The Eagle Nest Club will be Phase III in an adaptive reuse project aimed at activating the dated coliseum. This was my senior project. I decided to coincide with two co-workers and classmates on a Sporting Event Center. It included phase I: Team Locker Rooms & Team Spaces by Emma Marland, Phase II: Concessions by Carmel Quemado & Phase III: Eagle Nest Club by me. The dated coliseum hosts many events such as basketball and volleyball games, gymnastics and cheerleading competitions, graduations, Freshman orientation, concerts and other events. The venue is most often student’s and families’ first and last impressions of the University of North Texas. After performing a site analysis for the club I noticed that there was plenty student housing in the vicinity but many of the places to eat, hang out and study were across campus. The Eagle Nest club is designed to compliment the coliseum and it’s multiple functions by providing a place that is able

to cater to these needs, but is also capable of hosting large banquets by opening up completely to the arena for a free flowing event. This rendering shows a view from the dining area into the bar. Accessibility from both the outside and the inside of the building was important to the validity of the club but with the existing space sitting below street level at -17’-9” accessibility would prove to be a major challenge. Strategically tiering the slabs created three levels helping to reduce ramp lengths allowing movement from the arena level to the bar and patio level with ease. A glass elevator in the center of the bar takes visitors from the Ground Level (5’-0” above street level) of the coliseum down to the Eagle Nest Club’s bar. Where you can choose to sit out on the patio and study, or cheer on the UNT basketball team court side, behind the Nana Wall at Arena Level.

“THE SUPER PIT”
The coliseum as a whole is a large venue.
The club is just a component of this whole. Which means an ADAPTIVE REUSE project aimed at converting the functionally obsolete space for new program requirements.

With the location again being below grade how can we incorporate as much NATURAL LIGHT and VENTILATION as possible?
On the forefront of the design process the need for natural light was a dominating factor and design driver. With the existing new space for the club currently living below grade this was going to be the first major challenge. Before the eye catching glass facade and monitors that would bring sunlight throughout the ground level were finalized, the above solar studies were taken to see the results. With the only available space for the club being on the north side of a very tall building you can see that the club will not always be lit by the sun. In the end the design allowed for an adequate amount of natural light penetrating the space.
Photovoltaic Glass
Operable Windows
The location of the club within the coliseum is below grade. Yet ACCESS from the street level is important to support the versatility of the space.

Onyx Solar produces transparent photovoltaic glass that will be used for the monitors and glass facade. this will give us a bonus for not just allowing plenty of natural light in but also absorbing the sun’s energy to help power artificial lights used in the evenings. During these studies it was also observed that the coliseum has a large flat roof that sits in a perfect geographical location to host solar panels for additional energy production in the future.
The Floorplan reveals the use of movable furniture creating a flexible environment that could host a variety of functions. The green metallic epoxy floor marks the path the players take on their way out to court before every game. Club visitor’s can come early to cheer on the players on their way out to play. Spaces that will need access to plumbing such as the restrooms and kitchen are placed closest to the existing plumbing in the locker rooms. Accessible circulation paths became a form giver important space planning element. The necessary ramps gave perfect opportunity to create more private areas, adding variety to seating options.

The section view also depicts the monitors and glass elevator that serve as avenues for natural light to penetrate the underground space as much as possible. Planters built-in to the back of the monitors at Ground Level provide the opportunity for a rainwater catching system and a nice garden to visit on your way into the coliseum to your event.

SECONDARY WAITING AREA
My partner, Emily Estrada and I set out to create an atmosphere with southern charm. The aesthetic was acheived through the use of rustic design elements such as barrel booths made from reclaimed whiskey barrels and other materials such as wood, copper, and corrugated metal. An enclosed glass smoker is the focal point of the dining room, a wine cellar provides an opportunity for guests to pick out their own bottle to pair with their meal, and the variety of seating options
allow the hotel restaraunt to accomodate private parties, family get togethers, as well as intimate dining experiences A small waiting area close to the maitre d’sits within the restaraunt while a larger waiting area invites guests to socialize just outside of the restaraunt during busy hours. Server stations are strategically placed for wait staff to move about the restaraunt efficiently while minimizing conflict with guest’s circulation. Large rotating doors separate 9
the reception area from the hotel lobby, their ability to close and lock provide security after hours. The restaraunt’s logo is cut out of the wooden garage-style door and lined with copper. The sign cantilevers over the heads of guests during open bar hours, and mechanically closes the bar from the hotel lobby after hours. The sliding hammered metal garage doors that flank the bar allows the bar to remain open after the restaraunt closes.
AMERICAN SOUTH: ENLARGED BAR FLOORPLAN
With my background in the restaurant industry specifically, Beverage Department Management I was able to design a fully functional bar. Copper plated 2”x2” square steel poles are used as the structure for the back bar providing plenty of storage and walk-throughs for
easy flow throughout the double sided bar. Reach-in refrigerators are located in the center of the back bar structure, flanking the cash registers. Four kegerators, under counter reach-ins, bottle display shelves, and glass racks are all stored within the back bar for easy access. A keg room was

added for quick access to the local Texas beer kegs and bottles. The dish-pit is off to the side away from the bar wells and guests, and finally the service well’s arched design allows for the waiters and waitresses to stand in front of their service well waiting for their drinks out the way of guest traffic.

Gourmet Chef High-Rise Software used: Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
The Gourmet Chef’s City High-rise was designed for a bachelor who loves to entertain friends and family. The apartment is finished with high-end stainless steel appliances. The large island in the middle of the public spaces allows the chef to host culinary parties centered around his passion for cooking. Butcher block counter tops were used for the cook-top while the bar counter is finished with fine walnut burl. The rest of the space is comfortable with huge windows overlooking downtown Dallas. The client wanted a personalized apartment that inspires and supports his passion for the culinary arts. Features such as the colander pendant lamps, chef paintings, a convenient fresh herb garden in the kitchen, and a large chalkboard to artistically display the menu for the evening’s culinary event give the apartment just the right amount of culinary flare.

Accessible Home This project was about honing my space planning abilities. Given only exterior walls, ceiling heights,and three levels, the third one with limited standing room, I designed an accessible home with sustainability in mind. A family of four; a mother, a father, and two children, who have a live-in relative confined to a wheelchair were the residents. The family needed to redesign their home so
that their disabled relative could independently roam throughout. The first view here is of the quiet living room on the third level. A dormer was added to allow more standing space. An elevator was necessary so that access to all three levels were granted to the person in need. The third level was almost entirely dedicated the kids giving them their own spaces. This

triangle providing full range of height and accessible toe-kick as well as a roll under sink and cooktop are important elements in this kitchen providing the necessary accommodations. One type of flooring was strategically used on each level in order to minimize thresholds, making it easier to maneuver in a wheelchair.
The accessible yet beautiful kitchen has many great features catering to the family’s needs. The island’s design curves away from the sink to allow a five foot turning radius in the center of the working

Concept
When a company chooses to cross paths with NCH the company strives to form a friendship based relationship. This bond can be compared to the same bond a wire knot makes when connecting wire in a system that will eventually form a fence. The end result is a more effective system that the individual wires on their own could not form without the binding elements of the knotted relationship between the two filaments. NCH was established in 1919. Today they are one of the leading global chemical, maintenance, and supplies companies in the world. One of the company’s founding philosophies is “The individual is the most important thing.” -Milton P. Levi, Founder This attitude is a staple to the NCH culture, three principles are said to be the most important elements to the success of their company: 1. Helping others succeed by supporting their business needs and providing high quality products and services. 2. Treating employees like the most important thing. 3. Being environmentally responsible
18
These three principles guide the need for a new type of office for NCH. The new office is an Internal Research Group essential to reach the company’s sustainable goals by ensuring that their own production processes are minimizing the companies carbon footprint. The focused research group will be a hub that aggressively implements the most technologically advanced efficient and safe practices company wide.
