Work Proceeds on $57.2M Science Center at University of Utah By Chuck Harvey CEG CORRESPONDENT
Redevelopment and preservation are part of a $57.2 million, 133,000-sq. ft. Gary and Ann Crocker Science Center project on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The center has four levels overall, with three stories above grade. The building will house the Center for Cell and Genome Science and Center for Science and Math Education, as well as classrooms and laboratories for interdisciplinary science and math education. It also will provide incubator space. “Science is the foundation for so many different facets of modern life and the center will provide thousands of students each year
with the science and math skills so essential for personal and economic success in the 21st century,” said Gary Crocker, a major Science Center donor, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the project back in late March 2016. Completion of the new facility is slated for the end of October. Move in will take place in November and courses will be held in the space by the beginning of 2018. The Crocker Science Center is actually a redevelopment project within the President’s Circle. It features new construction along with preservation of an existing structure. It will convert the existing George Thomas Building into a state-of-the-art teaching and research center. see SCIENCE page 10

Adobe Unveils Plans for New $90M Facility in Lehi Adobe is growing. Over the past two years, its global employee base has grown by more than 30 percent. This growth includes a successful transformation to a cloudbased business; expansion of the digital marketing category; and several acquisitions including advertising technology leader TubeMogul. To position Adobe for even greater success and growth in the future, the company unveiled plans to expand its California and Utah facilities. This is a major investment in our U.S. presence and will add capacity for approximately 5,000 employees. Through construction of the new buildings, Adobe also will be able to increase the percentage of its employees in LEED/Green-certified buildings, which currently stands at 78 percent. “Our people are our most valuable assets,” said Donna Morris, executive vice president of customer and employee experience at Adobe. “Expanding our facilities will allow us to hire additional talent to research and build products, serve our customers and continue to grow across virtually every part of our business. We’re moving forward on

the planning and building process as quickly as we can.” New Building in Lehi, Utah Adobe first moved into Utah when it acquired Orembased Omniture in 2009, and built its marquee Lehi building in 2012. Adobe is now embarking on a “phase 2” build-
ing in Lehi, adding capacity for approximately 1,000 employees. With working space expansion within the existing Lehi building, the company expects to add capacity for approximately 1,260 employees altogether. The state of Utah has approved Adobe for a post-performance tax incentive of approximately $25.6 million to support the expansion efforts. “Adobe has been a pivotal asset to the strategic development of Utah’s Silicon Slopes,” said Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert. “They are an important influence in the community, and we are grateful for their continued investment in the state of Utah.” Major San Jose Expansion For Adobe’s San Jose headquarters, the company is under contract to buy additional land at 333 West San Fernando St. Once the land assessment and purchase is complete, the intention is to build a fourth tower with capacity for approximately 3,000 employees. see ADOBE page 8

Utah’s 50-Year Water Management PIRTEK Opens Program Marks New Beginning Newest Branch in Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) It took more than four years, but Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's Water Strategy Advisory Team has completed the state’s new 50-year water management plan. Herbert accepted the “Recommended Water Strategy” report that maps out a plan for using water over the coming decades in Utah, the nation’s second-driest state. Herbert offered high praise for the strategy’s authors, calling their effort unprecedented and holding it up as a “model of cooperation and collaboration for the rest of nation.” The 106-page plan stresses the importance of conservation and could herald an overhaul of the state’s waterpricing structure. It still calls for two expensive water projects, however. The plan recommends the construction of both the Lake Powell Pipeline and the Bear River Project, each estimated to cost more than $1 billion. “Utah is not running out of water,”
said Lynn de Freitas, a team member and executive director of Friends of Great Salt Lake. “I don’t see the need, and I don’t think the data justify the need, for those two projects.” The Recommended State Water Strategy does urge that the state make

During Wednesday’s ceremony, Herbert said he initially called for the creation of a statewide water management strategy because he believed it was necessary for Utah to analyze its future water needs before they reached a crisis level. A changing and variable climate will “We have swings in climate. We make water more difficult to come by, he said, and have had drought in the past, and demand will continue to we will have drought in the future.” increase as the state grows. “We have swings in cliGov.

UDOT Releases West Davis Corridor Final Environmental Impact Statement The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) today released the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a potential transportation corridor in western Davis and Weber counties. The Final EIS proposes a new 19-mi. highway from Farmington to West Point, connecting with I-15 and Legacy Parkway at Glovers Lane on the south end, and S.R. 37 (1800 North) at approximately 4000 West on the north end. Representing the final outcome of a seven-year process, the Final EIS details the West Davis Corridor (WDC) Study Team’s analysis of the western Davis and Weber community and environment. A total of 51 alternatives were developed and evaluated by the study team. This effort incorporated input from residents, farmers, community and environmental groups, cities, counties, state and federal resource agencies and other interested groups, which helped to refine the preferred alternative that is now being proposed. “After years of detailed analysis, collaboration, and extensive public outreach, together we’ve identified a transportation solution that will benefit western Davis and Weber counties for many years to come,” said Randy Jefferies, UDOT project manager. “The preferred alternative addresses current and future transportation needs while minimizing impacts to the community and environment.”
The number of households in western Weber and Davis counties is expected to increase by more than 65 percent by 2040, and Davis County is currently the second most densely populated county in the state. This one project will reduce traffic congestion west of I-15 by 35 percent in this area. With the release of the Final EIS, an official comment period will take place through August 31 to allow the public time to review the document and submit their comments to UDOT and FHWA. The Final EIS is available on the WDC website (udot.utah.gov/westdavis), as well as in hard copy form at city hall buildings and libraries throughout the study area. Comments can be submitted the following ways: • Online comment form: udot.utah.gov/westdavis • Email: westdavis@utah.gov • Mail: 466 North 900 West, Kaysville, UT 84037 All comments will be provided to FHWA for review and consideration. As the decision-making agency, FHWA, in coordination with UDOT, will respond to all comments received on the Final EIS and include those responses in the Record of Decision document.

Todd Miceli knows firsthand the importance of properly maintained and functioning hydraulic hoses. A former, successful owner of a construction equipment rental franchise, Miceli said this knowledge was a factor that prompted him to consider his own PIRTEK franchise. “As someone who owned 400 pieces of construction equipment, I understood the need for keeping equipment in top working shape, and the negative impact it has on businesses when it’s not,” Miceli said. His new service and supply center, PIRTEK Salt Lake City, opened for business in late June. The only franchise of its kind in the United States, PIRTEK provides hydraulic and industrial hose replacement sales and services, according to the company. When a hose failure occurs, PIRTEK helps eliminate downtime by sending a Mobile Service Vehicle to perform maintenance services on site. There are 70 PIRTEK franchises and a fleet of Mobile Service Vehicles throughout the United States. Globally, PIRTEK has more than 400 locations and 2,000 Mobile Service Vehicles in 23 countries. Miceli’s background lends itself well to PIRTEK ownership. He opened his rental franchise in 2005 and turned it into a successful business. After receiving his formal education from University of Rochester-Simon Business School, he served as chief financial officer for several companies. Despite working in high-profile corporate positions, in some cases as a founding employee, Miceli still longed to start another business. “I had the itch to do something on my own again,” he said. “I’m a very big fan of franchise models.” In 2012, Miceli moved from Massachusetts to Utah so he could be near the skiing community. It was there that he decided to get back into franchising. He considered Salt Lake City a strong location because of its current and projected economic growth. “It’s in the heart of the state,” he said. “The majority of the Utah population is located in a 50- to 60-mile radius from downtown Salt Lake City. It’s a solid location for us.” Miceli will seek business from the usual PIRTEK client base: manufacturing, recycling, construction and related businesses. But the area also has activity related to gas and oil exploration and production. Beyond that, Miceli said that PIRTEK is poised to offer service to the seven ski resorts that lie 45 minutes or so from his center. For more information, visit pirtekusa.com.

UTA Hosts Annual Transit Academy for Local, State Leaders Recently, UTA hosted its annual Transit Academy workshop. Transit Academy is designed for local and state elected officials and other community leaders to learn more about regional transit and transportation. This year’s event, which was attended by about 100 people, took place at UTA’s Jordan River Service Center (JRSC). JRSC is where UTA maintains its newer S-70 TRAX fleet as well as conducts overhaul activities for its older TRAX vehicles. The half-day event featured several workshops including a Q&A with Jerry Benson, UTA president and CEO, and a session on the role metropolitan planning organizations play in developing the regional transit system. Transit Academy participants also had the opportunity to tour the JRSC facility, including the shop floor, and drive a TRAX train. The event also offered a morning keynote by Juliette Tennert, director of economics and public policy at the Kem Gardner Policy Institute, regarding transportation’s role in vibrant economies. One of the most popular sessions at Transit Academy was a special panel presentation that included Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, chair of the Senate transportation committee; Sen. Gregg Buxton, chair of the House transportation committee; Rep.
“It all boils down to land use. Before we can really deal properly with transportation, we have to deal with density. We absolutely cannot land on where we should be with transportation without dealing with land use.” Wayne Niederhauser U.S. Senate
Mike Shultz; Senate Minority Whip Karen Mayne; and UDOT Executive Director Carlos Braceras. The panel was moderated by Andrew Gruber, executive director of the Wasatch Front Regional Council. The panel focused much of its discussion on the need to plan for the future when it comes to transportation, especially in the face of booming population growth. “We need to set the right policy today and be proactive so quality of life remains high,” Shultz said. “We can’t double the size of I15, that’s where transit comes in.” Niederhauser discussed the role land use plays in developing transportation infra-
structure. “It all boils down to land use,” he said. “Before we can really deal properly with transportation, we have to deal with density. We absolutely cannot land on where we should be with transportation without dealing with land use.” Niederhauser also said that local and state governments need to be united on this issue in the face of huge population growth. “If we don’t, we may have to face unbelievable gridlock on our roads,” he said. “There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when dealing with land use, but in 10 years the Salems and the Benjamins will be the
Herrimans of today. Now is the time to plan, and if we do it right, we can improve our quality of life.” Buxton echoed this sentiment. “Double decking I-15 will be the reality,” he said. “We need to be able to move things through our communities, and if we can’t move things, companies will stop coming. These are big issues we need to work on incrementally.” Braceras talked about how Utah’s advantage is its strong population growth. “Companies are looking for a well-educated and good workforce, but underlying this is that things have to work including transportation. Transportation is connections. If it works well, people forget it exists,” he said. “Growth can be an opportunity or a challenge. Transportation can improve the quality of our lives.” Mayne noted that huge population growth is taking place on the west side of Salt Lake Valley today. “Herriman will grow by 17 percent in 20 years,” she said. “Mobility is a concern, so neighborhood bus service is important.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
UTA Awarded Grant for FrontRunner Training Simulator
The grant award also will be used to improve the communication system between FrontRunner trains and the signal houses to enhance the existing safety system. UTA will receive $3.52 million to continue upgrading its Positive Train Control System or PTC.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have announced that UTA will receive $3.52 million to continue upgrading its Positive Train Control System or PTC. Part of these funds will be used to purchase a rail simulator so that operators can train and test on a computer like they do on the actual rail line. This will add yet another level of safety, as operators will now be better prepared before starting to operate on the system, and they will be able to continue training to improve their skills throughout their tenure as an operator. “This grant will help complete the Positive Train Control safety upgrade for the UTA FrontRunner rail system that has been under design and construction for the past three years,” said Dave Goeres, chief safety and security officer. “We are on track
to complete the safety improvement well ahead of the regulatory deadline of December 31, 2018.” The grant award also will be used to improve the communication system between FrontRunner trains and the signal houses to enhance the existing safety system. PTC systems are designed to prevent certain train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zones and trains routed to the wrong tracks because a switch was left in the wrong position. UTA’s FrontRunner trains already have a speed control function that would prevent a train from traveling above the posted speed limit, which caused the accident involving the Amtrak train in 2015 outside of Philadelphia.

Gov. Herbert Breaks Ground on Wasatch Resource Recovery Gov. Gary R. Herbert participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for Utah’s first anaerobic digestion facility for processing food waste. Using the latest technologies available, the facility will begin turning garbage into clean, renewable energy for Utah’s communities by fall of 2018. Once the facility opens, Wasatch Resource Recovery will process materials from across the Wasatch Front, ranging from food and beverages to manufacturing waste. Instead of heading to landfills, these expired items will be sent to this plant, which will convert the materials into clean energy. This North Salt Lake center comes as the result of a publicprivate partnership between ALPRO Energy & Water and the South Davis Sewer District, with a full endorsement and significant support of the Governor’s Office of Energy Development (OED). At the ceremony, Herbert
commended Wasatch Resource Recovery’s founders on their dedication to innovation, Utah’s future, and the environment. He then ceremonially broke ground on the building site along with North Salt Lake Mayor Leonard Arave; Sen. Todd Weiler; Bruce Alder, developer of the project and owner of Alder Construction; Dal Waymant, manager of the South Davis Sewer District; and. Laura Nelson, executive director of OED. Numerous other city council members and lawmakers also participated in the event, lending their support to this exciting new project.

As an early pioneer to downtown, Adobe is excited to continue its investment in the community. Adobe was the first major technology company to invest in downtown San Jose real estate, more than 20 years ago, building urban high-rise towers on Park Ave., rather than a typical sprawling tech campus. The company has since grown to 2,500 employees in 900,000 sq. ft. The proposed new building will more than double the San Jose employee capacity to approximately 5,500. “We’re thrilled to see many months of work with Adobe and its partners culminate in this announcement of Adobe’s bold expansion of their global headquarters in San Jose, further enhancing downtown’s burgeoning momentum as Silicon Valley’s urban center,” said Mayor Sam Liccardo. “We applaud Adobe for its catalytic role in driving innovation in the Valley over the last quarter century, and we thank its employees for their strong ethos of corporate responsibility which has made the company a wonderful community partner, and a global
leader in sustainability.” Specifics of the San Jose plans are still in development and Adobe said it will share more details in early 2018.
Expanding Other Bay Area Sites To keep up with San Francisco and East Bay growth, Adobe is expanding its leased space in San Francisco and Emeryville. In San Francisco, we are leasing the entire office space being developed at 100 Hooper St., with expected capacity for 1,200 employees. Expected completion of this new space is fall 2018. In the East Bay, Adobe intends to maintain its Emeryville facility acquired through TubeMogul and has increased space capacity there to more than 400 seats. “There is really no comparison to working alongside your colleagues in a beautiful and cutting-edge space. These buildings are going to be the foundation for a lot of exciting work to come,” said Morris.

Crocker Science Center Blends Old, New Construction SCIENCE from page 1
The George Thomas Building comprises the original U-shaped portion of the existing building. Spanning 71,000 sq. ft., it will receive a seismic upgrade and reconfiguration of spaces with an eye to preserve the exterior, key spaces and components of the interior. The George Thomas building was constructed in 1933-35 as the university’s main library. In 1968, the library had outgrown its space and the building was converted into the Natural History Museum of Utah. The Natural History Museum of Utah moved to a new facility in 2012, making the historic George Thomas Building available for reuse and repurposing. Meanwhile, 13,200 sq. ft. of infill space at the south end of the building previously used for book storage, will be demolished and replaced with a 52,500-sq. ft. addition. The addition will hold the Cell and Genome Research Center labs. The research component of the new building will draw on faculty from biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics and astronomy departments to study the basic machinery of living cells. The educational component will provide undergraduate students abundant
laboratory opportunities as well as smaller classrooms and regular interaction with faculty. In addition, a commercial incubator will bring scientists in the college together with those in the private industry to develop ideas with commercial potential. EDA Architects of Salt Lake City provided design work for the project. Okland Construction of Salt Lake City is contractor. The com-
pany constructs buildings for a variety of uses including laboratories, educational facilities including college and university facilities and medical use. It built the EVIT Health Science Center expansion for East Valley Institute of Technology in Mesa, Ariz.

Sciences Building. The building houses labs and classrooms of various disciplines. Project manager for the Gary and Ann Crocker Science Center is Michael Beck M.D. at the University of Utah. Construction Is Well Along “The project is down to the finishing details,” said Shireen Ghorbani, associate director of communication, planning, design and construction, at the University of Utah. “All walls and concrete are complete.” Heavy equipment on site includes a tower crane and material delivery trucks. About 200 workers from about 20 subcontractors are at the construction site on a daily basis. Over the course of the project, crews will have laid 6,000 cu. yds. of concrete and installed 680 tons of steel. Workers brought in gravel for access and concrete work. Prior to that, dirt had to be removed from the project site. The Crockers Provided Substantial Donation Gary and Ann Crocker provided a personal gift of $10 million toward the project. Additional funding came from the state and
donations from other benefactors. Gary Crocker, who has a long history of service to the University of Utah, has served as chairman of the board of Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, a publicly traded cancer therapy drub firm in Boston. He recently received final FDA approval for a novel pancreatic cancer drug. Ann Crocker, a graduate of the University of Utah, serves as a board member of the Utah Shakespearean Festival and the Sorenson Legacy Foundation. Maximizing Safety, Minimize Disruption The project site is on historic Presidents Circle and close to several other historic buildings. All are fully occupied and in use. “Site safety has been paramount and traffic control plans for pedestrians and vehicles have maintained safe circulation in the area,” Ghorbani said. “Often, large loads or large concrete pours were scheduled in off hours to reduce the impact to the campus community.” Unique Historical Preservation Through the project, the University of Utah has been able to see SCIENCE page 11

demonstrate a commitment to successfully reuse and repurposed a notable historic building while preserving its historical character. The decorative precast exterior of the original building is being carefully restored and new windows and doors installed that match historic conditions. Within the interior historic features, including the entry corridor and stairway, wood paneling, marble wall cladding, stainless steel railings and other original materials or engravings are being restored. The 45- by 19- by 28-ft. tall main reading room is a unique vaulted historic space that is being sensitively divided into large lecture halls while preserving the historic volume and detailing. Blending Research, Teaching Functions It will be highly-collaborative space. Efforts were made to integrate teaching space, labs, offices and research areas. The result is that the education component and labs do not feel like two separate buildings.
The new lab area is built primarily of concrete. The new addition was designed to complement the historic structure. The windows are a unique feature of the update. The new windows retain an historic feel and character, while providing a muchimproved and more energy efficient window. Project upgrades include new electrical and mechanical systems that contribute to an overall improvement in efficiency. The exterior of the original building has been washed and sealed. Project Remains on Schedule Some cultural items of historical significance were found on the project site that caused significant work reorganization during excavation and recovery of the items. “Fortunately, the location and timing of this discovery did not delay the overall work,” Ghorbani said.
