased implementation of recommended improvements, including the creation of a central “Cadet Commons,” a new science and engineering addition to the CETF, and the establishment of new interdisciplinary research lab space in all buildings. RNL also evaluated and assessed potential implementation of future sustainable design features to enhance the energy performance of these individual buildings.

A U R A R I A H I G H E R E D U C AT I O N C E N T E R 1 0 T H S T R E E T PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR DENVER, COLORADO

The Auraria Higher Education Center wanted to create a pedestrian dominant spine along the 10th Street Corridor while maintaining service and emergency vehicle access in a discreet way. RNL’s design uses pedestrian scaled materials and textures, along with the removal of standard curb and gutter, to shift the focus of use towards a pedestrian environment. Permeable pavers provide a warmth and scale appropriate for pedestrians and begins to address water quality and conveyance issues. A permeable surface and curb removal allows elevation changes needed to address existing cross slope issues. The existing vegetated medians provide an opportunity for additional water quality and quantity capacity. Native grasses and shrubs combine to create aesthetic filters for stormwater and visually enhance the pedestrian experience. RNL’s design of the 10th Street Corridor uses universal design strategies to address accessibility issues including design strategies for the visually impaired. An initial evaluation of the existing lighting, irrigation, and utilities enabled RNL to ensure that safe light levels were met, irrigation modifications were efficient and cost effective, and potential heat capture for snow melt was analyzed.

Sustainable Design

We are all living in a moment of unprecedented technological and societal change. From the knowledge economy to the clean tech revolution the buildings and communities we create today must respond to this new reality. They must be flexible enough to remain relevant in a technology-driven future, and most importantly must reflect the growing body of research into the close relationship between the built environment and personal and public health. In 2016 the definition of sustainability must look beyond just energy efficiency and healthy material selections. Designers have a responsibility to help move the needle on the state of health in our society. RNL is a certified B Corporation because we believe in a holistic approach to the impact of both our projects and our internal operations, one that equally values the personal and societal aspect as much as the environmental and business-model aspects.

NREL Research Support Facilities– LEED-NC Platinum, Net Zero Energy

Sustainable Design

From good indoor air quality to access to drinking fountains; ample daylight to circadian rhythm-based electric lighting; visual connections to nature to indirect reminders of biomorphic patterns; design has the potential to transform a person’s state of mind and state of health. At RNL we believe well-being is the presence of happiness, motivation and health, not just the absence of illness and stress. A 10% increase in well-being is linked to 5% increase in productivity. In this knowledgebased economy productivity drives profit, and the benefit of investing in health and well-being is clear.

RNL’s design process is focused on design excellence, sustainability and client value. The three hallmarks of our process are integration, research and innovation. We define integration in multiple ways. First, our teams are integrated. Our business model and design culture is multidisciplinary. We design the entire built environment and approach projects from a holistic perspective. Integration also describes the essence of our design solutions. We seek to find the synergies between systems and strong singular solutions that solve multiple problems. This level of integration and problem solving requires research during design. We follow a research-based design process that involves deep understanding of our clients’ needs and objectives paired with research on climate, energy, materials, sustainable strategies, site issues, cultural issues and other project specific elements. We often find that the key to good research is asking the right questions. This inquisitive approach leads to innovative results – results that deliver on design excellence, sustainability and client value.
