Corporate “Street” The Advanced Technology Center was planned as an expansion to an existing manufacturing and support facility, with a building program that included training facilities, demonstration cleanroom, dining rooms, auditorium and corporate offices. In addition, Axcelis wanted a facility image that was readily identifiable and recognizable worldwide.

IAT011012223112PDX

Achieving these goals required substantial changes to the existing building entrances, spatial relationships, and site-wide circulation patterns. The resulting design solution expresses the diverse programming functions through the interplay of three building volumes around a stone-clad curved wall. The curved wall helps to create a dynamic building form that marks both the new site and building’s entry and defines the corporate circulation “street.” Serving as the building lobby and demonstration cleanroom viewing corridor, the corporate street is the unifying interior element, establishing a primary circulation pathway bridging the new and existing buildings. Designed to facilitate the flow of pedestrian traffic, the “street” also includes features that allow people to observe the cleanroom manufacturing process, view the art gallery, or collaborate with fellow employees and customers. The palette of materials reinforces the design concept, with paved stone flooring, floor-toceiling glass viewing panels, warm wood gallery walls, and a fluid wave-like ceiling.

Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Lynnwood, Washington, USA Project Statistics Area: 101,000 SF Completion: 2006 Cost: $70,000,000

Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Complex This new biopharmaceutical production facility manufactures Luekine (sargramostim), a recombinant yeast-expressed therapeutic protein that is used in cancer supportive care. The facility’s specialized cleanrooms will be fully FDA/ISO/EUR qualified and licensed. The facility consolidates Bayer’s manufacturing and administrative functions (previously spread across the metropolitan area) in a three-story structure, housing production suites, laboratories, warehousing, and support areas. Corporate Image The client requested a design that would evoke a sense of cleanliness with a distinct Northwest character. The design evolved to meet the client’s goal of cleanliness by limiting the palette of materials, specifically choosing those that featured fine detail and crisp edges. The Northwest criteria were achieved by making the building appear to grow from the land, blurring the distinction between inside and out, expressing the nature of materials, and embracing views of the natural setting. The design nestles the utility functions into a hillside, minimizing visual impact on an adjacent residential neighborhood. Ready-mix cast-in-place and tilt-up concrete were favored for construction economy and flexibility, providing stout structure and durable cladding simultaneously. Long, horizontal reveals were designed to create the crisp edges and fine shadow lines that express cleanliness, as well as provide human scale.

The grooved concrete walls continue inside the twostory lobby, blurring the line between indoors and out, and beckoning visitors and employees to take a closer look. At night, lights set into the floor below illuminate the grooves accentuating the wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special character. Clean flat glass and aluminum panels complete the palette, reflecting the color of the sky and diminishing the apparent size of the large building forms. The material choices and applications allow the building to complement its environment while fully expressing the materials themselves.

Flexibility for Growth To support the long-term plans for the campus, the program of offices, laboratories, warehouse, and clean manufacturing was arranged about a multi-story spine, supporting the circulation of people, materials, and utilities. Connecting each functional module to the shared spine allows independent expansion without impacting other modules while also providing a connection point for the addition of functional modules. A plug-and-play scheme was developed for production equipment, which was installed in flexible, skid-mounted units. To minimize investment in excess capacity, the central utility building (CUB) was sized only for the first phase and initial module expansions; additional modules will be supported by a future CUB. FDA/ISO/EUR Standards A major challenge for the design team was to ensure the facility met manufacturing cleanliness and product quality standards imposed by multiple domestic and foreign regulatory agencies. IDC Architectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; international experience in the pharmaceutical industry proved invaluable, ensuring these requirements were implemented in the final program and design. Examples of design solutions included detailing that minimizes horizontal surfaces and provides smooth transitions between walls, floors and ceilings, and specialized finishes that resist the frequent application of strong cleaning solutions.

Natural Daylighting As a worldwide leader in environmental design and engineering, one of the client’s goals was to build a LEED certified campus that implemented sustainable design technologies and environmentally sensitive practices. Going beyond the selection of sustainable materials and energy efficient design to obtain LEED Silver certification, the design sought opportunities to increase employee productivity and satisfaction as well.

Collaborative Environment Another key goal was creating an atmosphere that fostered collaboration between corporate and regional employees and increased productivity. IDC Architects ( a subdivision of CH2M HILL) examined solutions regarding work space and office functionality, meeting and collaborative space characteristics, work patterns, and common space interaction such as copy/ coffee/break/mail support functions, cafeteria seating configurations, and wireless networking technology.

One such opportunity was maximizing the penetration of natural light into the floor space. This was achieved by centralizing the building’s support functions into a longitudinal core, locating conference rooms adjacent to the central elevator vestibules, and laying out an open office environment around the perimeter. Additionally, hard wall offices were restricted to the ends of the buildings and directly adjacent to the core. Clerestory windows were installed in these offices to allow natural light to penetrate and transfer through the space.

We created employee interaction space by crafting six different configurations, ranging from traditional closed conference rooms to informal lounge seating, interspersed throughout the work environment. Support functions, including the areas for photocopying, coffee service, break rooms, and mail rooms, were grouped together and centralized to encourage informal communication through normal daily activities.

Our solutions for the cafeteria included five different seating configurations, ranging from individual tables to six-person booths enabled with power and data connections. Other areas were partially segregated with moveable wood space dividers to accommodate informal lunch meetings. We incorporated campuswide wireless networking technology, including in the exterior courtyard, where employees can work individually or conduct meetings while enjoying the many sunny Colorado days. The success of the new headquarters has exceeded expectations, providing greater employee satisfaction, increased collaboration, and elevated productivity. Tracking Number

Clemson University Anderson, South Carolina, USA Project Statistics Area: 10,310 m2 Completion: July 2004 Cost: $18,500,000 (US)

Advanced Materials Research Laboratory (AMRL) Clemson University’s Advanced Materials Research Laboratory (AMRL) consolidates nanotechnology, electronic instrument device and laser labs, chemistry labs, and cleanroom space for educational activities and industry research. This cornerstone building is a critical initiative for Clemson to promote advanced materials research grants, and attract world-class researchers (endowed chairs). Supporting these goals are research, faculty and student offices, meeting rooms, and a two-story central lobby, created as a gathering space for the exchange of ideas. Sustainability, LEED Silver Certification and high-performance building systems are key components of the facility. IDC Architects provided architecture, engineering, stakeholder representation, and construction administration, leading the team of engineers and lab consultants in creating flexible, cutting-edge academic research space. Design issues included flexible laboratory space and electron microscopic sensitivities, isolated independent slabs, acoustic dampening, electronic shielding, vibration analysis, air distribution systems with 66 lab-hoods, cleanroom space, and specialty labs for laser, instrument and draw-tower (fibreoptics) research.

“ An unexpected consequence of the building is that numerous groups have requested the use of its common areas for various functions … It is a testimony to its architects and engineers” Christian E.G. Przirembel Clemson University Vibration and Noise The lab houses a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Instrument, X-Ray Photo Spectrometer (XPS or ESCA), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope/Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM/STEM with resolution of 0.5 to 1 nanometer), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). NIST vibration levels were reviewed but not required. To provide vibration criteria of 250 micro-inches/ second, the design included 12 isolated inertia floor slabs. Each slab is isolated from the wall, and rooms were isolated from one another and the adjacent corridor. To provide noise isolation, the walls around each lab were packed with fibreglass insulation using two layers of gypsum board on each side, establishing a wall sound rating of STC 56. Air distribution diffusers were evaluated and found to be a potential problem in the microscope and wet labs, as electron microscopes are sensitive not only to physical vibration through the building structure, but to air currents as well. Air velocity in front of fume hoods required control, to prevent disruption to the flow of air entering the hoods. IDC Architects addressed these issues, using special radial supply diffusers (Krueger

Model TAD), selected to handle large volumes of air and displace the airflow in the lab at a low velocity, eliminating any air currents and velocity vibration. Attracting Researchers This research facility is intended to attract researchers and industry leaders in the support of the university’s goal of becoming a Top 20 public university in engineering. To this end, emphasis was placed on aesthetic values and the use of quality construction materials. Technical design considerations emphasized control of vibration, EMI, noise and air currents to support highly sophisticated equipment research activities, while building sustainability and flexibility into the design. A major focus was to design flexibility into mechanical systems. A unique feature was a manifold exhaust system with future ports for connecting additional hoods. This also reduced the number of stacks required. EMI Faraday cages limit EMI from labs. Based on empirical data and models prepared by IDC Architects, transformers and major electrical equipment were placed on opposite ends of the building from the beam-based microscope labs. Active cancellation systems were deferred for future installation, if required. Incandescent lighting mitigated lamp ballast EMI in the beam-based microscope rooms. LEED The AMRL was Clemson’s first LEED certified building and was awarded Silver LEED certification. IDC Architects led an eco-charrette at the project’s outset, involving all stakeholders, to generate sustainable design strategies and build consensus for the best “whole-building” solutions. IDC Architects managed the LEED certification process for the client to meet all USGBC requirements. Primary discipline leads on the team were LEED Accredited Professionals™.

IAT030212022616PDX

Purposeful, Flexible Planning When this bioscience client engaged IDCA to perform a site analysis of nearly 20 acres in 2004, the campus consisted of approximately 136,000 SF of research, production, administration, and support space distributed among eight buildings. IDCA’s site master plan increased the North Campus building area from 136,000 GSF to 289,000 GSF. In addition, the master plan recommended approximately 192,000 GSF of facilities with the addition of a South Campus. IDCA’s site analysis resulted in a master plan with several key benefits. A dramatic site sequence offered visitors a main entry from the adjacent street to the central office, parking service for staff located at the rear of the facility, and centralized service access. Additionally, IDCA’s master plan offered contiguous greenspace with simplified circulation, and multiple configurations to enable future siting of an operations building. Among the features proposed to enhance the campus were: an outdoor plaza with a pavilion; a grand exterior stair from the plaza to the upper courtyard; Building D cafeteria with outdoor terrace; full site fencing; and an additional entry to Building C, separating the childcare area from the employee area. Since 1998, IDCA has collaborated closely with this bioscience client on its campus in Eugene, helping to achieve its mission of serving the international scientific community.

Design Challenge The client wanted a cost-effective facility that would attract, retain and empower the world’s leading researchers in the field of advanced microelectronics. To support this vision IDC Architects conceived an “incubating” environment that offered a lively and refreshing atmosphere for a diverse group of research and development staff. The facility layout was organized to incorporate “interactive” spaces with the cafeteria, classrooms, and informal meeting areas to foster the collaborative atmosphere essential in maintaining the industry leader’s edge. ©2012 IDC Architects Confidential and Proprietary

IAT030112013107PDX

Interactive Spaces The 35,400 square foot cafeteria design embodies an invigorating atmosphere where employees can socialize and interact with their colleagues. Designed with the theme of bringing the outdoors inside, the 1,400-seat cafeteria implemented a vibrant natural color scheme and material palette along with plenty of natural day lighting and an exterior dining courtyard. The natural landscape is implied in the design palette of curvilinear forms and native plant colors and textures. The progression of spaces is organized along these curved forms with the individual spaces defined by changes in material, color and ceiling height. The kitchen servery space incorporates a fall harvest color scheme integrated with the design concept of “kitchen as open theater,” emphasizing cooking made-to-order entrees using fresh ingredients. Freestanding walls in the dining areas are articulated by punched openings that capture views into adjacent

areas and the exterior courtyard. Individual dining areas are connected by patterns in the floor that continue through to the outside dining courtyard, which is populated by plant material found in the surrounding wetlands. These plants—plums, ochres of autumn leaves, greens of spring, summer grasses and red berries that relate to seasonal change—are the basis for the colors, patterns, and materials found within the cafeteria. The result is a series of flowing spaces that provide a dynamic and refreshing environment. High Efficiency and Low Cost In an effort to design a cost efficient facility without compromising quality, several high efficiency and low cost building systems were employed throughout the building. These include thermally-improved building shell systems, low temperature supply air to reduce duct sizes, heat recovery chilled water system, variable frequency drives on large motors for increased efficiency, water reduction, recycling and reclaim measures, and advanced PLC-based building.

Scientific Collaboration Laboratories were grouped by type to maximize efficiency, creating separate zones for chemistry and biology, research, and production. However, as collaboration between these groups is the key to future product innovation, interaction between the zones became the driving force in the layout, resulting in the “neighborhood” concept. The project team investigated how space, light and views defined by street intersections and urban plazas create neighborhoods where spontaneous interaction occurs along common paths of travel. Buildings define open spaces and movement; plazas fill with daylight; view corridors focus on local landmarks, encouraging people to pause and interact.

“This building has improved workflow as well as raising the morale of our staff . . . . . . while we clearly have a state-of-the-art facility, we have also gained the most effective recruiting tool a company in our industry could ask for.” ~ Elaine Snowhill, PhD, Vice President IAT030212022943PDX

Such principles helped create a thriving, diverse collaborative research environment arranged along a “main street” in functional blocks, forming a network of cross-streets and varied open spaces, where staff from different teams will cross paths. Public squares comprised of two-story entrance lobbies, open stairwells, a library café and auditorium anchor the street at both ends. Skylights and light wells mark key intersections, drawing people to shared equipment rooms and informal collaboration areas. Incorporating light and views from many vantage points in a traditionally dark, lab intensive program created opportunities to increase visual and intellectual connectivity within the community. Affordable High-Performance High performance laboratory facilities with strong life-cycle cost returns were important to the client’s mission. Performance was measured by building systems efficiency, layout flexibility, and productivity gains in work environment and optimized work flow. Segregating the high-exhaust and utility-intensive chemistry labs from the biology labs as independent, multi-story zones optimized HVAC design, and let both floors be served with a single utility lateral. IDCA’s team of designers and cost estimators ensured that mechanical systems were “right-sized” and designed for minimum energy usage.

from the exhaust air stream, while variable pumps adjust speed to demand. Phoenix valves optimize hood airflow based on sash position. Optimum work flow and flexibility for future operations was assured by the design of large, open lab suites with multifunction benches. Programs and functions can streamline or change completely over time—without renovation. Multipurpose, shared equipment rooms further enhance lab flexibility, while reducing overall building size. The work space features circulation paths, that provide daylight and views to the outside from all points. Three-dimensional planning of utility zones minimized interstitial depth, increasing window and ceiling heights for improved daylighting and indirect artificial lighting performance in the labs. Crossover zones between the laboratory blocks opened the main corridor for skylights and two-story light wells, bringing daylight into the offices and common areas. Campus Context The client wanted the this building to match the glass and masonry of the previous two buildings designed by IDC Architects, however the new building size, budget, and schedule made traditional masonry construction prohibitive. IDCA turned to the approach of tilt-up concrete panels with integrally-cast, thinbrick facing to meet the requirements. With special attention to detailing and careful massing, the Science Building is a handsome companion to existing buildings despite its different size and construction type. The common element of multi-story, glazed entry lobbies, with glass art commissioned for each project, tie the main campus buildings together. The Science Building was sited to form one edge of the future campus courtyard, a key element designed by IDCA in the client’s new master plan. IDCA’s long-term relationship with this client, including three major buildings and the campus master plan, reflects their trust and confidence in our ability to help them achieve their strategic mission.

Corporate Office Seismic Upgrade Leading a multidisciplined design team, IDC Architects performed a seismic upgrade of this corporate office building on the company’s Corvallis, Oregon, campus. Through an intense design charrette and the incorporation of emerging seismic engineering principles, we developed a solution that accomplished the client’s goal of orienting visitors and vendors to a new campus front door, while economically upgrading and modernizing the facility.

Campus Entry Through the reconfiguration of vehicular circulation and site landscaping, a new ”vista” to the campus entry was created. A site entry sequence was developed and reinforced by the introduction of landscape wall elements, plantings, and the creation of a new paved entry plaza. This sequence of planning elements culminates at a dynamic new building entry and lobby. ©2012 IDC Architects Confidential and Proprietary

Leaving the existing corporate office building envelope as a relatively unadorned background, a new two-story high glazed lobby addition, back lit by the adjacent translucent glazed stair, creates a bold entry lantern. A stone clad wall pierces the glazed lobby and directs visitors to the entry while also creating a secluded garden visible through random openings in the wall and from the lobby. The private garden, featuring native plants, sculptures and a blend of sunlit and shaded seating areas, is a tranquil retreat accessible to employees and special guests. Innovative Engineering Use of seismic un-bonded “K” braces, a new engineering principle, reduced the number of required braces by half and greatly reduced construction costs. This system incorporates diagonal steel tubes filled with concrete along with a flat bar running down the middle of the tube. The steel bars, rather than the tubes, are connected to the vertical members of the steel frame. The frame sits on concrete footings anchored by pinpiles, multiple steel rods that extend about 50 feet underground and are held in place by concrete. The steel bars give the system its advantage. Coated with a proprietary material developed by Nippon Steel, the bars slide within their concrete sheaths, absorbing some of the destructive force of an earthquake before it reaches the supporting frame. Additionally, the expressive “K” brace provides a modern element unifying the overall project. This latest upgrade to the client’s Corvallis campus reflects a fresh design aesthetic based on the strengths and character of the existing buildings.

Since that time the client has invited our firm to participate in design competitions with several of the world’s premier architectural firms, including Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Mulvanny G2, the German firm GMP, RMJM, Gensler, and TFP (Terry Farrell & Partners). In the latest of these design competitions, a panel of expert architects convened by Huawei scored IDCA the highest among the three competing firms.

IAT020112204251PDX

This research campus is comprised of laboratory/ office buildings, dining and conference facilities, and site support buildings totaling over 3,230,000 square feet spread over a 69-acre site. Extensive below-grade structured parking is also required. The challenging project site presents complex issues of vehicular and pedestrian circulation, urban context, and geotechnical features. As Huawei’s vision for the R&D campus evolved, we worked closely with them to integrate changing needs into our master plan and building designs. In December 2010, and again in January 2011, we were invited to present a new design concept to a panel of expert Chinese architects and Huawei’s CEO.

A serpentine circulation spine connects site open areas with the buildings, which are arranged in pairs to create a series of welcoming entry plazas.

The new master planning concept is based on the deliberate contrast between a pastoral site design and the geometrically rigorous buildings.

The buildings are oriented to the take advantage of the daylight, with narrow floorplates and integral shading devices. The broad, glazed facades float above the site on pilotis, while being framed by a composition of solid metal panels which anchor the composition to the ground. The campus is expected to support over 15,000 of Huawei’s 87,500 employees. The project is slated for completion in 2014. Our work with Huawei has been a collaborative effort between staff in Portland, Oregon; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Shanghai, China; Taiwan; and Singapore, proving we can exceed client expectations on a range of architectural challenges, anywhere in the world.

As winner of five design awards, Infineon’s campus in Sandston, Virginia illustrates the value IDC Architects can bring to both master planning and design of fast-track projects. The design team provided clear functional zoning while conserving the site’s existing natural features and “humanizing” the high-tech industrial workplace.

Assembly and Testing Building

The first phase of a planned four phase project was a joint venture between Motorola and Siemens Semiconductor, later purchased by Infineon Technologies. The project included a six building office and manufacturing campus. Initial construction for a 200mm wafer fab was completed in 11 months. The Richmond campus was intended to serve as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing and advanced technology on the East Coast. Our subsidiary, IDC Architects completed the design for the facility’s shell and construction of Fab 1 in 1998. Fab 2 (300mm) was completed with a cleanroom fitup and other interior modifications. Through IDC Architects’ code consultation, Infineon was able to optimize the facility’s usage of space to maximize tool quantity and efficiency.

Fab 1 received ISO 9002 certification in December 1998. The facility quickly achieved this verficiation of quality because its quality systems and processes were “built in” from the beginning at a high level. In order to meet the aggressive schedule, IDC Architects assigned a project manager to the owner’s staff to facilitate communications. The design team leads were assigned to the construction site to provide immediate response to construction issues and questions. The manufacturing area has a bay-and-chase layout, with a Class M1 clean area. The lithography and wet areas were in a ballroom layout.

Challenges overcome and value engineering contributions included: Using pre-cast bridge girders to clear span the manufacturing areas and to reduce the construction schedule by a month. The use of an inexpensive profiled metal to clad the building exterior to reduce cost, creating a campus amenity out of a required retention pond.

Promoting Collaboration One of the most important elements of Invitrogen’s culture is the creative staff interaction that occurs throughout the workday. The campus master plan is designed to preserve and enhance this interaction by siting and arranging buildings with the specific intent of fostering the chance meetings and spontaneous collaboration so crucial to the company’s creative progress. The curving form of the auditorium leads people to the entry from the central courtyard. In both buildings, the main public spaces, lobby, boardroom and cafe are organized directly on the shared courtyard, reinforcing staff interaction. “Encounter” spaces occur along circulation pathways, including interior balconies that overlook the atrium with views to the eastern mountains. Transparent glass public spaces intersect with office areas to create open meeting places for researchers and corporate staff. Offices are carefully arranged to achieve a balance between collaborative laboratory work and the privacy required for concentration and reflection. Spaces between offices are designed to foster informal and creative interchange between researchers. Attracting New Talent The company’s ambitious growth plans depend upon creating a workplace to attract the best talent in the industry. The new buildings have shifted the campus feel from “workshop” to “professional laboratory and office.” The multi-purpose research, production, office and meeting facility is designed to be adaptable to future technologies. Natural light permeates the building through open office planning, glazed corridor walls and the two-story atrium. One-of-a-kind custom glass panels, using the company’s fluorescent dyes, are proudly displayed in the building lobby.

Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Taejeon, Korea Project Statistics Area: 165,000 GSF Completion: October 2004 Cost: $50,000,000

Nanotechnology Research Center The nanotechnology facility for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology provides laboratories for nanoscale electronics, electromechanical devices and biotechnology research to support Korean industry. The program required two levels of Class 100T/1,000/10,000 cleanrooms to support Extreme Ultra-violet (EUV) and beam-based lithography, metrology, thin films, device physics, diffusion and etching processes. The program also included a multi-story office wing and a central utility building housing process support utilities, mechanical systems and electrical equipment. IDCÂ Architects provided all architectural and engineering services for the research complex, teaming with a local construction firm to deliver the project.

Construction: Steel Frame Services Provided Site Evaluation Programming Architectural Design Engineering Design Instrument Planning Basis of Design Report Program Elements Micro/Nano/MEMS Laboratories Biology Laboratories Class 100T/10,000 Cleanrooms Vibration/EMI Control Offices Conference

Vibration Control Vibration criteria for a portion of the lower level cleanroom was NIST-A, with a displacement limitation of 1 micron at 1-20 hertz and a velocity limitation of 3 microns/second at 20-100 hertz. The upper level cleanroom vibration criteria was VC-B with an acceleration limitation of 1260 microns/ second at 4-8 hertz and a velocity limitation of 25 microns/second at 8-80 hertz. Our team achieved these goals using multiple approaches. First, the lower level subfab was located below grade, which allowed the exterior basement walls to double as shear walls, enhancing horizontal vibration performance for the NIST-A areas. Second, utility piping and ductwork in the two subfab levels were isolated from the columns and overhead waffle slab via supports directly to the subfab floors.

Finally, it was recommended that speed bumps be eliminated and smooth asphalt or concrete replace the brick paving on the existing perimeter road. Flexibility KAIST needed room for growth, and the ability to simultaneously house a varied range of industrial users in the laboratories. We designed the six-story office wing for future expansion to eight stories, and included a variety of private and open offices, conference rooms, and collaboration spaces to adapt to changing needs. Laboratory suites, complete with basic utilities, fume hoods, and wet sinks, were arranged to support a hoteling usage concept. To conserve valuable program space, each cleanroom level has a dedicated subfab. The variety of potential nanotechnology processes required flexibility in the process gas system design. Space and distribution piping was provided for up to five different truck or tube-trailer delivered bulk gases (N2, O2, Ar, H2, He), as well as storage and/ or distribution of as many as 31 cylinder-supplied specialty gases. Code and life safety issues relative to storage, transfer, and piped supply of the various gases (inerts, toxics, pyrophorics, flammables, corrosives, and oxidizers) was of special concern, as was materials selection for achieving the highest possible purity levels. Piping materials selected to achieve the client’s purity goals included Hastelloy C-22 for corrosives, coaxial electropolished (EP) 316L stainless steel for toxics, and single-wall EP 316L stainless steel for inerts, flammables, and oxidizers.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Control Vertical integration of the two cleanroom and utility levels made EMI control a critical issue. IDC Architects recommended EMI control be achieved by maintaining physical separation between EMI sources and EMI-susceptible process and metrology equipment rather than by shielding. To control EMI in the design, our firm applied its extensive database on magnetic field strength versus distance for various types of electrical distribution equipment (transformers, cables, motors, switchboards and panelboards, etc.). Other sources of low frequency magnetic fields were large metal objects in motion such as elevators, which can interfere with the electron beam sweep pattern in Scanning- and Transmission Electron Microscopes (SEMS and TEMS), and to a lesser degree with Focused Ion Beam (FIB) equipment. This was overcome by the careful planning of equipment locations. Twisted power conductors and heavier metal conduit were specified to further reduce the low-frequency magnetic field associated with power circuits. Our design provided KAIST with one of the world’s leading nanotechnology research centers, able to adapt to a wide range of users and processes to support innovation and growth in Korea’s nanotechnology industry.

Center for Manufacturing and Infrastructure Engineering Manufacturing 21 Coalition is a private-public partnership formed in 2005 to promote innovation in Oregon and southwest Washington’s materials industries. A key objective was to create the Center for Manufacturing and Infrastructure Engineering, a resource for collaborative applied research and development in the Pacific Northwest. The ultimate vision: to bridge communities where industry, education and civic life are understood as a single interdependent enterprise. Funding IDC Architects helped the coalition develop a building program, basis of design, and a Class 5 cost estimate for funding approval and site selection. The deliverable included design reports and public presentations to local and state government officials who support the coalition’s lobbying efforts.

IAT030512054221PDX

Portland State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Structural Engineering Lab, we developed a room program based on interviews, company questionnaires, and best practices. Through efficient planning and a collaborative approach to sharing functions between the coalition of represented companies, we achieved an overall space reduction of 28%. Three-dimensional massing studies were developed, integrating the planning requirements with the visionary goals of the Coalition and creating a dynamic facility. The combination of building program, planning layouts and detailed massing/material studies let the design team develop an early cost estimate for the research center, benchmarking funding requirements. Building Program The building program consists of three main areas: R&D, Education, and Office/Building Support. The 40-foot high-bay large scale seismic testing area is centrally located and linked on either side by two 25-foot high-bay open lab areas and support spaces. This tripartite configuration allows maximum flexibility, spanning all lab areas across the width of the building, encouraging people, experiments and materials to flow and expand throughout the ground floor.

The Education component spans the spectrum of teaching, from tours by K-12 school groups to support for local community colleges. Along with tours, a two-story vendor display/entrance lobby showcases the future of materials research, giving members a chance to display their expertise. The lobby connects to additional display areas and classrooms through a series of catwalks, allowing view opportunities into research space without disrupting researchers. The central office and meeting areas have direct access to the labs, encouraging cross-discipline interaction. Shared functions such as copy, conference and break areas are co-located to draw people together for the chance meetings that lead to breakthrough discoveries. Sustainability The Center will be a model research facility for sustainable design. The seismic strong floor located below grade will provide optimal thermal mass to be used for temperature control. Skylights and clerestory windows bring natural light to labs and public spaces, and function as natural ventilation stacks. Waste heat produced by the research is captured and re-used. Integrating light shelves with lighting controls helps reduce electrical loads, and low-VOC materials ensure healthy indoor air quality.

The center of the circulation system is the “Great Hall.” In contrast to traditional ceremonial atriums, the Great Hall is an active, multi-functional space housing the café, vertical circulation, rest rooms, and a variety of conference and teaming rooms. The Hall is circumscribed by open walkways, allowing for views across the space and to the outdoors, and anchored by an open stair that connects all three levels.

Daylight sensors monitor lighting to reduce output based on ambient light entering the space. Occupancy sensors reduce pockets of lighting when the space becomes unoccupied. The system reduces the lighting energy consumption by approximately 30-55%.

This configuration allows the Hall to be used as an amphitheater, so the entire MEDRAD community can meet for special occasions.

Additional sustainable design features include underfloor air supply to the office area, with individual control of air flow direction, use of materials without high concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), a recycling program, and high performance building envelope system.

Circulation to the office areas radiates from the Great Hall, with pathways leading to informal alcoves as well as formal conference and team spaces at the perimeter of the building.

The new facility reflects MEDRAD’s commitment to environmental stewardship and energy conservation, while increasing employee productivity and satisfaction.

Glass fronted offices are located towards the core of the floor plate, with open office areas located outboard, providing access to views and daylight. The network of circulation and interaction spaces connects the entire facility and provides a variety of venues for formal and informal collaboration. Anchored by the Great Hall, this ‘nerve’ system is a core concept that provides the Global Center with connectivity, variety, and a strong sense of unity. Sustainable Design Features An automated state-of-the-art lighting control system provides an energy efficient and flexible lighting system. Dimming ballasts are provided in each linear direct/indirect lighting fixture. These ballasts are digitally linked in a ‘network’ connected to a centralized lighting control system that communicates with the Building Automation System.

Murray Hall Assessment and Renovation

Design for Construction:

Feasibility Study Our subsidiary, IDC Architects (IDCA) was selected to assess Murray Hall, located on The Ohio State University Medical Campus, in order to determine the facility’s best use. Murray Hall was built circa 1970 and is approximately 80,000 gross square feet.

Architectural

It is a well-sited building, with frontage on the entrance road to the Medical Center and close proximity to structured parking on the East and a memorial park to the West.

Fire Protection

Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Construction Administration

IDCA studied the condition of the assets and determined the probable costs for repair, upgrade, or renewal of qualified equipment and systems. The condition of each asset was graded so that findings could be separated to distinguish between extensive capital renewal items versus routine maintenance and repair issues. Our team used a customized database program to record, report and summarize assessment and observation data. This program allowed the team to identify the findings of the assessment to the University in formats that were consistent with the operational criteria and protocols of The Ohio State University. The intent of this effort was to use the report and summary cost estimates to develop a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

IAT030712072911PDX

As the final portion of the study, we provided a feasibility study to the University that identified a variety of highest and best uses of the Murray Hall facility, commensurate with the Medical Center’s and the University’s long-term master plan needs. We studied ten different alterations and, with the University, settled on a scheme for lab upgrades that increased the amount of usable lab space within the existing shell of the building. This concept presented a unique solution that provided for progressive and flexible modernization of the facility that will serve The Ohio State University well into the 21st century. Phase One Renovations In late 2007, IDCA was selected again by The Ohio State University to renovate the first and second floors of Murray Hall to accommodate a mixture of wet and dry (subject/clinical) laboratories, research staff offices, and shared laboratory equipment spaces as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support systems for Behavioral Medicine Research. The total assignable square footage of space to be renovated in Phase One is approximately 18,000 square feet. This space will use existing spatial allocation and casework that will be reconfigured to accommodate the needs of the Institute for Behavioral Medicine.

Challenges for the project include: • Budget limitations. • JCAHO / HIPAA guidelines for the clinical research spaces. • Homeland Security criteria for the use of infectious agents within the facility. Program of Requirements scope of work to accommodate eight research teams involved in wet bench research, and two teams of psychological researchers studying the impacts of stress on the human immune system and the ability to fight infection. Phase Two Renovations In early 2008, The Ohio State University awarded Phase Two to IDCA. During this phase, we will work with the University to renovate the third floor of Murray Hall. The third floor needs to accommodate a mixture of wet and dry (subject/clinical) laboratories, research staff offices, and shared laboratory equipment spaces. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support systems will also be updated for an expansion of the Phase One Behavioral Medicine Research renovations.

Bio-Research Facility

Grant Proposal

Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) was one of several prominent research institutions to pursue grant funding under the National Institute of Health (NIH) National Biocontainment Laboratory (NBL) program. The grant was to provide funding for the design and construction of a 164,000 GSF research facility, including state-of-the-art laboratories at biocontainment levels 2, 3, and 4, and associated scientific, clinical, and administrative support space. The design was required to meet strict federal standards, incorporating special engineering and design features to prevent the release of microorganisms into the environment. IDC Architects and project partner Turner Construction “I would like to thank your team Company were selected to provide for its truly ‘above and beyond’ planning, design, cost estimating, effort to do whatever it took to and grant-writing services in get the job done! It has been OHSU’s pursuit for one of only a wonderful experience to two NBLs to be awarded by NIH. work with such a talented and committed group of people.” Biocontainment Safety & Security The health and security risks ~ Leslie M. Hallick, Ph.D. of working with extremely Vice President and Provost hazardous biological agents put emphasis on the arrangement and construction of biocontainment laboratories.. Our concept located the highest containment levels (BSL-4) at the core of the high-security wing, surrounded by a buffer corridor for access control and management of pressurization for safety. The high-containment lab core was constructed of cast-in-place concrete to provide an impervious envelope. BSL3 labs were located in the core of the medium-security wing, again surrounded by a buffer corridor, and flanked by offices and BSL-2 labs.

“In working with various engineering, military and scientific endeavors over the years, I have never come across a more cohesive, dedicated, personable, professional and technically team of individuals as I have encountered with your company. “ ~ Bryan Peppernau., Ph.D. Lab Safety Manager and Biosafety Officer The NBL program required rapid deployment of NIH personnel to the facility in an emergency. Research and clinical space would be quickly adapted to the needs of the event, temporarily displacing ongoing work. To provide this flexibility, the laboratories at all biocontainment levels were segregated into independent suites with communicating doors, creating a range of laboratory types and sizes capable of isolation from standard operations. Support areas such as the vivarium, waste treatment, filter interstitial, and facilities shop were located above and below the lab floors to provide uninterrupted support of all lab spaces regardless of lab configuration. Campus Context OHSU’s West Campus is bounded by forest and wetland, with buildings informally arranged along pedestrian pathways to maximize enjoyment of the natural surroundings and encourage frequent staff interaction. OHSU was intent on preserving the campus scale and open, collegial atmosphere, notwithstanding the large program and rigorous security requirements of the new NBL. The design separates the NBL into two main wings, matching the scale of existing laboratories, and arranging them around a secure exterior courtyard. The wings are joined by a common area with entry, meeting rooms, and dining area opening to the courtyard.Building height is reduced by use of a utility basement. Views of the forest and wetland were preserved with a glazed façade, protected by a transparent yet secure ©2012 IDC Architects Confidential and Proprietary

architectural screen system. Compressed Schedule To demonstrate the feasibility of the NBL on the OHSU campus, the NIH grant proposal required schematic design-level concepts in site planning, building design, and major engineering support systems, with associated cost estimates. The design was programmed to support a range of research projects specifically developed by OHSU to meet NIH goals. Given the short timeline of eight weeks to develop the 1000-page grant proposal, our team planned and led a virtually continuous sequence of team work sessions to develop and refine research programs, design solutions, and cost estimates. Architects, engineers, laboratory planners, construction managers, scientists, doctors, veterinarians and grant writers worked in parallel from a specially designated team space, centered on a war room where the major elements of the grant proposal covered the walls. IDC Architects’ ability to focus the expertise and efforts of a widely varied group of specialists resulted in a comprehensive grant application that was scored highly on technical merit by NIH reviewers. The design featured a flexible, high performance laboratory that met the most stringent requirements for safety and security, while preserving the qualities of OHSU’s research campus.

Program elements include BSL-2 labs, BSL-3, and BSL4 research labs, plus support facilities including animal handling and holding, insectaries, a 4,900 SF four-bed clinical facility, and administrative offices. A lunchroom and library located on the second floor overlook the lobby and collaborative spaces with views to exterior landscape. The University’s program required that the biocontainment research lab be integrated into the existing campus design as a friendly neighbor, discreetly incorporating the enhanced security necessary for a facility of this type. Regional Pacific Rim Vaccine Research Center The center is a prototype that the University intends to locate on other sites. It has the flexibility to adapt to the evolving needs of laboratory research programs. Incorporating four bio-safety level 3A laboratory suites, the prototype has animal holding areas, research labs and necropsy rooms, plus support spaces capable of conducting four simultaneous research programs.

Clad in smooth metal panels, the design of the core lab area reduces the visual impact of its mechanical support. Brick at the administrative area blends with other campus materials, while carefully placed glass and translucent panels introduce natural light to the interiors without compromising security.

Mixed Use District Energy Center This 20-story mixed use building is a cornerstone project within a new sustainable urban development. The heart of the project is a district energy center supplying utility services to medical, research, office and residential customers throughout the 52-block area. A logistics center consolidating the distribution of goods for two medical research campuses will utilize environmentally friendly transportation systems. The office tower provides an additional 220,000 SF of lease space and includes natural ventilation, through-slab airflow, green roofs, extensive natural daylight and flexible partitions and demising walls. The combination of revenue generating utility services, leased office space and parking facilities, in conjunction with a flexible design that accommodates growth and reduces waste, creates a positive economic model for the redevelopment district. Casey Eye Institute IDC Architects provided programming and conceptual design support. Our expertise with tissue culture suites and sensitive imaging equipment helped OHSU meet critical application deadlines. North Campus Utility Upgrades and Security Projects IDC Architects has completed numerous mechanical upgrades throughout the campuses. Additionally, we designed the new Security Command Center and 24/7 Call Center, which unified both security and maintenance staff into a single team focused on campus-wide safety issues.

College of Engineering CBE Building A key element of the OSU College of Engineering strategic plan is CBE, the new building for chemical, biological, and environmental engineering. The 50,000 SF program includes laboratories, classrooms, and offices for faculty and graduate students. In addition to promoting research and teaching collaboration between disciplines, the new building will be a defining central element of the OSU Engineering campus.

Engineering Campus Analysis OSU’s goal of top-tier status for the College of Engineering required a bold strategic plan to provide resources and facilities for premier teaching and research programs. Building on OSU’s strengths in key future technologies, IDCA formulated recommendations for long-term enhancement of the College of Engineering’s facilities.

IDCA’s design concept provided significant green space and reinforced existing pedestrian pathways, yet preserved the important campus edge formed by the existing Merryfield Hall. Care was devoted to enhancing natural light and views for the building, as well as preserving views for the neighbors. While the building materials were selected for consistency with the campus palette, they were applied to emphasize the beauty of technology, and reflect the creative energy of the engineering sciences.

The study created consensus and understanding among University stakeholders, produced powerful graphic materials to stimulate financial support, planned for efficient consolidation and integration of departments, and provided information to support future requests for specific design proposals. We conducted a building-by-building assessment of existing facilities, with recommended improvements, budgets, and schedules. Conceptual designs for new buildings, renovations, and a campus plaza were developed to support fundraising and emphasize special opportunities. Space needs were compared with available areas to help identify priorities. The final report was a comprehensive and potent tool for setting a positive future direction for the College.

IAT010612184109PDX

Technologies being researched at MBI include: • Quantum dots to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of silicon photovoltaic cells • Microfluidics technology to reduce the energy required for water desalination by up to 50% • Transparent electronics that can be printed on glass and plastics • Microreactors for super-fast, portable biodiesel production • Blood filters for portable kidney dialysis machines OSU requested a design concept for the facility that would support collaboration with commercial partners and clients, while providing an attractive space to clients seeking services.

Retrofit Expands Capabilities MBI is located in Building 11 on the Hewlett-Packard campus. That location was selected after a 2006 IDCA feasibility study determined that the building, a former warehouse, could be converted into a highperformance laboratory space. Key findings from this study were instrumental in executing the design. Initially MBI occupied 22,000 SF of laboratory and office space in the 78,513 SF structure. IDCA’s buildout design added approximately 30,000 SF including office space, a videoconference room, a classroom, 14 individual laboratory spaces and open floor fabrication area. The redesigned space featured laboratory HVAC and exhaust, process piping, expanded electrical service, central mechanical equipment room, laboratory sanitary waste system, energy efficient lighting upgrade and other infrastructure improvements. In compliance with the Oregon Department of Energy’s State Energy Efficiency Design (SEED) Program, the facility was designed to exceed the state’s building code energy conservation provisions by more than 20 percent. Design Supports Collaborative Science IDCA’s design establishes a stimulating shared research work environment with open and closed office options, closed and shared labs, and fabrication space for demonstration and full-scale production lines. Throughout the facility, spaces were designed to support both planned and unplanned collaboration through location, amenities and configuration. Examples include placement of breakout areas with whiteboards and soft seating near offices and laboratories, siting of lounge spaces with working tables and soft seating at major circulation intersections, and design of a new break area with seating and whiteboards to foster casual communication in a centralized location.

Science Research and Teaching Center (Science Building 2)

Laboratories

Science Building 2 (SB2) is located in the heart of the Portland State University (PSU) urban campus. Originally constructed in 1971, the building was badly outdated and in need of significant upgrades to meet city and state building codes, and to accommodate PSU’s growth.

Student commons

In 2005, the University engaged IDC Architects (IDCA) to develop a “Building Advisory Committee Report,” an investigation and assessment of SB2 in light of PSU’s needs and goals. Completed in 2006, this study served as the basis for efforts to seek public funding and community support for a new Science and Research Teaching Complex on campus.

Entrance addition Upgrades: Structural Mechanical Electrical infrastructure

IAT030812082656PDX

The team created a fundraising donor’s package, comprised of 2D graphics and virtual and physical models, which outlined and defined the University’s vision and goals for the project. This document served as the basis for soliciting and acquiring both state funding and private donor support. IDCA was subsequently selected to provide architectural design and engineering for major renovations and additions to SB2, which represents the first phase in the creation of the new complex. The project scope included structural, mechanical and electrical upgrades, addition of new labs and a hazardous material facility, student areas, as well as functional and aesthetic improvements to the existing laboratories. Encompassing approximately 250,000 GSF, the renovated SB2 houses research and teaching labs for biology, chemistry, environmental science, and physics; as well as offices and a student commons. The facility will help attract top faculty and students by strengthening interdisciplinary connections and aligning leading programs in environmental science, pharmaceuticals, and nanotechnology.

Benefits of the new facility include: • New labs provide much improved teaching and research spaces with more efficient layouts, new fume hoods, and better lighting • New hazardous materials addition improves student safety and gives facility managers better control over use of chemicals and lab supplies • Updated corridors and lobby create a modern, attractive facility that showcases PSU’s commitment to science education and research • The building operates using approximately 50% less conditioned air than before the upgrade • The new facility is designed to LEED® Silver standards. It also complies with the state of Oregon’s Energy-Efficient Design (SEED) program, which requires the building to achieve a minimum energy efficiency of 20% above the state energy code. We worked closely with PSU to determine priorities through the programming phase by developing multiple concepts to address a wide array of issues and assigning a probable cost to each one. Our innovative “target-value” design process helped deliver the design on time and on budget, while fulfilling the University’s goals for the project. IAT030812082656PDX

Hillsboro, Oregon, USA Project Statistics Area: 78,000 GSF Completion: September 2007 Cost: $26,500,000 Construction: Tilt-up Concrete (Existing Shell)

PHL/DEQ Analytical Laboratory The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS), together with the Public Health Laboratory (PHL), and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), engaged IDC Architects to create new analytical laboratories in an existing building designed for multi-tenant, light commercial use. With a collaborative and flexible design approach, IDC Architects’ multi-discipline team of architects and engineers created a facility that supported the diverse public health and safety missions of these organizations in the most beneficial and cost-effective way. Program Reconciliation At the outset, the project team faced a significant challenge: prior programming efforts had identified the clients’ need for 95,000 GSF, while the building’s capacity was just 75,000 GSF. Together with our lab planning sub-consultant, we held a series of prototyping sessions to find space-saving solutions and building modifications that met the requirements of individual user groups, using significantly less total area.

During interactive instrument layout exercises with staff, lab and support space needs were validated and optimized. Working from a “total project” standpoint, including performance, cost, constructability, safety, and sustainability, we developed creative ways to maximize usable space in the existing shell, such as equipment mezzanines and minor perimeter additions. Adaptive Re-use Because the building was designed for multi-tenant, light commercial use, installation of large, openbay laboratory spaces, specialty biocontainment and cleanroom environments, and major new utility systems presented another significant challenge. The team responded by designing a new and entirely independent structural system to support air handlers and exhaust fans, coordinated with the wall layout below to preserve usable space.

zones were created throughout the building core and organized along major paths of travel to allow departments to adapt the spaces to their own unique use. Biosafety Performance The facility’s BSL-3 capabilities had to meet Department of Homeland Security guidelines, as well as other stringent standards required by PHL and DEQ as designated response agencies for biological and other hazardous material emergencies.

Meanwhile, a key design criterion was mandated by the State Energy Efficiency Design (SEED) program, which called for exceeding Building Code energy standards by more than 20%. IDCA’s design brought daylight into the building core using skylights and interior relites, improving energy performance and the work environment. We developed lighting mock-ups to convey working environments and ensure the space would perform to expectations. Flexibility Lab flexibility was another key priority. In large open suites, lab benches were designed for multiple functions, allowing adaptation to seasonal workflow changes and quick response to epidemic or environmental emergencies. Equipment rooms were located to provide as much sharing as possible between labs, and to adapt to future uses. Laboratory suites with special requirements for cleanliness, metals-free contamination, or biocontainment, were located in the support zone, avoiding overlyspecific design in the general lab zones. Flexible-use ©2012 IDC Architects Confidential and Proprietary

Security and safety was enhanced by locating the BSL suites within the building core; the location took advantage of several layers of access control, while remaining on a direct path to the exterior, to avoid contaminating the rest of the lab with unknown substances. Closed circuit television systems were located throughout the BSL suite for additional safety and security. High-performance filtration and waste treatment systems were located directly above the BSL suites on an equipment mezzanine, saving program space and providing maintenance access and inspection points for lab systems and the critical containment envelope.

in the NanoFab 300S research and office facility are available to the 300SX researchers, via the clean/ viewing corridor “link” that connects these functions. NanoFab 300SX contains technical clean space intended for process and laboratory equipment that will be used to focus on pre-competitive and competitive nanotechnology tool research and development, as well as prototyping, work-force training, and business incubation.

The clean space has 16-feet of clear height and is supported on a 12-inch thick engineered slab. Due to the site’s ambient vibration level of 300 micro-inches/ second, IDC Architects designed the facility with a mat-slab on piles to bypass these ambient conditions and achieve the 250 micro-inches/second criteria. EMI criteria for metrology is 3.5 milligauss and 5 milligauss for other cleanroom areas. Acoustics noise criterion and infrasonic design at <74 Db (0.2–16Hz).

The architecture conforms to the current CESTM campus standards. The building has been sited at the entrance to the campus. It is envisioned to serve as the “gatehouse” and outward expression of the research that is conducted on the campus. Taking its cues from surrounding buildings, the building employs flat, profiled and stainless steel panels in a composition intended to evoke the “technical” nature of the activities within.

All cleanroom and lab functions required full airborne molecular contamination (AMC). These were attained with makeup air handling systems with AMC capability including air discharge at Class 1, combined with low surface area, non-shedding surfaces and stainless steel lining. Strict clean construction protocols for installation and commissioning were required. AMC design was followed in all architectural finishes and features. Full flexibility for clean spaces was provided to support an initial process and metrology equipment mix utilizing ballroom cleanroom design, modular ceiling grid, modular plenum supply and “de-coupled” process utility piping routes. All clean space was designed to convert to any combination of Class 1000, 100, or 10.

Ken Morrison Life Sciences Research Center

Master Planning

The Nebraska Center for Virology (NCV) has a vision to create a nationally recognized center of biomedical research excellence. The NCV links the virology programs of three institutions: the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL), UN Medical Center and Creighton University. The Ken Morrison Life Sciences Research Center is the new home for this multidisciplinary environment, supporting innovative and collaborative research in an atmosphere designed to attract and promote the development of promising scientists.

Site Selection

The NCV Building provides a research facility designed to foster interaction and collaboration among researchers, visiting fellows, students and staff. It includes full laboratories for 12 scientists, separate spaces for tissue culture work, a polymerase chain reaction suite, cold and dark rooms, shared microscopy and cell-flow cytometry facilities, and a Biosafety Level-3 research laboratory suite. The building gives researchers much needed space to expand ongoing research. NIH Grant Proposal The concept for this design began when IDCÂ Architects partnered with UNL to help their scientists prepare a proposal for an NIH grant. Over just four weeks, a series of rapid-fire project team meetings developed and submitted building siting, architectural concepts, project performance definition, and cost estimates NIH. The collaborative effort included all stakeholders: scientists, designers, university facility, staff and life safety specialists. A traditional programming process was enhanced with real-time 3D form and space modeling that led to a more complete understanding of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s function and proposed attributes.

Security The first action in shaping a collaborative and interactive research environment was advantageously siting the building. Although the NIH encouraged proximity to nearby extant researchers, the proposed building needed to allow sufficient room for existing site circulation. Careful siting created a new and unanticipated opportunity for a shared ÂŠ2012 IDC Architects Confidential and Proprietary

outdoor room or quad, an amenity largely absent on this part of the UNL campus. “Force protection” was equally important to NIH design criteria. This could have meant fencing, bollards, and limited window openings. Working closely with scientists, security and landscape personnel, IDC Architects developed solutions that refined, incorporated and concealed protection responses. Among these was creating a protective barrier from a terrace’s low, articulated landscape seating-wall. Collaboration Planning was premised on a simple concept: the creation of research “wings” comprised of research laboratories, support spaces and work spaces, originating from and anchored by a central “hub.” The hub contains shared spaces, primary among them the building circulation, interaction/break rooms and larger support spaces, such as equipment rooms and glass wash rooms. The building was laid out in anticipation of a total of three research wings spiraling off the hub. Lab wings were sized so that investigators would not be far from their colleagues. A single central corridor bisects these wings, dividing research and office space. To encourage the critical interactions that occur in corridors, entrances to office spaces group at cul de sacs along corridors, providing impromptu “break-out” spaces. Translucent glazing along the corridors allows natural daylight to penetrate.

Sustainability Many researchers moving to this facility were unaccustomed to sustainable design features, such as natural daylighting in labs and offices, or to close proximity of labs and offices. Some feared that research staff would be distracted by the views and that valuable shelf and storage space would be lost. Ultimately, IDC Architects’s use of 3D modeling, lab planning studies and comparative lab references created consensus among the research staff for lab layouts and features that will yield years of flexible planning arrangements, comfortable work environments and productive interactions. Although not anticipated to be pursued as a LEED® certified building, multiple sustainable design principles were incorporated, among them substantial use of natural daylighting, incorporation of energy efficient MEP systems, and extensive use of high recycled-content building materials.

Bounded by a major thoroughfare on one side and a centuries-old nature preserve on another, the site’s footprint is extremely tight. The new facility is designed to minimize its footprint while allowing natural light and air to penetrate as much of the office and research space as possible. The building plan also maximizes the use of sustainable materials and practices, and minimizes energy consumption through the use of an evaporationfree cooling system, variable frequency drives and high-efficiency motors on the engineering systems, natural ventilation throughout the office areas, and recirculation of rainwater to minimize chemical usage associated with softening cleanroom-use water.

The 129,200 SF, state-of-the-art building houses 19,910 SF (1,850 SM) of flexible cleanrooms, 17,220 SF (1,600 SM) of technical and research laboratories, and technical support spaces. Stable, clean environments (laboratories and cleanrooms) for synthesis, characterization, packaging, assembly and testing of devices are provided. Characterization tools are provided in central, shared locations with low vibration and EMI characteristics. Tool supplies will be installed with an eye toward flexibility of application and ease of upgrades in the future.The design of the engineering systems incorporates truly state of the art techniques to significantly reduce the overall energy consumption of the facility. The building has a large cooling energy requirement that is satisfied by a “free cooling” system for approximately 72% of the year , thereby allowing the building to operate without the need for chillers. In addition , the use of absorption chilling , CHP ( Combined Heat and Power ) and an innovative automatic control system have produced an overall reduction in energy consumption of 52.8%, when compared with a conventional facility without these innovative features. Projected annual energy consumption is only some 60kWh / m2 of building per annum , which provides an annual reduction in running costs of approximately $400,000 .
