Center of Excellence for Cange, Haiti Part 1 by Clemson School of Architecture

INTRODUCTION This book contains design proposals for a new, multifaceted Center of Excellence (COE) facility in Cange, Haiti. The COE will support the ongoing work of the Clemson Engineer’s for Developing Countries (CEDC), a student service-learning organization focused on sustainable infrastructure solutions throughout the central plateau of Haiti, and beyond. The COE proposals presented here were the products of the 2019 Graduate Comprehensive Design Studio in the School of Architecture at Clemson University. The studio was carefully orchestrated around a cross-disciplinary collaboration with the students and faculty of CEDC, who provided invaluable, personal insight throughout the design process. In addition to the COE proposals themselves, you will also find the foundational Request For Proposals document, prepared in the Fall of 2018, in advance of the studio course. This RFP provided background information concerning Cange and CEDC’s work there, and also reports the outcomes of a multi-stage charrette process which was designed to elicit CEDC’s overarching aspirations for the new facility and grounds, as well as the core programmatic and operational needs.

This project was supported by Clemson’s Community Research + Design Center (CR+DC) and its 2018-19 graduate assistant, Henry Lee. Our partner, the CEDC, is supported by the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina (EDUSC); Clemson Creative Inquiry; the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences; Fluor; AMECO; Eastman Chemical; and Clemson University Student Government.

The core values of CEDC include: Accountability CEDC recognizes and accepts responsibility for its actions and their outcomes while honoring obligations, expectations, and standards of ethical conduct. Commitment CEDC acknowledges its generation’s responsibility as global leaders to holistically apply interdisciplinary solutions towards social, environmental, and economic issues to enhance future lives. Service CEDC carries out moral obligations to improve the safety, health, and well-being of the human race, effectively advancing the standard of living in developing countries. CEDC was founded by Clemson alumnus Jeff Plumblee when he was first introduced to the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina (EDUSC) and its work on a clean water system in Haiti. In March 2009, CEDC began as a student organization and started to create connections in Haiti. David Vaughn, an industry partner with Fluor, heard news about the water system and met with CEDC, which led to him joining the organization as they traveled to Haiti the following summer. While working on the water system (which is described in detail later in this document), Tim Wilson of the EDUSC learned of David’s many years of related professional experience and subsequently appointed him project manager. Back in Clemson, CEDC operated as a course during its first year. It was later reconfigured in the structure of a corporate organization, featuring student project teams with student project managers, etc. (see below for organizational structure). However, accomplishing certain tasks and obtaining materials proved difficult without someone on the ground physically working on the project. In order to provide better services and connections in the community, CEDC decided to create an internship position for Clemson students wherein they would serve in Cange, Haiti to facilitate research and projects.3 In May 2011, Keelan Greenwade became the 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVTN-qt1fGw&index=4&list=PLw5c4meVIrO- OR_AavWZTYOFdb2-6Fyd2&t=0s

first intern, followed by successive interns in growing numbers. The intern program still exists and is a vital component for implementing, testing, and managing projects in Haiti and sharing discoveries with CEDC students back in Clemson in order to work together toward working solutions. Since the beginning, CEDC students have come together from a multitude of majors and backgrounds, unified in the common goal of develop sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for local communities in the Central Plateau of Haiti. Today, CEDC, operating through an ongoing Creative Inquiry course, brings together over 80 undergraduate students from 20 to 30 different majors in any given semester. The first project that CEDC took on was the municipal water system. While CEDC’s first major project in Haiti was the municipal water system in Cange, it has evolved to include additional project ranging from waste-treating biodigesters, to hydroelectric power to an array of educational programs, just to name a few. CEDC’s organizational structure was modeled on that of a business with a distinct hierarchy necessary for efficiently managing its ongoing projects, for continuity and knowledge transfer, and for sustaining organizational growth. Students are organized into either administrative teams (Current Operations, Marketing, Technical Solutions, Finance, Internal Communications, Program Advancement, Assistant Program Directors, and Project Management), project-based teams, or education-oriented teams. The organizational hierarchy (diagrammed below) is intentionally structured so that no member is managing more than 4-6 people. Therefore, new members are each able to play a vital role and create connections with other members at a personal level, but groups are large enough to delegate tasks and set realistic goals for a project.

INTRODUCTION TO HAITI Haiti is the third largest nation in the Caribbean Sea, occupying the western half of the island of Hispaniola, it shares a border with the Dominican Republic. Haiti has a mountainous terrain. Its tropical climate consists of a rainy season and a dry season, with average temperatures ranging from 73 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 54 inches of average annual rainfall in the capital of Port-au-Prince.4 Due to Haiti’s location between the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, it is affected by frequent hurricanes in the area. The effects of these natural disasters are exacerbated by poor building standards and deforestation in the country, leading to flooding, landslides, and the collapse of buildings. The nation has an estimated population just under 11 million, with the most populous city being its capital, Port-au-Prince.5 Agriculture is the most common method of economic participation, with about 40% of the population practicing subsistence farming. Haiti’s Gross Domestic Product is estimated at $8.4 Billion, and Its main trading partner is the United States, exporting mainly coffee, sugar, cocoa, tropical fruits and essential oils . Haiti is generally considered to be the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, as approximately 59% of the population lives below the poverty line of US$2.41 per day, and more than 24 percent fall below the national extreme poverty line (US$1.23 per day).6 Haiti’s minimum wage varies across employment sectors, however a standard daily minimum wage among the employed is 225 Gourdes (about $5.71). The economic gap between the rich and the poor in Haiti is profound, and a middle class is lacking. Haiti was first colonized by the Spanish in 1492, and later by the French. Before its war for independence from France, which lasted from 1791-1804, Haiti was one of the richest colonies in the world, although the vast majority of that wealth was controlled by a few wealthy plantation owners. Sugarcane was the predominant cash crop during this colonial period. Haitian independence came at a high cost in terms of human life, damage to Haiti’s infrastructure, political instability, and a lack of economic recognition from other nations, including the United States. Moreover, France required https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/02/10/climate-risks-and-haiti/ https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ha.html 6 https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/haiti/overview 4 5

reparations payments for slaves freed and land won during the Haitian revolution. This was not an uncommon practice following emancipation. In the wake of these events, Haiti’s economy crumbled. Haiti’s poverty remains a complicated issue, but these factors have been instrumental in preventing the country from becoming economically prosperous. Because of the endemic poverty in Haiti, there is a lack of available funding with which to support basic infrastructure including waste management and clean water, among others. This directly contributes to widespread public health crises, including cholera. Haiti’s education system lacks funds, qualified teachers, and sometimes adequate facilities, which causes the literacy rate to be extremely low at 60%. This rate is even lower in rural areas. Additionally many of the buildings throughout Haiti are unstable and insufficiently reinforced. In fact, there is no national building code in Haiti.7 These factors combined to contribute to the magnitude of destruction that followed the devastating 2010 earthquake and subsequent aftershocks and landslides. Notably, there does exist a government organization called MTPTC (Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications) which has been trying to enforce international building codes in the country since the 2010 earthquake. However, few people adhere to these codes, and the MTPTC has few resources with which to enforce them. Before the January 2010 earthquake, Haiti was host to an estimated 10,000+ non-governmental organizations (NGOs).8 There was a subsequent influx following the earthquake, and the number has continued to increase over the years, making Haiti the NGO capital of the world.9 Haiti receives billions of dollars in international aid due to persistent natural disasters and its own ineffective governmental disaster relief organizations. The impacts of this funding and the many NGOs has been mixed at best. INTRODUCTION TO CANGE, HAITI AND CEDC’s PRESENCE THERE Cange is a town in the central plateau of Haiti (Mirebalais Arrondissement). It is in the province of Boucan-Carré. Lying at an elevation of 199 m, Cange is home to the notable Bon Sauveur hospital complex operated by Zanmi https://csengineermag.com/article/structural-design-challenges-in-haiti/ https://nacla.org/news/ngos-and-business-poverty-haiti 9 https://www.thenation.com/article/ngo-republic-haiti/ 7 8

Lasante (ZL), a Haitian sister to the global Partners in Health organization.10 Cange is located along National Route 3 and on the edge of Lake Péligre, which was formed when the U.S. government built the Péligre hydroelectric dam in the Artibonite river valley in 1956.11 Cange has a reported population of about 30,000 within a 7 km radius. From data collected by CEDC, however, a better estimate is 3,400 people living within Cange, with an additional 5,000-10,000 people traveling from outside of the town to use the water system. In addition to the Zanmi Lasante (ZL) compound, it is home to two defined residential villages, one across route #3 from ZL and one operated by the local Baptist church. Other informal settlement is strung along Route 3, including the Cange market. There are three schools, including the Ecole Bon Sauveur on the ZL compound. Like most schools in Haiti, these schools are private. They host the younger grades in the mornings and the upper grades in the afternoons. CEDC director David Vaughn cites an average annual household income of around US$700 in Haiti, and he estimates the household income in Cange to be about half of that.

Since its inception as an organization, CEDC has been at work in Cange. The most notable project to date was the construction and operation of a sustainable freshwater infrastructure, which provides clean water to some 20,000 people in the area through nine public fountains positioned throughout the town. This system replaced an earlier, untreated system built by EDUSC between 1983 and 1985. Currently, the water is pumped, filtered, sterilized, and chlorinated, all without electrical power. The first of its kind, this remains the only water system in Haiti that meets the purification standards of the World Health Organization (WHO). Among other measures, the success of the water system is seen in the precipitous decline in cholera throughout Cange and its immediate surroundings. Other notable CEDC work in Cange includes latrines for both the Bon Sauveur school and ZL external clinic, and the related biodigester and wetlands project, which was completed in 2013. This project provided sanitary restrooms and innovative biowaste management solutions. This and other CEDC work in Cange and beyond is outlined in greater detail in Appendix 1 of this RFP document. INTRODUCTION TO PROPOSED CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN CANGE The term Center of Excellence (COE) is not easy to define. According to wikipedia: “A center of excellence (COE) is a team, a shared facility or an entity that provides leadership, best practices, research, support and/or training for a focus area. Due to its broad usage and vague legal precedent, a "center of excellence" in one context may have completely different characteristics from another.”12

The COE project team within CEDC has set the following vision for its proposed COE in Cange: “Our mission is to establish a living-learning Center of Excellence in the Central Plateau of Haiti to be a base through which CEDC can continue its work and a model that addresses global challenges and sustainable development goals.” Additionally, a 2018 COE literature review report states: “The goal of this project is to provide education for sustainable water, hygiene, and agricultural practices while also proving the concept of a self-sustaining and fully functional entity in a developing country that is

CEDC + CRDC

capable of serving local communities.” The COE is intended to support current and future projects from CEDC, while at the same time giving the local population both the tools and knowledge to begin taking over and disseminating this work. This latter goal is already embodied by the Haitian “water team” in Cange (described later in Appendix 2), and the proposed COE would operate as a community development hub enabling this and other related work. It would be a center of knowledge, putting best practices and research on display for neighboring communities to come, learn from, and trade ideas. The idea for this center was planted when visitors from the World Health Organization, impressed by the success and impact of the clean water system, commented that CEDC and Clemson should consider establishing a Center of Excellence in Cange. The structure and ownership of the proposed COE are evolving subjects. The COE will be located on the Zanmi Lasante compound and CEDC director, David Vaughn, projects that ZL will most likely own the facility. In the short-term, it will house and be staffed by CEDC interns. Longer-term staffing is a future goal, and a facility manager is envisioned. Additionally, the COE could play host to masters and PhD student researchers. From a facilities standpoint, the COE is imagined to be a leading Haitian example of sustainable design and resiliency, demonstrating what David Vaughn refers to as “the art of the possible.” The 2018 COE literature review report states: “The Center of Excellence is expected to be a self-sufficient entity working as a system in and of itself. This means incorporating clean energy techniques along with building codes and standards and redundancy to assure the center will not stop operations. Designing and implementing such a system in a resource-constrained environment like Cange, Haiti will prove difficult.” Funding for the proposed COE and its operations would likely come from a variety of sources. Ideally, a substantial portion would come from international non-profits such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Rotary International.

Statement of Purpose In light of this background and CEDC’s ongoing work throughout the central plateau of Haiti, CEDC, in partnership with Clemson’s CR+DC, seeks compelling design solutions for a future Center of Excellence facility in Cange. This Request For Proposals (RFP) is intended to serve as the foundational document undergirding the planning and design work to be completed by the Spring 2019 Graduate Comprehensive Studio in the Clemson School of Architecture. As such, the RFP operates at two fundamental and complementary levels. First, this RFP provides key background information for the sake of context. This ranges from physical context (geography, climate, existing infrastructure, etc.) to cultural context (material culture, normative building practices, etc.) to operational context (ongoing CEDC projects, network of partners, etc.). Secondly, this RFP provides the programmatic framework for the proposed Center of Excellence. This framework stems from a series of concept-forming charrettes orchestrated to provide a picture of the goals and aspirations that CEDC identifies with the COE. The more specific and detailed elements of the COE program stem from parallel conversations with CEDC administrators and leaders as well as a Spring 2018 Literature Review prepared by the student COE project team. To summarize, the scope of this RFP is strategically limited to identifying VALUES and associated programmatic guidelines for the COE. It remains up to the 2019 Comprehensive Studio to explore and propose fitting SOLUTIONS.

Existing Conditions PHYSICAL CONTEXT: TERRAIN AND CLIMATE Cange, Haiti is located within the central plateau of Haiti in the Arrondissement of Mirebalais. Its coordinates are 18°56′0″N 71°59′30″W. Like the rest of Haiti, it falls within the Eastern Standard time zone (GMT-5). Located above Lake Péligre, it has a reported elevation of around 200 meters (656 ft), though many areas are considerably higher. The terrain of Cange and its surroundings is mountainous. Most development to speak of is located along or just off of National Route 3. Outside of a few places within the Zanmi Lasante campus itself, Route 3 is the only paved road in Cange. The stretch of Route 3 extending from the northern outskirts of Port-au-Prince to the central plateau and beyond was first paved following the 2010 earthquake, enabling easier movement along this important artery. The project was funded and administered by the European Union. This has enabled easier movement along this important artery. A new road connecting Cange to neighbors to its east is currently under construction. Outside of these few roads, there are established footpaths forming connections within Cange and outward to the outlying rural areas. The community of Cange was effectively pushed up and into its current setting (high elevation and mountainous terrain) following the construction of the Péligre Dam in the 1950s. This intervention, which brought hydroelectric power to the region, also flooded the fertile river valley and displaced long-standing and self-sustaining agriculture. Residents of Cange and its surroundings have since faced a much more challenging struggle for food and prosperity. Another systemic challenge, shared throughout Haiti, is the persistence of infectious disease and environmental threats to human health. The public health crises of the 1980’s and 90’s, including widespread tuberculosis and aids cases, formed the backdrop for the formation of Zanmi Lasante and the global Partners in Health organization (PIH). This story is documented in Tracy Kidder’s well-known biography of Dr. Paul Farmer (Mountains Beyond Mountains13). More current struggles revolve around sanitation and access to clean water. There is very limited organized waste collection and disposal in 13

Haiti, in particular in places like Cange. Trash and debris is burned or simply discarded, and rudimentary pit latrines for human waste are common. This combines to lead to contamination of downhill water sources and the chronic spread of cholera and other digestive illnesses. In response, clean water and waste management strategies have been at the center of CEDC’s work in the central plateau. Despite its tropical latitude, Haiti’s landscape is largely devoid of the lush vegetation of its caribbean counterparts. According to a report from Nathan McClintock, “Soil erosion and deforestation are endemic in Haiti due to centuries of agricultural exploitation, first under the colonial plantation system - intensive monocropping of export commodities such as cotton, indigo, tobacco, sugarcane, and coffee - and later by the widespread harvest of timber for export markets and the expansion of peasant subsistence agriculture on marginal sloping land. A growing urban population and an increasing demand for charcoal and fuel wood have further stressed the environment.”14 Haiti has a tropical climate. Average temperatures in Cange tend to be in the mid-eighties during the summers and the low- to mid-seventies during the winter. The humidity is generally very high, over 70% year-round. Haiti has two rainy seasons, from April to July and from September to November. During these times, average monthly rainfall can reach over 200 mm (7.87 inches), while in the dry season, average monthly rainfall can be as low as 20 mm (0.79 inches).15 Average wind speeds range from 6 to 10 km per hour. These are very mild winds and are generally considered to be too low for wind power generation.16 Some annual climatic data is shown in Figures 1-4 in the following pages. Haiti’s location between the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, make it vulnerable to menacing tropical storms and hurricanes. There have been approximately 20 hurricanes/ tropical storms/ depressions in the last 20 years. These cause erosion and floods across the country, partly due to the to the extensive deforestation. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew alone caused approximately $1.9 billion in damages. https://projects.ncsu.edu/project/cnrint/Agro/PDFfiles/HaitiCaseStudy041903.pdf https://www.worldweatheronline.com/cange-weather-history/centre/ht.aspx 16 h ttp://windeis.anl.gov/guide/basics/ 14 15

Additionally, the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault runs through Haiti near Port-au-Prince. As a result, there are frequent earthquakes, and due to the mountainous topography and deforestation in the country, landslides commonly follow earthquakes. As a result of the devastating 7.3 magnitude earthquake in 2010, there were an estimated 23,567 landslides.

PHYSICAL CONTEXT: SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES The largest of Cange’s neighboring communities are Thomonde and Mirebalais. Thomonde is located about 17 kM to the Northeast of Cange along National Route 3, and Mirebalais is located about 20 km to the Southwest along Route 3. These two communities are two of the most developed in the region. Both have high population densities, as well as their own water systems, though neither is sufficient for the needs of the population. Both also feature public spaces for community gathering. Thomonde has a Zanmi Lasante clinic and is the only neighboring community located in the Hinche Arrondissement. Mirebalais is located in the Mirebalais Arrondissement and has numerous public schools as well as paved roads. The layout of Mirebalais’ is more akin to a gridded city, and it is home to the new Hospital University Mirebalais (another ZL hospital). Completed in 2014, this is one of the best and most state-of-the-art hospitals in the country. Boucan-Carré is another community located in the Mirebalais Arrondissement. It is 16 km away from Cange and just of Route 3. The principal government building for the Arrondissement is located in Boucan-Carrê. This community has 8 schools and a Zanmi Lasante hospital. It also boasts a recent and well-used public plaza space featured in the CEDC Public Spaces report. There is a public water system in the town, but it has been subject to breakdowns and its water is untreated. The mayor’s office reports that cholera is common as a result of poor water quality, and has asked CEDC to explore clean water systems for Boucan-Carré.

Morne Michel is about 8 km to the Southwest of Cange, and must be accessed by taking a boat across Lake Péligre because there are no roads leading to the community. Morne Michel depends on subsistence farming. There are a church and a school on the same piece of land, with very little other development. Domond is a community on/adjacent to Route 3. Domond has a large animal market, a few schools, and a national police office. The Péligre community is located along Lake Péligre, very close to the dam and on the opposite side of the lake from Morne Michel. Péligre has a few schools but is on the poorer side. Domond, Péligre, and Cange are all around the same size. Also near Cange is the Centre de Formation Fritz Lafontant (CFFL) which is a vocational school focusing on areas of agriculture and science.

PHYSICAL CONTEXT: CANGE’S CLEAN WATER SYSTEM In 2012, CEDC completed a new water system for Cange. This system replaced the earlier system built by EDUSC in the early 1980’s. At the time of the first system, watershed purity was judged to be adequate and water treatment was subsequently not incorporated. In the intervening years, water quality diminished greatly, with levels of fecal coliforms reaching 200 per 100 milliliters. This contributed to widespread illness among the population of Cange and its surroundings. In the new system built and administered by CEDC, water is collected at a new dam in the valley of Ba Cange (Lower Cange) and pumped up the hillside to Cange. The pumping process is entirely mechanical, working from the water pressure itself rather than requiring electricity. Up in Cange, the water is filtered and chlorinated at the filter building on the edge of the ZL campus. From there, it is pumped again to four cisterns located at the highest elevations around the town. The cisterns have a total capacity of over 200,000 gallons, and the pumps are capable of providing 144,000 gallons of water per day. Together, the cisterns gravity feed clean water to eight public fountains around town (a ninth fountain is located in Ba Cange). Each of the fountains in Cange feature shower stalls on their rear sides, and they have recently been painted with brightly colored murals in honor of Pierce and Jackie Williams - South Carolinians with decades-long involvement in the community of Cange. In addition to meeting the daily water needs and weekly clothes laundering needs (typically on Saturdays), the fountains have become hubs of social activity. Their locations were chosen based on a community mapping and needs assessments performed by CEDC. In all, the water of the system covers 1,100 feet of elevation change through nearly two miles of four-inch galvanized pipe. The $1.2 million project is the first system of its kind in Haiti and serves approximately 10,000 people. To date, it is the only system of its kind in Haiti, providing drinkable water purified to the international standards of the World Health Organization.

PHYSICAL CONTEXT: ELECTRICAL POWER INFRASTRUCTURE Generally speaking, the Haitian power grid is unreliable. The Haitian government operates a single power grid around Port-au-Prince, and there are several auxiliary power grids which are not connected to this central grid. Cange is connected to one of these auxiliary power grids, but power outages are frequent.17 Electricite d’Haiti does not have the money to adequately maintain power grid, and power remains unreliable.18 Moreover, many residents are illegally linked to the grid, siphoning power through unsafe connections. Zanmi Lasante uses a diesel generator for its electricity in Cange, a method that is expensive and not especially friendly to the environment. Most Haitians use charcoal for heat and for cooking in their homes.

PHYSICAL CONTEXT: Zanmi Lasante Campus The Zanmi Lasante campus has materialized in Cange from the 1980’s until the present day. It is intermingled with other structures belonging to the local Episcopal church, many of which were built during the tenure of Father Fritz Lafontant. Ownership remains unclear in places within the campus, resulting in potential conflict during junctures in which ZL and the church diocese are in disagreement. Among the facilities on the campus there is the Eglise Bon Sauveur church and Ecole Bon Sauveur school (EBS), and some church housing. The school yard often serves as an activity space for the community. Additionally, there is the ZL hospital and pharmacy and a separate ZL external clinic, among other ZL structures. The external clinic is serving as the home base for CEDC’s operations. This includes housing and office space for CEDC interns and visitors. Meals are served in a separate kitchen and dining facility adjacent to the EBS school. There is a wall separating the campus from Route 3, and somewhat controlling access, though the public seems to freely come and go. The filter building for the clean water system is just outside the campus walls, south of the external clinic. In addition to its treatment equipment and pumps, this building contains a small lab space used by CEDC and the Haitian water team for water sampling and testing.

PHYSICAL CONTEXT: Building Site for Proposed Center of Excellence The building site envisioned by CEDC for its proposed Center of Excellence facility is situated adjacent to the filter building, just off of Route 3. The site slopes off dramatically to the southeast, but there is enough gently sloping ground bordering the road to imagine a flexible parking and plaza area. The property belongs to Zanmi Lasante. The exact location of the COE footprint within this larger area remains open for careful consideration. In any case, there are compelling opportunities for building into the slope, integrating terraced outdoor spaces, and taking advantage of tremendous views to the south and east, among other strategies.

Existing Conditions BUILDING PRACTICES Because deforestation is so prevalent in Haiti, there is little timber available for use as a structural material in new construction.19 As a result, most Haitians rely on concrete in the form of concrete masonry units (CMUs). One of the most common Haitian construction types consists of stone rubble foundations, locked together with a reinforced cast-in-place (CIP) concrete slab-on-grade. Above this, there are CIP concrete columns and perimeter beams, with unreinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) infill walls, and CIP concrete elevated floor slabs. This construction type is similar to a system used in many countries, known as confined masonry construction. While confined masonry systems are used throughout the world, these systems performed poorly in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. In Haiti, most confined masonry systems suffer from minimally reinforced concrete columns and beams, and predominantly unreinforced masonry infill walls. As a result, these systems are heavy and offer little to no ductility. This problematic combination of heavy mass and poor ductility led to the widespread abrupt failures seen across Haiti during the earthquake. In addition to the undesirable balance of mass and brittle behavior, the strength of Haitian masonry and concrete is much lower than is common in the United States and other developed nations. Furthermore, the steel reinforcement often consists of smooth bars with inadequate cover, lap splices and development lengths. Improvements in construction materials and methods is an ongoing process, but it is reasonable to expect that, with proper reinforcement and material strengths, confined masonry construction can remain in wide use. Both concrete and CMUs are produced domestically, as limestone for cement and aggregate is a prevalent natural resource. Confined masonry construction, as described above, is used widely for larger-scale structures, with the CMU being parged over with plaster or mortar. CMU construction is also used for detached residential structures among owners with the means to afford this approach. Many homes also utilize traditional stonework. On the other hand, it is still common to see flimsier homes of banana tree wood, in particular in rural areas. Roofs in and around Cange tend to be metal or exposed concrete slabs. 19

Most structures are either whitewashed or painted with vibrant colors. Few have glass windows, and instead there are usually open-air openings within the walls. Because buildings are rarely air conditioned, many have high ceilings in order to increase natural ventilation. Wall openings are often filled with open cell masonry units called “breeze blocks.” Some are also covered with metal grilles. There is a notable history of metal craft throughout Haiti and grillework and railings often feature strong patterns. Steel as a primary structural system is uncommon in Haiti, and there is no domestic production of structural steel. However, welded frames of light tube steel sections are common for support sloped metal roofs. In some cases, welded steel trusses are used. An example of this is seen in the recent Baptist church building in Cange, completed with assistance from a U.S. non-profit called Water Mission20, and pictured on the next page. Interestingly, this structure features a wood-framed mezzanine level. The authors of this RFP are working on inquiring with the project team regarding the availability of lumber and logistics of its use for the church building. A more extensive analysis of this structure and its environmental performance is provided separately in a commentary from CEDC intern, Chase Gabbard. One imported traditional typology in Haiti is the Victorian Gingerbread House, most prominent in Port-au-Prince. Dating to the late 19th century, these houses typically featured ductile timber framing and steeply sloped roofs. The larger, upper class examples often had wraparound balconies. Of note, these structures were particularly resilient during the 2010 earthquake compared to other forms of construction.21 From a massing standpoint, multistory structures often feature overhanging floors at the upper levels. The authors of this RFP are not sure why this is the case, but surmise that it helps with shading the lower stories and with keeping them dry during rainy seasons. Questions about the available labor force and their skillset may be directed to David Vaughn, who has experience managing CEDC construction projects in Cange.

Charrette Process Over the course of the Fall 2018 semester, a series of conversations and visioning charrettes were staged in order to learn more about CEDC, its members, and the values and aspirations ascribed to the proposed COE. The charrettes were organized and administered by CR+DC graduate assistant, Henry Lee, and professor Dustin Albright. The format, inspired by a past CR+DC charrette experience, utilized a large banner as a centerpiece and vehicle for hands-on input. Participants were invited to respond to a series of prompts organized into four categories. They recorded their responses on colored stickers that were then placed in the appropriate section of the banner. The prompt categories started broadly and narrowed down to focus on the COE itself. In so doing, the prompts were designed to encourage feedback from a wide range of contributing voices - from experienced CEDC leadership and interns, all the way down to brand new CEDC participants. The emphasis throughout was on VALUES rather than specific SOLUTIONS. The four categories and their respective prompt questions were as follows: ● CEDC: What brought you to CEDC? What about CEDC inspires you? ● EXPERIENCE: What is an experience that stands out to you from your time with CEDC? What is something you’ve learned? ● PROGRAM: What might the new Center of Excellence allow CEDC to accomplish in Cange and beyond? ● FACILITIES: What should the new facility and grounds do and/or demonstrate? What must they accommodate?

CEDC + CRDC

This format encouraged wide participation, and it also provided a platform for a dialogue which followed the banner and sticker portion. Charrette facilitators asked participants to reflect on their own responses to the prompts, or responses that they noted among the other stickers on the banner. These dialogues were consistently illuminating, and they were recorded for future reference throughout the design process which is to come. Each of the responses from the many stickers was also transcribed, organized into a spreadsheet, and tracked according to the organizational status and experience level of the respondents (intern, project manager, etc.). This process received very positive feedback from participants and yielded invaluable insight into CEDC and its visions for the proposed Center of Excellence. In addition to the charrettes described above, two other conversations were staged with key CEDC administrators and leaders. The objective of these focused conversations was to gather background information about the organization, its history and its work, as well as specific programmatic needs and considerations for the COE. Below is a summary of each of the visioning conversations and charrettes. 1. Programming Conversation 1 | 10/02/18 | 3:15-5:15 | Lee Hall 3-136 Present at meeting i. David Vaughn (CEDC director) ii. Dustin Albright (Architecture) iii. Henry Lee (Architecture) iv. Ufuk Ersoy (Architecture) v. Jenn Palloni (CEDC student project management director) The objective of Programming Conversation 1 was to organize and outline specific programmatic needs and talk through issues on the administration level. David Vaughn shared the history of CEDC along with details of its structure and a timeline of its work in Haiti. He answered high level questions of how the proposed COE would be defined, who would own the facility, and where it would be located. He also provided thoughts on day-to-day operations of the center. Some questions still to be answered include how Clemson University would like to be positioned in the project. One suggestion is for the COE to operate in a way that is analogous to the seven Research

and Education Centers (RECs) that Clemson maintains across South Carolina. These centers are part of Clemson’s Cooperative Extension services and are an essential avenue for conducting and sharing research and best practices in the areas of agriculture, forestry and life sciences, among other topics.22 2. CEDC Directors Charrette | 10/09/18 | 3:15-5:15 | Lee 3 Wedge Present at meeting i. Riley Garvey (COE project manager) ii. Jenn Paloni (CEDC student project management director) iii. Natalie Osten (CEDC student project management director) iv. Alex Arzon (former CEDC intern, incoming CEDC president) v. Ashley Martin (former CEDC intern) vi. Sarah Grace Walker (CEDC student assistant program management director) vii. Dustin Albright (Architecture) viii. Henry Lee (Architecture) The objective of the Directors Charrette was to glean from the perspectives of current CEDC directors and past interns. Facilitated by Dustin Albright and Henry Lee, this was a first opportunity to work through the charrette process described above and observe levels of engagement and interaction among participants. The process was fruitful, in particular the discussion that followed after recording the feedback and placing the stickers.

3. CEDC COE Project Team Charrette | 10/11/18 | 3:15 - 5:15 | Lee 3 Wedge Present at meeting i. Riley Garvey (COE project manager) ii. Hannah Stewart (COE project team member) iii. Abby Piedmont (COE project team member) iv. Andrew Crim (COE project team member) v. Jenn Paloni (CEDC student project management director) vi. Dustin Albright (Architecture) vii. Henry Lee (Architecture) The objective of this second charrette was to focus in on the perspectives of CEDC’s COE project team. Among other topics, the team stressed the importance of providing sustained assistance in the central plateau without contributing to “toxic charity”23 and about how the Center of Excellence should act as a community center and creative space where, ultimately, Haitians teach Haitians. This particular charrette also served as an opportunity to familiarize the CEDC team with the charrette process, preparing them to help facilitate the next time around with their classmates. 4. Full CEDC charrette | 10/19/18 | 2:30 - 3:30 | Lowry Hall 100 Present at meeting i. Entire CEDC creative inquiry class ii. David Vaughn (CEDC director) iii. Jeff Plumblee (CEDC founder, current Citadel professor) iv. Chris Klasing (industry advisor) v. Riley Garvey (COE project manager, co-facilitator) vi. Hannah Stewart (COE team member, co-facilitator) vii. Andrew Crim (COE team member, co-facilitator) viii. Dustin Albright (Architecture) ix. Henry Lee (Architecture) This Charette was designed to involve the entire CEDC membership. It was held during the regular meeting time of the CEDC Creative Inquiry class on Friday, October 19th, and it is estimated that between 80 and 90 individuals participated. This served as a great opportunity to pull in diverse feedback 23

Center of Excellence RFP

CEDC + CRDC

from CEDC members at all different levels, while also testing the charrette process on a large scale. The breadth of the charrette prompts proved effective at garnering input from students new to CEDC as well as those more experienced participants. 5. Programming Conversation 2 | 11/3/18 | afternoon | CEDC Office, Cange a. Present at meeting i. David Vaughn (CEDC director) ii. Chris Klasing (industry advisor) iii. Jeff Plumblee (CEDC founder, current Citadel professor) iv. Caleb Cantrell (current CEDC intern) v. Lillian Hardaway (current CEDC intern) vi. Dustin Albright (Architecture) vii. Henry Lee (Architecture) The objective of Programming Conversation 2 was to revisit and elaborate upon specific programming needs for the proposed COE. This meeting took place during the Fall Break 2018 trip to Cange. The conversation proved especially valuable as it immediately followed a walking tour of the Cange water system, which provided the architecture team with a first-hand understanding of CEDC’s ongoing work. Moreover, the meeting was held in the CEDC intern office at the ZL External Clinic, on the same floor as the interns’ bedrooms. So, in addition to the on-the-ground work of CEDC, the participants were primed to discuss future CEDC lodging and administrative needs, among other topics. Importantly, this conversation brought to the forefront the desire for a public first floor in the future COE. This floor would operate as the community development center, and should ideally be located adjacent to an exterior public plaza, along route #3. The plaza would be multipurpose, serving as parking / drop-off, shared community space, and as a sort of forecourt to the COE. This was the first time within the planning that the community plaza was introduced and discussed. The conversation was inconclusive on the precise scope of new lodging within the COE. However, David Vaughn was inclined toward prioritizing the needs of interns and any future staff and resident researchers. Larger housing needs, such as for CEDC Fall and Spring trips or other outside groups, would

Center of Excellence RFP

CEDC + CRDC

continue to be met by ZL External Clinic. The preference is for the private, residential space to be located on the upper floor of the COE, above the proposed community development center. In addition to their regular research and development work, full time occupants of the COE would be seen as stewards of the facility itself and ambassadors for sharing its features and capabilities with the public. Finally, the group discussed specific laboratory and research needs. Expanding upon the topic, as presented in the Spring 2018 COE literature review, it was agreed that both wet and dry lab spaces are needed, and that the dry lab could potentially double as a teaching and demonstration space located on the public first floor. The more sensitive wet lab and associated interior and exterior support would be located elsewhere. The rooftop of the COE was presented as a third potential space for research projects as well as support for green building systems, including photovoltaics among other possibilities. The desire is for the COE to take advantage of both onsite renewable energy and new (proposed) hydroelectric energy, as well as onsite biodigesters for waste treatment. It should operate passively as much as possible, taking advantage of the “earth’s natural forces”, as David Vaughn is fond of saying. 6. Fall Break Charrette | 11/3/18 | evening | Friendship House, Cange a. Present at meeting i. Current CEDC interns (Caleb Cantrell, Chase Gabbard, Lillian Hardaway, and Madi Stiglich) ii. David Vaughn (CEDC director) iii. Jeff Plumblee (CEDC founder, current Citadel professor) iv. 11 CEDC Fall Break Trip students v. 2 Citadel students vi. A+H Operating Room project team (3 M.Arch + 1 alum) vii. CR+DC COE project team (Henry Lee + Dustin Albright) viii. Chris Klasing (industry advisor) ix. Keri Cantrell (industry advisor) The objective of this final charrette was to capture input from the entire CEDC Fall Break group, plus the Fall 2018 interns. This was a first chance for the interns to participate and offer feedback in this format. It was also a first chance for the Citadel team and the A+H OR project team to participate.

Among the others, many had participated during the October 19th CEDC charrette, but this time they were able to draw upon an expanded perspective, having spent time on site in Cange. In many regards this was the most diverse cross-section of participants, and led to rich conversation about CEDC’s work and the vision for the proposed COE. Specific “visioning” outcomes from the charrettes as well as a detailed COE building / site program are included in the following sections of this RFP document.

Values and Aspirations The structured series of visioning charrettes proved effective for eliciting thoughtful input from a diverse spectrum of participants. The commentary recorded on the stickers was transcribed and collected into a spreadsheet available to the Comprehensive Studio design teams. The feedback was wide-ranging, but certain themes emerged from within each of the four categories. These themes were as follows: CEDC What brought you to CEDC? What about CEDC inspires you? Numerous respondents felt that CEDC addressed something that was missing from their educational experiences. Students were inspired to use their growing knowledge to serve others and to make positive, tangible impacts for those less fortunate. EXPERIENCE What is an experience that stands out to you from your time with CEDC? What is something you’ve learned? Respondents appreciated the collaborative dimension of CEDC, and the opportunity to work together as a team. Students learned to trust the process and structures in place within CEDC, and they learned that undergraduates can make a huge impact. PROGRAM What might the new Center of Excellence allow CEDC to accomplish in Cange and beyond? Respondents frequently noted the importance of the COE as a place for knowledge exchange and for empowering local Haitians to master and maintain new systems and infrastructure improvements. It should be a place for bridging gaps in knowledge and skills. It should also serve as a model throughout Haiti for community-based dialogue and the incubation of sustainable development strategies. One comment (filed under Facilities, but perhaps better positioned here) noted the opportunity to teach community members “what they should be asking for.”

Center of Excellence RFP

CEDC + CRDC

FACILITIES: What should the new facility and grounds do and/or demonstrate? What must they accommodate? Numerous respondents agreed that the COE should be inviting in appearance and welcoming to the public. Many noted the importance of demonstrating sustainable and innovative building strategies, while likewise respecting context. In other words, the COE facility should not be foreign to its setting, but should nonetheless strive to illustrate “the art of the possible,” as David Vaughn is fond of saying. From the more in-depth programming conversations, other key values emerged, such as flexibility of space (particularly for any community meeting space), the utilization of passive systems for energy efficiency, and the importance of advancing construction practices through adhering to the standards of the International Building Code (IBC). It is clear to everyone involved that the COE should serve as the hub for CEDC’s operations in Haiti, and it was suggested that the COE emulate the role of Clemson Extension’s Research and Education Centers, but on an international scale. Additionally, it was stressed that the facility perform with resiliency, both in the face of natural disasters as well as routine power grid failures, periods of drought, and other threats.

Base Program The following programmatic objectives stem from the charrettes and conversations outlined above, as well as the earlier CEDC planning that is documented in its Spring 2018 Literature Review. The Literature Review estimated a total COE square footage of between 17,000 and 18,000 sf, excluding programmed exterior space. The floor-to-floor division of programming is based on the center’s need for segregating public and private spaces. Forecourt / Community Plaza Located at ground level, just off of Route 3, will be a forecourt. The size, surfacing, and layout of this forecourt is open for study. Most importantly, it should be flexible to accommodate a range of uses (both known and unknown), from parking and drop-off to small community events to informal gathering. Unlike neighboring towns like Mirebalais and Boucan-Carré, there is currently no distinct civic gathering space in Cange. This forecourt should remain open to the public and outside of any gates or first level of security for the COE and ZL campus. Public First Floor Located on level with the forecourt, the first floor of the COE is envisioned as the community development center and be open to the public during operating hours. The following programs should be featured on this floor. Additionally, design teams should pay attention to the nature and purposes of any threshold between the COE interior and the exterior forecourt. ● Flexible Public Meeting Space (may be supported by a small kitchen) ● Teaching and Demonstration “Dry” Lab (20 person capacity, 1000sf) ● Administrative area to serve as HUB for CEDC projects ○ Admin area should be mechanically conditioned and should support office space for a future facility manager as well as a conferencing / “war room” space for working meetings. ● Computer work stations, featuring GIS among other resources ● Some form of front desk / reception doubling as security check point ● Exhibition space (may be integrated into other 1st floor programming) ● Public restrooms of appropriate number ● Appropriate storage

Center of Excellence RFP

CEDC + CRDC

Working Ground Floor Given the hillside site of the proposed COE, there is the opportunity to make use of ground floor space, located below the first floor and opening up to the south east. CEDC envisions this as a place for laboratory research and back-of-house project support. This area would be closed off to the general public. ● Two conditioned “Wet” Labs (one “clean” and one “dirty”) and associated support ○ 2 hoods per lab (one laminar air flow and one fume) ○ More detail about the wet lab and dry lab needs, sizing and infrastructure is included in other CEDC COE background work ● Conditioned “hot desk” space to support lab / office work ● Shop / maker space for building and prototyping ● Indoor/outdoor work space for construction, staging, loading, unloading Residential Second Floor The private second floor is envisioned as living space for full-time COE residents with perhaps a little overflow built in. The target number of beds has not been settled, but 8 to 10 should be considered as a starting point to explore. The measure of passive versus active conditioning of this floor will remain open for study. ● Bedroom space for 8-10 individuals ● Shared kitchen ● Community dining table ● Community lounge space ● Full bathrooms of appropriate number Experimental Rooftop Any rooftop(s) should be viewed as opportunities for experimental programming and research projects as well as support for alternative energy strategies, water storage, grey and black water separation, etc.

Center of Excellence RFP

CEDC + CRDC

Additional Parameters ENERGY CONSUMPTION ● Passive lighting, conditioning and ventilation strategies should be employed where appropriate. ○ Beyond basic natural ventilation, design teams are encouraged to explore enhanced strategies that may be advantageous, such as thermal massing, solar chimneys, geothermal, etc. ● Onsite solar energy should be utilized ○ To date, it has been suggested that solar power be used for constant loads within the COE while CEDC hydroelectric power be used for intermittent loads. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units are available for backup. The overarching goal is to try and stay off of the Cange electrical grid. The CEDC hydroelectric project team is a good resource for additional insight. WASTE MANAGEMENT ● The COE facility should be serviced by onsite biodigesters for waste treatment. The CEDC biodigester project is described in Appendix 1. WATER ● Rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling should be implemented. BUILDING MATERIALS AND METHODS ● The COE facility should be designed to meet or exceed the standards of the International Building Code. ● Additionally, special attention should be paid to current best practices for resiliency. ● Selected building materials and construction methods should be attentive to material availability and workforce skill set.

Center of Excellence RFP

CEDC + CRDC

● Selected building materials and construction methods should be mindful of embodied energy, and in particular the carbon footprint of traditional cement.

Conclusion With this Request for Proposals (RFP) document as a foundation, along with other supporting background and technical information, the 2019 Graduate Comprehensive Studio in the Clemson School of Architecture is tasked with generating compelling and thorough design proposals for an important new facility in Cange, Haiti. The Center of Excellence will support the ongoing community and infrastructure work of CEDC and its partners in Cange and throughout Haiti’s central plateau. In short, the COE will be an instrumental part of CEDC’s future work toward: “SERVING THE DEVELOPING WORLD AND DEVELOPING THOSE WHO SERVE” The design proposals generated by the Studio will serve as a jumping-off point for the future design and completion of the COE. They will provide concepts around which planning and fundraising efforts can revolve. The specific format of Studio deliverables will be identified and discussed over the course of the semester.

Appendix 1: CEDC Projects in the Central Plateau CEDC’s clean water system for Cange is described in detail in the body of this RFP document. The following are descriptions of some other key projects that CEDC has administered in Haiti. More detailed summaries of these and numerous other projects are available in the CEDC Summit reports. Ba Cange Water System The Cange Water System carries water from Ba Cange to the greater Cange area where it is treated and distributed to the residents of the community that live along National Route 3. However, clean water was not initially returned to the community of Ba Cange, where people are forced to climb over 500 stairs to reach the clean water fountains of the Cange system. Consequently, citizens would drink the contaminated water in open sources closeby, leading to several cholera cases in the summer of 2015. In response, CEDC designed and built a small water treatment system in one of the CEDC pump-houses in Ba Cange to allow immediate access clean, drinkable water. Cange Latrine and Biodigester The Cange External Clinic Latrine, Biodigester, and Wetlands project began construction in 2012 and was completed in 2013. It was created as an effort to provide sanitary restroom facilities to the patients treated at the ZL External Clinic, and to subsequently treat that waste passively and sustainably. The latrine facility has Mens and Womens toilet stalls, with waste flowing to three biodigester bags. In these bags, the waste is treated through anaerobic digestion during its average 70 day retention time. The treated waste leaves the bags and enters a constructed wetland area. Methane gas created during the treatment process in the biodigester bags can be harvested for use. The methane was used for a time to supplement gas cooking at a rooftop cafê in the External Clinic building. Ecole Bon Sauveur Latrines This major project provided flush toilets and urinals for the hundreds of students who attend the local Episcopal school in Cange. Prior to their completion, all children and staff were forced to use unsanitary pit latrines.

Today, children at the school and in the surrounding community can use the flush toilets. These carry waste from the school all the way to the CEDC biodigester system described above.

Adopt a Village Needs Assessments The Adopt-A-Village initiative was supported by CEDC partner, the EDUSC, and gained momentum in the Fall of 2011, when a short-term team of CEDC students began assessing water conditions among villages around the Central Plateau. This initiative continued through 2013, after which “village assessment brochures” were created to document major water resource needs and solution sets for each village. In all, 19 villages around Cange were visited and assessed. Belle Aire Triage Water Treatment Following the Adopt a Village assessments, Belle Aire’s water quality was judged to be the worst, and therefore it became a candidate for the first

CEDC + CRDC

triage water system. The nimble system includes a four stage filtration system and solar powered UV light treatment to provide potable water at the source for the people in the village. Upon completion, water was tested to be clean and potable. Arcahaie Water System One of CEDC’s few projects outside of the Central Plateau, the Arcahaie Water System project consisted of upgrading an old water treatment system for an orphanage in Arcahaie, Haiti (just north of Port-Au-Prince). CEDC partnered with Children’s Lifeline, an NGO out of Kentucky, to finance and implement this fast-track project because several orphans had begun suffering from cholera due to ineffective water treatment. From problem identification to execution, the entire project was completed in just 12 weeks in late 2014. Water testing before and after the finished treatment system displays that hundreds of orphans are no longer exposed to cholera and other deadly pathogens. Morne Michel School Repairs In 2015, CEDC and Trinity Cathedral in Columbia, SC worked together to repair the St. Jean School at the village of Morne Michel in the Central Plateau of Haiti. Interns worked to create a solution to the terrible drainage around the courtyard, the leaking school roof, and eroding foundation along with providing light at night so students could study and adults could take nightly literacy classes. After several weeks of grueling hikes and hard labor, the school children had a brand new courtyard, new roof, solar panels with light bulbs, and a reinforced foundation at their school. CMU Testing The CEDC Concrete Testing project is ongoing and is aimed at researching common testing procedures and methodologies for evaluating concrete strength in order to create a feasible method for testing concrete and CMU blocks in Haiti. Their team will be able to use a hydraulic jack and 100 ton, 50 ton, and 20 ton hydraulic rams to simulate common testing procedures from international standards. These jacks will help evaluate which of these methodologies would be most feasible to implement in developing countries. The CEDC CMU team would be a good partner in conversations concerning alternatives to standard CMU modules as well as alternatives to traditional and carbon-intensive portland cement.

Appendix 2: Haitian Water Team in Cange The Haitian water team is comprised of individuals from Cange and the surrounding area who have been trained to manage and maintain the clean water system installed by CEDC. The water team works alongside CEDC interns, and is an essential part of a sustainable, community-based water infrastructure. The individuals described below each play important and complementary roles in the ongoing success of the water system, and also serve as conduits for communication in and around Cange - paving the way for other CEDC projects. Their work is funded by the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina (EDUSC). Kolón is responsible for managing the water team and for maintaining water flow to the community. Kolón has two daughters that are 15 and 1, and dreams to be able to send them to secondary school and then to university. Greg is responsible for daily water quality testing and adding chlorine when needed. He also does monthly service with the team, helps to fix anything that may be broken, and translates for the team when needed. Greg has a fiancee and a young son and dreams of getting married, having three children, buying a house and a car (a little car, not a big car) and visiting the U.S. with his children and wife.

STUDIO SETTING & STRUCTURE Over the course of the COE design project, the Graduate Comprehensive Studio was conducted with a well-defined schedule (as shown on the following page) and a carefully orchestrated collaboration between architecture students, who worked in pairs, and their counterparts from CEDC. The partners from CEDC fell into three categories: (a) director, David Vaughn, (b) students who had formerly interned in Haiti, and (c) the student “COE project team.” Interdisciplinary collaboration between the parties was particularly critical in the early stages, prior to the midterm. Monday afternoons during this period were set aside for the former interns to come into the studio and work directly with the architecture teams. While site design and building layouts were taking shape, the interns contributed vital insight into the day-to-day laboratory operations, reflections on ideal living arrangements, and thoughts about balancing security with public engagement. They offered ideas about how the work of CEDC could best be displayed and communicated in the new facility. They also provided a critical window into Haitian culture, having each spent multiple months in Cange during their internships. The interns acted both as special consultants and also as “clients.” These sessions were overseen by CEDC director, David Vaughn, as well as the studio faculty. Between these meetings, the architecture teams worked to respond to each week’s feedback while preparing concepts and questions for the next consulting session. The “COE project team” served a different, but complimentary role. One of 19 different project teams within CEDC, this group acted as a conduit to ongoing research from the other teams, such as those working on biodigesters, CMU quality, or the planned hydroelectric plant. The COE team gathered the studio’s technical questions, ranging from lab equipment needs to expected loads to recent construction precedents, and worked to supply answers from the most knowledgeable parties. David Vaughn filled in any gaps throughout the process, and later served as lead consultant, once the projects moved into the technical resolution stages in the second half of the semester. Additionally, two co-requisite architecture courses added depth by requiring thorough code reviews (Professional Practice course) and detailed environmental systems design and documentation (Technical Resolution course). *The above description is quoted and adapted from the paper titled Imagining a Healthy Future: Cross-Disciplinary Design for Sustainable Community Development in Cange, Haiti (by D.

PROJECT CHALLENGE In response to the context, the needs, and the aspirations described in the preceding RFP document, the 2019 Graduate Comprehensive Studio will take on the design of a new multipurpose â&#x20AC;&#x153;Center of Excellenceâ&#x20AC;? facility in Cange, Haiti. The project will be driven by a close collaboration with the Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC), the service learning organization that has worked in Cange and throughout the central plateau since 2009. Among the many infrastructure solutions implemented and operated by CEDC and their community partners, the purified municipal water system for Cange helped draw the attention of the World Health Organization, who suggested opening a Center of Excellence (COE) for the exchange of knowledge and the furtherance of testing and research. The COE program, as articulated through a series of charrettes in the Fall and reiterated in the RFP, has five main components: (1) Community Development Center and associated meeting space; (2) Laboratory spaces and workshop; (3) Administrative offices; (4) Residential quarters for CEDC interns and future staff and researchers; (5) Supportive Exterior Spaces for Gathering, Working and Demonstration

SolĂ¨ne Clavel Amanda Kristoff Center Of Excellence | Project 1 While the innovative engineering provided by the CEDC is a huge benefit to Cange, their influence began with simple interactions: the act of being there, teaching, playing, learning. These acts are fundamental in providing a cross-cultural understanding and give a voice to the people of Cange. Our goal is to provide a similar level of interaction at every scale of the building. In this way, the influence of the Center of Excellence will go beyond physical square footage and become a hub for ideas, collaboration, and action. At the smallest scale, the interaction starts with the creation of a single building block, creating a level of ownership for individuals. As the building blocks come together to form a wall, knowledge of the trade is gained. When the structure and form are built, so is the bond between Haitians and the CEDC strengthened, and a true sense of collaboration is formed. Once the building is completed, Haitians gain a community space where they will have the resources to take matters into their own hands and become self sufficient. Finally on a much larger scale of interaction, this proposal has the potential to be used as outreach in the form of a prototype for communities beyond Cange.

CREATING SPACE FOR LEVELS OF INTERACTION The building itself creates stratifications of program which were split into three main blocks focused on community, residential and research spaces. This configuration allows for many levels of interaction, ensuring that no one part of the building or community works alone.

Harrison Polk Masison Polk Center Of Excellence | Project 2 The center of excellence will leverage culturally and climatically sensitive architecture to empower Haitians by teaching safe and resilient building construction. The center will strengthen the existing partnership between CEDC and Cange - a partnership that is working to re-write generational effects on community, sustainability, natural resources, infrastructure, and hope in Haiti. Initial mapping of the surrounding site context in Cange revealed an opportunity to situate the new center as the continuation of an existing organizational arc that mirrors the geometry of the congested Route 3 axis. Influenced by this existing organizational curve, the conceptual framework for our project is [Dis]Continuity: the simultaneous connecting and separating, unifying and disrupting. We split this organizational arch into 3 zones of development: (1) A Public Street Face plaza at the front of the site (2) The Center of Excellence buildable zone in the center (3) The “Natural” Terrace at the back of the site.

THE EARTH BLOCK

CURE FOR 1-2 WEEKS

BEGIN CONSTRUCTION

Recycle earth that is displaced during initial site excavation and leveling. One cubic meter of soil can produce up to 160 earth blocks.

The machines required for pressing the soil are fairly small, can be accommodated on site, can be operated and by a few men, and do not require electricity.

The earth block can be produced in a variety of sizes. It has a compressive strength of 1900 psi. Approximately 1300 blocks can be produced in an 8 hour shift.

Blocks must be stacked and covered in order to cure for 7 to 14 days and ensure a strong, quality building material.

The bricks are designed to be modular and interlocking to make the building process f a s t e r. T h e f i n a l structures can be left unfinished or can be c o v e r e d i n p l a s t e r.

Stevie Chen Ksenia Krasnova Vertical Village | Project 3 One of the most basic concepts of Haitian culture and identity, which is “Lakou”, became our major inspiration and we use it as our design element in our project. Lakou is a traditional small internal courtyard, originated from voodoo ceremony in Haitian culture, which serves as a space for community gatherings. It is also a place for relaxation under some shading and greenery. The remote location of the village and the technological limitations supported a construction type that is effective and common throughout Haiti - concrete beams and columns with masonry infill. This type of structure allows for flexibility of shape, it provides a rigid frame which could be filled in when and where needed. The combination of these two premises lakou concept and structural concept - gave us a spatial solution with central vertical public space and smaller courtyards/terraces. We called this concept “vertical village”. There are three major design principles: (1) Public and residential areas are on the same level as the existing road while working spaces are in the basement. (2) All open spaces and terraces are used as public spaces with different levels of privacy. (3) Public spaces serve as vertical connections

COMMUNITY Kitchen Dining Meeting Space? Exhibit?

PUBLIC The Center of Excellence should operate as a showcase for the CEDC, community efforts, PROGRAM DIAGRAM and creative technologies for resilient life in Haiti.

We see the following connection opportunities: to showcase the building and its environmental to plaza technologies; provide collaboration space for local organizations; connect to adjacent facilities as teachable moments. Challenges include providing dynamic space for evolving technologies; defining engagement ADA ramps down, providing ‘tour’ of between CEDC and the local community; capitalizing on existing building techniques and facility materials; maintaining site integrity. Highlight water collection and provide passive cooling

Our proposed design scheme adopts the following strategies: embrace existing building CEDC Outdoor Interiorthat Court performs as a “tour”; knowledge; provide a variety of masonry infill solutions; circulation Access allows for ext. of public space and highlight water retention and distribution; implement low-energy/low-cost environmental provides passive ventilation corridor control (i.e passive ventilation).

PERSPECTIVES

PROJECT ABSTRACT

Bird’s Eye

Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries’ mission is to work with local communities in the Central Plateau of Haiti to develop sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life through interdisciplinary student-led initiatives that embody our core values in partnership with Clemson University, non-profit organizations, and industry. Since its inception as an organization, CEDC has been at work in Cange. The most notable project date was theto construction andExcellence operation of View oftoEntrance Center of a sustainable freshwater infrastructure, which provides clean water to some 20,000 people in the area through nine public fountains positioned throughout the town. The presence of CEDC in Cange continues to evolve and is now beginning to conceptualize their own headquarters, in the form of a Center of Excellence.
