Center for Online Learning Research and Innovation Established at MVU Indicative of the emerging role online learning plays in K-12 education, Public Act 201 of 2012 directed the Michigan Virtual University® (MVU) to establish the Center for Online Learning Research and Innovation. The Center for Online Learning Research and Innovation will serve multiple roles to support Michigan’s students, parents, schools, K-12 and post-secondary educators and state and local policymakers. Housed at Michigan Virtual University and headquartered in Lansing, the center will draw upon recognized state and national leaders from K-12 schools, higher education and private industry to provide research, evaluation and development expertise.

“Voice Of The Construction Industry”®

The center will support and accelerate innovation in education through a variety of activities, including researching technologybased instructional tools and online learning delivery models, designing professional development services for educators, and identifying and sharing best practices for implementing online and blended education delivery models. “This initiative demonstrates both Michigan's and MVU's continued dedication to the online and blended learning field and to supporting an array of quality learning environments for students throughout the state," said Susan Patrick, president & CEO of the International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL). "The center will provide a blueprint for others to emulate as they explore the establishment of new models of learning in their own states.” iNACOL is the international K-12 non-profit association representing the interests of practitioners, providers and students involved in online learning worldwide. The center will also provide leadership for

online and blended learning in the state through activities such as: • Producing an annual consumer awareness report for schools and parents about effective online education providers and education delivery models, performance data, cost structures and research trends. • Developing and reporting policy recommendations to the governor and the Legislature that accelerate the expansion of effective online learning in this state’s schools. • Providing a clearinghouse for research reports, academic studies, evaluations and other information related to online learning. • In collaboration with the department and interested colleges and universities in this state, recommending to the superintendent guidelines and standards for a new teacher endorsement credential related to effective online and blended instruction. • Convening focus groups and conducting

annual surveys of teachers, administrators, pupils, parents and others to identify barriers and opportunities related to online learning. “The center will support and accelerate innovation and we plan to focus attention on a variety of strategies designed to build greater capacity for online teaching and learning that further expand Michigan’s leadership role in the knowledge economy,” said Jamey Fitzpatrick, MVU president & CEO. “MVU has chosen Dr. Joe Freidhoff to serve as the center’s director.” Dr. Freidhoff’s promotion to Center director comes after more than three years of service to MVU. Dr. Freidhoff earned his Ph.D. in educational technologies from Michigan State University and specializes in data-driven decision making, analysis of student and teacher performance, course evaluation and data optimization. Over the coming weeks, the center will establish a Web presence for communicating its findings, and begin work on several of this year’s projects.

SAFETY TOOL KIT Selecting a Safe Subcontractor Tracey Alfonsi

By Tracey Alfonsi, Director of Education & Safety Services

ecently, there has been a push by MIOSHA to identify the controlling contractor on site and hold that company accountable for the unsafe actions of every other contractor working on the project. This has resulted in an increase in citations and penalties associated with work performed by a subcontractor. To adequately protect yourself, it is imperative that you have a procedure to select a safe, competent contractor. Providing full-time supervision is a great option if possible, but taking these steps BEFORE awarding the contract could prevent a catastrophic event: 1. Never hire a company without a recommendation from someone you trust. If no one has a recommendation, call me. I will check with the members of CAM’s Safety Committee and provide you with honest feedback about that contractor’s safety performance and/or a suggestion for a company that has a great track record. 2. Be prepared to review some paperwork. First, ask the company for their last three years’ Experience Modification Rate (EMR) on their insurance company’s letterhead. An EMR less than 1.0 indicates that their workers’ compensation claims are below average for their industry. Is it trending upward or downward? Next, check their OSHA 300A log. Consider the number of hours worked vs. number of recorded injuries and illnesses. To find out how they compare to other companies in their same industry, visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics webpage at www.bls.gov. Most importantly, ask for training records. Are they providing annual

Asbestos Awareness training? Is someone certified in First Aid? Finally, ask for a copy of their written Accident Prevention Plan or Safety Manual and read it. Does it appear to be updated regularly? Does it contain information relevant to the type of work they perform? Will their work require respirators and do they have a written program? 3. Look ‘em up. All OSHA and MIOSHA citations are considered public information and can be viewed on the OSHA website. Go to ww.osha.gov/pls/imis/establishment.html and search by company name. The online database includes records from the last five years. 4. Know your contract. Contracts often spell out certain safety responsibilities. Make sure you know how the contract allocates responsibility for safety, whether it's defining frequency of Toolbox Talks and inspections, or who is responsible for safety briefings or other obligations. Satisfy your duties according to the contract and insist that other parties do the same. 5. Lastly, but in my opinion most importantly, meet the “safety person” that works for the company. If the safety person is the person in the office that answers the phones, talk to them. Having a fancy safety manual, or monthly meetings and multiple forms doesn’t guarantee a safe worksite. Investigate their safety culture – do they walk the talk? Hiring a subcontractor has come a long way from picking the one with the best ad in the Yellow Pages. Protect your company from liability, your workers from an unsafe jobsite, and your owner from unexpected delays by establishing a thorough process for selecting a safe contractor. CAM MAGAZINE

Advanced Lighting Has a

BRIGHT FUTURE in Michigan

By Douglas Elbinger, Energy Policy Analyst, Greenlancer Energy, Inc.

e are already aware that the concept of ‘sustainability’ in energy, conservation and job creation is pervasive and becoming more visible in the cultural and political landscape. In the last few years, the business and political will, focused in this direction of sustainability, is showing up in the form of Michigan’s technology ‘talent pool’ redirecting efforts from automotive into ‘new technologies’ that create an array of new ‘supply chain’ jobs. Essentially, a variety of the new jobs being created are starting in basic scientific research and development, product design, engineering, on to manufacturing, and also to marketing, sales and distribution. When you take a close look at the ‘advanced lighting’ industry in Michigan, you see the poster child for this transition. Imagine all the jobs that spin-off from any new industry. It’s not just the engineering and manufacturing, but component assembly, testing, and training the work force to install or retrofit these new energy saving lights. In case the importance is not obvious, let’s assume that lighting in general, is one of the main consumption points of all energy used, and any efforts toward conservation and increased efficiency will have significant bottom-line impact. According to industry statistics, if just 25% of the florescent lighting in the United States were converted to LED lighting, we could save $15 billion dollars in annual electric costs, or effectively decommission 130 coal burning plants. In other ‘glowing’ terms, this will prevent the release of greenhouse gases equal to 10 million autos and reduce carbon emissions by 158 metric tons. Along with rising energy costs is the rising interest in green building practices, as more

ambitious energy conservation targets are set by governments, building contractors and the general public. The need to incorporate ‘advanced lighting solutions’ into new construction and retrofit existing building and facilities is an overall component of achieving sustainability and creating a whole new industry. According to published industry data, projected demand for ‘advanced lighting solutions’ is ‘explosive’ and points to a massive global market with Michigan as the epicenter, with a ‘talent pool’ ready, willing, and well positioned to compete on a global scale.

SO WHAT IS ADVANCED LIGHTING? The simple answer is using new technologies that will both improve the quality of light, the lighting systems that deliver it, and at the same time significantly reduce the cost in terms of energy consumption and maintenance. There are two principal ‘light engines’ that are getting the attention. The first is LED (light emitting diode) which we are already familiar with… those tiny glowing lamps that look like grains of rice. These have been around for a while and we’re used to seeing them in home appliances, automobile tail-lights and dashboards, computers and almost anything that has a ‘ready’ light. These have already morphed into more commercial and residential applications, such as office lighting, parking lots and streetlights. The second is ‘induction’ lighting, also not new, but recent technological improvements have ramped up higher levels of energy efficiency and a very long lamp life that translates into low operating and maintenance costs. Induction lamps often advertise a lifespan of 80,000 to 100,000 hours (five to nine years or more in service depending on many factors), which is essentially the same as LED lamp lifespan. The other major difference between the technologies is in conversion efficiency (energy utilization) and costs. Induction lighting, so far, has had mostly ‘industrial strength’ applications. It is 50% more efficient than CFLs, and other traditional incandescant lamps, and cuts energy usage of traditional lamps like ‘mercury vapor’ and ‘high-pressure sodium’ by half or more. Its long lifespan of over 80,000 hours makes it a reliable answer for hard-to-maintain areas… read: less replacement cost, making for a “Voice Of The Construction Industry”®

very environmentally friendly solution. This is particularly significant where large area illumination is needed, for example in outdoor parking, warehouses or stadium settings. To make this real easy to grasp, let’s just say ‘induction lamps’ are a form of ‘light engine’ that is powered by an electromagnetic field rather than through lamp electrodes or direct electrical connections as in traditional lamps. Looking ahead, “Both of these light engines have proven huge market potential and are designed, engineered and manufactured from the ground up here in Michigan,” according to Jim Leidel, energy manager at Oakland University. Leidel set up real life field-testing of advanced lighting systems on the Oakland University campus where lighting products from eight manufactures will be tested for scale and economy. He adds, “The LED technology is advancing so rapidly that we can expect to see LED technology eclipse other ‘light engines’ with many improvements in the near future.” As the applications and demand for LED lights increase, the cost of

manufacturing is expected to decrease and further accelerate the adoption of these products. Other advantages to solid-state lighting are that they don’t contain hazards materials (lead and mercury) and are easier to recycle. The bottom line is more light output with less energy input.

400 lumens (amount of light) and dialing that up to 3000 lumens ...effectivly turning your desk lamp into the power of a ‘street light’ without using more electrical power! This is the scale of innovation and advancement in light output we can look for.

MICHIGAN INNOVATIONS IN ADVANCED LIGHTING When you step back and contemplate the whole energy conservation landscape, the transition to solid state (LED) lighting is the low hanging fruit, says Ingo Schneider, CEO of LED Optical Solutions, LLC, one the innovative new advanced lighting companies located in Washington, MI. Schneider, who transitioned from the automotive industry into advanced lighting, explained that, “In terms of bang for the buck, the transition to LED lighting, on almost any scale, will get significant return on investment. This is one area in energy conservation that you see results in next month’s bill”. In other terms, he further explained enhanced performance. Imagine taking your 40 watt (amount of electric power) desk lamp that outputs approximatly

ADVANTAGES OF LED LIGHTING • Energy Efficiency. LEDs produce more light per watt and consume considerably less energy than traditional lamp sources. Often 80% efficiency over traditional lights. • Longer Life. LEDs have a long useful life, up to 100,000 hours. By comparison, fluorescent tubes typically are rated at about 10-15,000 hours, depending on conditions of use, and incandescent light bulbs just 1-2,000 hours. This translates into huge savings on maintenance and replacements costs. • Color Range. LEDs can emit light of an intended color without the use of color filters that traditional lighting methods require. This is more efficient and lowers costs. • Small Size. Single LEDs are very small and

can be combined in any shape to produce desired lumen packages. Small size allows LEDs to easily populate printed circuit boards and configure into almost any shape and size. No Delay or Warm-up Time. LEDs light up very quickly. A typical indicator LED will achieve full brightness in microseconds. Instant Cycling. LEDs are ideal for use in applications that are subject to frequent on-off cycling, unlike fluorescent lamps that burn out more quickly when cycled frequently. Easily Dimmable. LEDs can be easily dimmed either by pulse-width modification or lowering the forward current. Slow to Fail. LEDs mostly fail by dimming over time, rather than the abrupt burnout of incandescent bulbs. Rugged Durability. As solid-state components, LEDs are difficult to damage with external shock, unlike fluorescent and incandescent bulbs, which have fragile filaments and tubes to contend with.

• Highly Directional. The solid package of the LED is designed to focus light in the direction where needed without waste. Incandescent and fluorescent sources often require an external reflector to collect light and direct it in a usable manner. • Environmentally Friendly. Unlike fluorescent lamps, LEDs do not contain mercury or lead and are free of UV and IR emissions. • Silent Operation. With frictionless parts, LED operation is noiseless. • Enhanced Safety. The low level of heat produced and low-voltage power supply required by LEDs make them a much safer source of light than competitive sources. When you add up all these advantages you will know the future of lighting and you know it‘s made in Michigan.

well as stacks of salvaged brick – some as old as this building supplier that originally started as a fuel and coal supply company in the 1930s for Detroit area homes and businesses. “We probably have the largest stock of matching face brick salvaged from old housing in the Detroit area,” said Steve

Joseph, Sabiston sales. “We buy from specific suppliers involved in demolition.” As part of a long-standing tradition and market niche, Sabiston offers “a large inventory of tools and products relating to the trowel trades,” continued Joseph. “These include masonry and concrete supplies,

plaster and drywall goods, metal studs and framing materials and much more.” Step into the Sabiston showroom and the interior is filled with a wide variety of tools. Over eight different hammers line one display wall, including a lathing hammer, a magnetic nail hammer, a mason hammer for chipping and breaking, a roofing hammer for cutting shingles and a dead blow hammer with a head filled with bearings to deliver greater force. “Very often tradespeople will come in and just walk the aisles for 20 minutes, because they have never seen all these different tools in one place,” said Joseph. In the masonry and plaster arena, many of Sabiston’s trowel tools and other items are not found in any other supply facility in Southeast Michigan. One example is the blister brush. “As plaster work declines in popularity, this brush is becoming more difficult to find locally, as is true for many other plaster and trowel trade tools,” said Joseph. He explains: “The blister brush is used in certain plaster applications for applying water or removing water from a surface. Typically, the purpose of applying water is to smooth out the finish on certain veneer plaster systems. The application is similar to wet sanding in drywall work, but it is done with the blister brush that is equipped with felt pads to absorb the water. The width of the nine-inch pad gives the user a wide screed to smooth out the finish.” Visit us online at www.cammagazineonline.com

Sabiston offers other difficult-to-find tools serving the block, drywall, plaster and other trowel trades, including wood come-alongs for concrete work.

Sabiston’s shelves offer other difficult to find tools serving the block, drywall, plaster and other trowel trades, including wood come-alongs for concrete work. “You won’t find these any place else in the Detroit area,” said Joseph. Stocked in Sabiston’s showroom, soap stone holders and soap stone – a chalk-like marker for measurement – are other amenities offered to make life easier for the trowel trades. “Everybody knows that if you can’t find it anywhere else, just go to Sabiston’s,” said Joseph. “If we don’t have it, we can track it down and get it.” Window shopping at Sabiston will reveal a host of other specialty products, such as textured rollers to create decorative plaster in a sunburst or vine pattern. “We even carry No. 1 molding plaster,” said Joseph. “Many prosthetic manufacturers come in and buy it for use in the molds to make artificial limbs.” Sabiston maintains a tradition of tracking down unique tools, but another driving force behind this diverse assortment is Cindy Dunlop, a member of the Sabiston sales force and a mechanical engineer by training. A tool guru by training and inclination, Dunlop orders tools for the company, and even repairs the older, heavier and now discontinued stapler guns for application of tarpaper in tile flooring. “We have the technical expertise in-house to deal with and service just about any situation,” said Joseph. From 20 different types of knee-pads to large bottles of glitter for spray painting ceilings with a glitter gun, the Sabiston showroom has it all. As part of its multimillion dollar annual sales volume, Sabiston also carries Port Austin levels, a wood level made in Michigan. In the spring and fall, Sabiston even sells pure honey, courtesy of Dunlop’s father who is a beekeeper. If you’re hungry or need a specialty hammer, Sabiston has it stocked on their shelves. “We’re just that kind of place,” said Joseph. One display area in the showroom even contains custom glass block samples created by Doug Brooks, a Sabiston associate. “We have a facility in the back where a gentleman builds custom glass block panels for anything from bars to showers,” said Joseph. This amazingly diverse company seems to do everything, except for open-heart surgery. “It’s one thing we don’t do, but we are working on it,” Joseph quipped. “We already help with artificial limbs.” Shop till you drop at Sabiston Builders Supply, and if you do drop, they probably have a tool or service for your own personal repair.

The SDS Max Drill Extension By Mary E. Kremposky, Associate Editor 20

CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2013

Bill Parkhill, president of CTS, showcases this amazing new drill extension for chisels and masonry drill bits. “People have been asking for such a product for decades,” said Parkhill. “Voice Of The Construction Industry”®

TOOLS

uilding the world is no easy task. In the fast-track management of money, materials and labor, contractors can’t afford to come up short. In this environment, finding the right tool for the job can be a godsend. Enter the SDS Max drill extension. The SDS Max drill extension for chisels and masonry drill bits has only been available for the last six to eight months, said Bill Parkhill, president of CTS – Construction Tool & Supply Co., a Warren-based supplier that has been finding the right tools for construction companies for over 34 years. The SDS Max is a steel coupling device and extension for rotary hammer drills useful in either chipping or drilling applications. Attached to a chisel, the SDS Max allows a tradesperson to scale or strip ceramic tile from the floor from a standing vs. a kneeling or a bent-over position. Attached to a drill bit, the SDS Max allows a contractor to drill more deeply and more efficiently into thick concrete and to reach farther into overhead areas congested with ductwork, piping and other MEP systems. Contractors have been asking for such a product for years. When a manufacturer contacted CTS for a product test run, Parkhill responded with enthusiasm. “I said, ‘Definitely send it to me, no questions asked,’” recalled Parkhill, “because people have been asking for such a product for decades. People come in and say, ‘Can’t you sell me an extension, because I don’t want to buy a brand new, expensive drill bit that I may only use one time for one project.

EXCLTeUchSnoIVloEgy

When I saw this product come into the market, I ordered it immediately.” Before the SDS Max: A contractor working at GM World Headquarters last year had to drill through 48 inches of concrete. Because most standard drill bits in a contractor’s typical toolkit fall short of this desired length, the contractor had to use a more costly, custom drill bit for this particular job, said Parkhill. After the SDS Max: The acquisition of an SDS extension would have solved the problem for half the cost. With a drill extension, a contractor doesn’t have to buy a longer or custom drill bit for projects falling outside the norm. Plus, the SDS Max could have been used on the contractor’s future projects. “The neat thing about the SDS Max is that the coupler and the extension can then be used on all of a contractor’s drill bits and chisels,” said Parkhill. In the world of drill bits, bits in heavy demand are more available, leaving drill bits of longer length and greater diameter less available and more costly. “There are some standard drill bits available that are 36 inches in length, but the available diameters are limited,” said Parkhill. The SDS Max offers the perfect solution to this longstanding problem, because it is a type of universal tool accessory that can tailor a contractor’s existing, in-stock drill bits to each particular project. Finding a solution to a long-standing problem is like discovering

other side of the concrete, and begin drilling on the other side of a concrete wall or floor. “If they didn’t measure correctly, it would become a real challenge,” said Parkhill. “It also becomes an expensive hole for a contractor to drill.” The SDS Max is already on the jobsite. In

one project, a contractor was tasked with the removal of concrete someone had poured into the tubes at the bottom of an elevator shaft. “The concrete was several feet thick,” said Parkhill, “but they were able to use the extension to reach down into these tubes and chop the concrete away.” SDS Max is also useful in congested plenums above corridors, particularly in hospital environments with their intense amalgamation of building systems. Using the SDS Max, a contractor “can snake the drill bit between these systems, reaching through a smaller area and going farther above the congested ceiling area to gain access,” said Parkhill. “With this extension, the contractor can more easily drill holes into the concrete deck for the placement of anchors.” The SDS Max is available in three extension lengths: 12.5 inches, 30 inches and 44 inches. “We have different lengths for various drilling or chipping applications,” added Parkhill. Never come up short again. Visit CTS at Booth No. 126 at CAM’s Michigan Construction & Design Tradeshow on February 6, 2013, 10 a.m. to 5 pm.

CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHT

Giving Voice to a Great Building Barton Malow Builds New Language Hub for MSU By Mary E. Kremposky, Associate Editor Photos by Justin Maconochie Photography LLC ichigan State University’s (MSU) College of Arts and Letters can thank Barton Malow Company for the construction of 88,000-square-feet of new space, housed in a contemporary, environmentally-friendly addition. In fact, Wells Hall scholars can thank the Southfieldbased construction manager in German, French, Portuguese and Italian, as well as in a wide array of Slavic, Asian and African languages. With a new three-story vertical addition, a single-story horizontal addition and 40,000-square-feet of renovated classroom space, Wells Hall is now MSU’s

CAM MAGAZINE JANUARY 2013

central hub for language and linguistics, as well as the new home for the Department of English and the English Language Center, according to MSU Physical Plant. Design and construction are disciplines seemingly with their own language, or at least their own terminology. Micro-piles and transverse steel-braced framing are part of the “vocabulary” of this ambitious expansion. The three-story vertical expansion actually straddles the B Wing of the existing Wells Hall, slicing along and across the building on a 31degree angle and resting on 233 micro-piles. “Many of the micro-piles were drilled with a

specialty rig that is one of only five such pieces of equipment in the United States,” said Barton Malow Project Superintendent Chad W. Beldyga. The same type of drill rig was used to shore and support damaged utility tunnels near the World Trade Center after 9-11. Steel columns are carefully placed in the single-story B Wing to avoid interrupting sight lines in a Wing housing four of the largest lecture halls on Michigan State’s campus. “The structure of the new addition threads through these lecture halls, minimizing both the loss of seats and “Voice Of The Construction Industry”®

avoiding the creation of obstructed views,” said Principal-in-Charge and Project Administrator Paul Stachowiak, Integrated Design Solutions (IDS), Troy, Architect of Record. “The structural steel features long spans and cantilever conditions to achieve these goals.” “Four approaches to the structural design were analyzed with our structural partners, SDI Structures,” added Daniel Kinkead, project designer for Hamilton Anderson Associates, Inc. (HAA), the Detroit-based collaborative design partner with IDS. “The least costly and least intrusive approach was a series of transverse, two-story, steel-braced frames. These frames rest upon columns that are supported by spread footings and piles.” This innovative structure not only allowed the addition to bridge across the large lecture halls, but also created the framework for the dynamic spaces within the new addition. The atrium, called the “communicating space,” is an open space soaring to a height of three stories, clad in interior bamboo walls and an exterior glass curtain wall. The glass draws in natural light and offers a grand vista of a campus park, creating an engaging space for study or conversation. Thoughtful design has clearly created great spaces for analyzing Shakespeare or learning Chinese. The newly expanded Wells Hall is a contemporary, collaborative building devoted to the teaching of the spoken and written word in a multi-cultural environment blossoming with different languages. In viewing the new “green” roof and bamboo-clad, light-filled areas, the 900 people attending the grand opening in early September 2012 were clearly impressed, but – as language and linguistic scholars - certainly not speechless. A newsletter of the MSU College of Arts and Letters described the Wells Hall addition as “beautiful, hi-tech and eco-friendly.” CHAPTER ONE The design of the addition, devoted to the art of communication, was itself an exercise in communication. IDS formed a unique collaborative partnership with Hamilton Anderson Associates. HAA led the building, site and landscape design, while IDS took charge of interior, furniture, mechanical and electrical engineering design. The entire design team took turns co-locating in each other’s offices during different design phases. The transformation of Wells Hall actually began as the Morrill Hall Replacement Project. Built in 1900, Morrill Hall was Visit us online at www.cammagazineonline.com

originally known as the Women’s Building and was designed for the teaching of domestic science. The hall housed the Department of English and other departments in the College of Arts and Letters in modern times. In the conceptual design phase, the design team realized that the venerable old hall’s infrastructure had far

exceeded its useful life. “A $6 million to $8 million investment was imminent, and MSU decided that designing a new home for the language departments would be more cost effective,” said Stachowiak. Reuniting language departments widely scattered across this East Lansing campus was another core advantage of the

CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHT expansion. “Collaboration and communication among faculty and students was a compelling goal,” said Stachowiak. Wells Hall already housed some language offices, labs and classrooms. Its location in the heart of campus near the Red Cedar River and on the edge of People’s Park drove the new addition’s placement. The University wanted to preserve this lovely park - located between Wells Hall and the river - and maintain its tradition of beautiful campus landscapes. “We wanted to create a facility that celebrates the idyllic landscapes that define MSU as the nation’s first land grant university,” said Kinkead. For park preservation and because of insufficient space along Red Cedar Road, the design team elected to build the vertical addition over the B Wing of Wells Hall, a 50,000-square-foot building with three wings (the B Wing connects the two multistory wings). The vertical expansion houses private and open office areas and the two-story presentation space, said Beldyga. A single-story horizontal addition to the north houses

several new classrooms and offices, and sprouts a newly installed vegetated roof. AN EDUCATION IN VALUE ENGINEERING Whether building up or out, Barton Malow’s value engineering expertise helped to make this project possible. Barton Malow joined the project in the schematic design phase, working closely with the design team to create a building within the available budget. In this case, talk isn’t cheap; the language arts additions cost $28 million. Barton Malow worked closely with the design team to steer the project toward financial sustainability by suggesting more standardized systems, details and materials for the curtain wall, the glass and the exterior limestone. “We felt we provided best value in suggesting more standardized curtain wall details with a reduced number of specialty extrusions,” said Sean Hollister, Barton Malow project manager for the first half of the project. In lieu of fritted glass and other specialty glass, the project team opted for standard glazing, coupled with a sensor-controlled

shading system, to manage the heat load on the building’s east and south sides. Switching from Canadian to Indiana limestone for the exterior cladding also helped the budget. “During the bid process, we created mockups of the Indiana limestone panels,” said Hollister. “We were able to show a significant savings in using the Indiana limestone, a stone that can be fabricated and procured locally. Many companies in the Midwest are very comfortable procuring that type of stone, whereas the Canadian limestone was coming from only one quarry.” Barton Malow applied best value principles to the B Wing renovation, effectively shrinking the size of the re-roofed area and confining interior renovation to repair of the hallway flooring, installation of new ceilings in the classroom, as well as painting. Rather than purchase new chairs, the existing chairs were removed, stored on site and then reinstalled to protect them from any potential damage during installation of the micro-piles. The design intent was preserved in all directions. “The north and east sides of the building are composed of curtain wall, providing generous views to People’s Park and offering daylight and sightlines to the faculty and staff in open offices,” said Kinkead. “The south façade provides a dramatic view into a large presentation space, revealing the identifiable sloped floor that can be seen by many driving, biking and walking north along Red Cedar Road.” The addition extends beyond the existing building on the north and south, offering the faculty views into the heart of the historic north campus and heightening the visual flair of the presentation space. “The west façade is a more conventional brick masonry façade with punched windows, complementing the existing Wells complex,” adds Kinkead. “This façade is punctuated with an outboard core housing a stair and elevator.” AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT “COLLABORATION” Barton Malow launched construction in August 2010, beginning with the installation of a $500,000 chilled water loop linking existing chillers in the basement of Wells Hall and the adjacent International Center. “We installed about 400 feet of pipe from the southeast corner of the B Wing to the northwest corner of the International Center,” said Robert Hausler, Barton Malow project manager for the second half of the project. The pipe’s track traveled right through the

CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHT heart of the campus and the pedestrian pathways linking this community of academic buildings. “We had to install the pipe in two phases, closing half of the area off at a time so we could keep a pedestrian route open,” said Beldyga. Barton Malow worked at night to install the chilled water lines above the ceiling of the International Center to avoid disrupting daytime activity. The chilled water loop and chillers serve Wells Hall, the International Center and the College of Education buildings, providing “a redundancy and economical use of energy for all three buildings,” said Stachowiak. The existing cooling tower on the roof of B Wing was removed to make way for the addition and relocated to the roof of the new addition, reducing noise and visual “pollution” to the A and C Wings. BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR LEARNING Full-scale construction of the vertical and horizontal additions began in earnest with the installation of 101 micro-piles inside the basement of B Wing and 132 micro-piles

drilled in the open on grade. “The micropiles take the full load of the vertical addition, which is structurally independent of the existing building,” said Beldyga. Drilling the interior micro-piles was especially demanding given the limited head room. “The height of the drill rig mast was about eight feet, six inches,” said Beldyga. “Measuring from the floor to the structural steel above in certain areas, we only had nine feet of head room for drilling.” Adding further complexity, the cobblestonefilled soil wore down the starter casing and drill bits, leading to the need for frequent repairs and changing of the drill bits. Because of the limited head room and soil conditions, the micro-piles were drilled into the ground only 30 inches at a time until reaching a depth of 35 to 50 feet. Plus, “we had to unhook the casing from the power head of the drill rig every time,” said Beldyga. Barton Malow drilled 24 hours a day to compensate for this rather time-consuming process. “We averaged about 2.5 micro-piles in a 10-hour shift,” said Beldyga. “We drilled

four on our best day.” The entire process took around six weeks for the interior drilling and three to four weeks in the open air. “Typically, we could drill about 12 micropiles a day on the exterior in a 10-hour shift,” said Beldyga. A HIGHER EDUCATION Barton Malow worked in a congested area of campus, closely hemmed in by two buildings, a roadway and People’s Park. “Planning, sequencing the work properly and scheduling trucks on an hourly basis whenever we had materials coming in or out eased working on this very tight jobsite,” said Beldyga. The tight site influenced the installation of the building enclosure composed of brick veneer, limestone, metal panels and glass curtain wall. “Because of the tight site and because we were building over top of an existing building, we weren’t able to use our typical scaffolding systems,” said Beldyga. “In many areas of the building, we couldn’t get close enough with man-lifts or hydromobile scaffolds.”

“Voice Of The Construction Industry”®

For this reason, much of the building enclosure was installed using conventional scaffolding, and much of the scaffolding was built on top of the existing building’s roof. “We had to spread the load of the scaffolding and all the materials on the scaffold across the roofing system,” said Hausler. “We had to reinforce the existing bar joists, essentially installing a shoring system to spread the load across the bar joists on top of the roof.” The new roof is an inverted roof system with the insulation outside of the membrane. The project team installed a vegetated roof on the single-story addition, and working within budget, also installed a vegetated roof on the east side of B Wing after reinforcement of the existing structure. LEAVE NO STONE UNINSTALLED Installing 4,301 pieces of limestone was the most demanding part of in the building enclosure phase. The stone not only had to be applied in a random ashlar pattern, but many of the pieces had to have their own support system details and backup

structures, said Hollister. Shop drawings had to be prepared to correctly produce a complex layering of support structures for the different stone pieces. Hanging the stone pieces as horizontal soffits proved to be especially challenging. “We had to create a fairly large framework of tube steel as part of the support structure,” said Hollister. In many cases, seven different steps were needed to hang the stone. “It was about a seven-part process from the structural steel to actually setting a stone piece,” said Beldyga. “Obviously, we had structural steel, and then we had our secondary steel for stone support. But we even had two different layers of stone support beyond the secondary support steel. We actually had a whole bunch of clips we had to weld on prior to actually framing it in.” The seven-step process included applying spray foam insulation on the structural steel, followed by installation of metal stud framing and Dens glass, applying an air and vapor barrier, and then installing final stone clips before finally setting the actual stone, said Beldyga. Installing polished concrete flooring in the B Wing corridors and lobbies presented a host of interior issues. A specific mix had to be approved and grinding had to be controlled to achieve the desired finegrained salt and pepper finish devoid of large, exposed aggregate. Adding another level of complexity, the polished concrete flooring was placed, ground and polished before interior fit-out. The interior metal studs, the MEP work and the ceilings were all installed with the flooring in place, requiring Barton Malow to protect the floors throughout interior fit-out with a layer of felt followed by a half-inch layer of plywood. “Once we peeled up all the plywood at the end of construction, we did a final polish on the floors to bring back their shine,” said Beldyga. MEETING THE FUTURE Barton Malow kept the schedule on track throughout each demanding phase. “We had to make sure we never lost track of two major dates: Having the existing classrooms open after a one-year shutdown and keeping construction of the addition on track to achieve final completion in the beginning of the summer,” said Hollister. Stachowiak adds, “The existing B Wing lecture halls could only be sacrificed for one year of the two-year construction period. For this reason, the structure, building envelope and updated fire alarm systems had to be completed in the first year to allow re-occupancy midway through the “Voice Of The Construction Industry”®

construction process.” Barton Malow reached substantial completion of the building in late May 2012, allowing faculty to move into their new offices in early June 2012 before leaving for the summer. “There was an extensive relocation effort needed to move offices from four other campus buildings to Wells Hall,” said Hollister. The end result of this formidable effort is a Wells Hall expansion built to serve a sustainable and multi-cultural future. The building meets the challenge of sustainability with an air handling system containing a 15 motor fan wall for energy efficiency. An energy analysis demonstrated that replacing the B Wing’s existing constant volume air handlers with new variable air volume units, equipped with highly efficient fan wall technology, yielded impressive energy reductions, said Stachowiak. Other sustainability measures include low-flow plumbing fixtures, rapidly renewable materials such as cork flooring, low VOC products, lighting control systems, daylight harvesting and lighting design utilizing highly efficient LED light sources. “A high-performance envelope, occupancy sensors and CO2 monitoring also contributed to reduced energy consumption relative to thermal comfort,” added Stachowiak. “The design of the building produced an energy efficiency that exceeds the ASHRAE Standard by 30 percent.” With its host of energy-efficient and collaborative spaces, the newly expanded Wells Hall will inspire students to join the drive for sustainability and will prepare students to work collaboratively in a global economy. Thanks to the professional expertise of Barton Malow Company, Integrated Design Solutions and Hamilton Anderson Associates and the entire project team, the students of today will be prepared for the world of tomorrow.

MovinCool Moisture-Removal Technology Assists WaterDamage Recovery Speeds up Drying, Prevents Mold from Forming or Spreading Every year, seasonal storms and floods cause interior water damage to untold numbers of houses and buildings. In these situations, MovinCool® portable spot air conditioners, manufactured by DENSO Corporation, can play an essential role, because these units can do more than just cool the air. They can also dry out wet environments faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. The most essential task in water-damage restoration is to prevent mold from forming or spreading further, and to accomplish this, moisture and humidity must be removed as fast as possible. MovinCool’s dehumidification technology uses powerful, industrial-grade blowers to pull in large volumes of moisture-laden air then push out equally large volumes of dry air. This produces significantly faster results than with fans or dehumidifiers, reducing restoration costs. “Our portable spot air conditioners are well known for their ability to provide quick emergency cooling relief, but they are just as effective in moisture removal,” said David Keller, manager, Heat Management Department. “One of their biggest advantages is that they need almost no installation. You just roll them in, plug them in, attach the dry-air exhaust duct and turn them on. Right away they start doing their job.” For more information about MovinCool moisture-removal capabilities, visit www.movincool.com/portabledehumidifier.php. MovinCool offers a wide range of portable and ceiling-mount air conditioning systems for many different applications, such as emergency, backup and supplemental cooling, as well as moisture removal.
