1040 MASS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT With the COTE 10 Sustainability Measures in mind, this project was focused on activating the currently vacant lot of Mass Street and 11th Street in Lawrence, Kansas. The development consists of three retail suites at the pedestrian level, as well as various housing units with a green corridor above. There are 32 housing units, 8 of which are ADA accessible. Despite introducing a new material to the Mass Street facade language, the exterior faces of the development are of Downtown Design Guidelines. In contrast, the internal faces of the development are extruded and angular, creating private outdoor spaces in tandem with the green corridor.

As discussed, the core of this project is the focus on sustainability through COTE. As a result, the studio focused on developing the 10 sustainability measures specifically to our project. The triple bottom line was also critical to understanding how well our design benefited the community though sustainability - planet, profit, and people are all critical to a successful sustainability project. Planet is supported in 1040 Mass through the development of ecology on the gray field site. Nearly all horizontal surfaces are filled with vegetation, and there are spaces dedicated to trees, gardens, and different grasses. These various ecosystems should invite insects, birds, and mammals alike to the site. Profit is supported through the large retail spaces that are new to the Mass Street Experience. A grocery store, a daycare, and a gymnasium are all retail tenants that support the residents, as well as diversify the Mass Street experience. The residential tenants support the retail below, and visa versa, for a cyclical support system within the development. People are the core purpose and intent of architecture. This development has different spaces to support the needs and desires of people. From new retail spaces, to unique engaged vegetated areas, to the desirable location of this development, 1040 Mass supports its residents and the Lawrence community.

NUNEMAKER CAMPUS HONORS EXPANSION As Dirt Works Studio was pursuing construction for two classrooms, a project discussed next, the studio was also designing a 20,000 SF addition to Nunemaker Center, the home of the KU Honors Program. The renovation included a 500 seat lecture hall, additional education spaces, and more work spaces for students and professors. This scheme focused on the phrase “the heart of campus.� This addition deserved to be more than massing stacked on the current building - this scheme expands across the site to create a campus for the honors program. The building stretches to the honors dormitory, and creates a central communal space for interdisciplinary interaction. The addition utilizes passive techniques, mass timber structures, and transparency between the public and the KU Honors Program.

SITE SECTION - UNDERGROUND AUDITORIUM & HAVENS
Just as the program expands across the site, it also sinks into it. Large masses of program such as the lecture hall would be overwhelming above ground; therefore, the space was extended underground to utilize geothermal capabilities and create unique light experiences. In addition to the auditorium, study havens are also underground. The director of the honors program requested that we implement unique study spaces to attract students and provide a new resource. These study havens are circular in nature, unique to the geometry of the overall scheme, and look up to an oculus. This connects to the sensory garden above, and creates a unique light experience that promotes focus and individuality. This scheme grows with the honors program - by replicating existing characteristics of Nunemaker Center, as well as considering extensive site integration, this addition best fits the Honors Program’s needs and goals. The heart of the Honors program is a campus for all to learn and grow. OCULUS STUDY SPACES 24

DESIGN BUILD DIRT WORKS STUDIO In 2018, the KU Honors Program reached out to Chad Kraus, Dirt Works Studio Director, to propose a renovation of two classrooms at their home, Nunemaker Center. The spaces have been used for over 50 years for honors seminars, but students don’t use the spaces other than these courses. Dirt Works Studio executed an exciting revitalization of the spaces for modern learning. The goal of this design-build endeavor was to create warm, inviting spaces that can open up to the 10,000 SF building for events and connectivity. Through materials, transparency, and technology, Room 102 and Room 108 at Nunemaker Center are able to better fit students and the education provided through the KU Honors Program. Scan the code below to see more about Dirt Works Studio and the Nunemaker Classroom Renovations from Spring 2019.

VIENDRA DAYCARE & SCIENCE CENTER Located in Lakin, KS, Kearney County Hospital has been considering developing a childcare and exploration center to unite their community and promote active learning. Many parents work at the local Tyson plant, and are not from the Lakin area; therefore, the children need care services that the town of 2,000 cannot effectively support. In addition, the senior care facility associated with the hospital seeks more community involvement. The goal of this project is to foster intergenerational activity between the children at the daycare center and the seniors at the adjoining facility. Along with the child care, the client was considering an exploration center component to promote STEM learning, which the community currently lacks. Viendra is French for “to come” or “to gather.” This fits the goals and applications of this projects through its uniting of ages, abilities, and ethnicities.
36
CENTRAL CORE & PLAY LAB
The identity of this building, fundamentally, stems from childhood. Eric Carle’s books touch the lives of many children, such as though The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and this story of exploration and growth parallels the program and inspires form and function. The form of the caterpillar appears in section and plan: the childcare center attaches to the senior car facility, and curves to the east to contain an intergenerational courtyard. The overall form of the building grows upward from the ground, with spaces for children to interact. The transition from roof to ground creates a cocoon not unlike the caterpillar. The context of the site is very flat, and making the cocoon roof angular instead of smooth provided Lakin with its own man-made mountain. In addition, this cocoon can be seen when entering the town on Hwy 400, creating a landmark and icon for Lakin.

TINY LIVING MIXED ABILITY HOUSING The goal of this project was to develop a tiny living scheme that was accessible and engaging for all ages and abilities. This scheme was first modeled from a sprout - a simple growth of a leave create shelter and space, and the north concrete shells emulate this. In addition, the sprout form was modulated into one story, two story, and duplex units to create versatility and access. Though the living units have 600-800 SF, they have covered parking and a private garden. This scheme is most successful through its analysis of activity in the site and its separation of activity internally.
44
ENTRY & COURTYARD
Spreckelmeyer’s second year studio collaborated with Chad Kraus’ third year studio for our final project of the semester. Kraus’ studio developed 4 different master plans for an area of North Lawrence, and it was our task to choose a master plan scheme and design a housing scheme within it. The site section to the right shows part of Melissa Watson’s master plan, with my proposal in the top right.

MASTERPLANNING LAWRENCE GROUP Summer 2019 consisted of 4 weeks of study abroad in Europe and 10 weeks of experience in an architecture firm in St. Louis. The Lawrence Group opened my eyes to the diversity of projects and opportunties in architecture. I went on 6 site visits where I learned about construction during construction. In addition, I was heaving involved with ongoing campus master plan proposals for the University of Illinois Springfield. During this process, I was immersed in the design process every step of the way, and grew as an emerging professional.

During my time at the Lawrence Group, I learned about the extensive master planning process, and how quickly architects change course to meet the clients’ goals and requests. This spread showcases some of my graphic work for the UIS master plan, which included building renovations and new construction. I gained insight into the obligations during many phases of work: obtaining a client, doing research and pre-design, creating schematic work, and creating approved design documentation.

NICU RESEARCH MERCY HEALTHCARE In 2018, Mercy Healthcare System and the KU Health + Wellness Institute collaborated to create an unique internship opportunity. As a sole proprietor of Voelkerding Design Services, I was hired by KU, who was hired by Mercy, to do research for upcoming system design guidelines. On day one, I was told my internship was up to me. I could do research on surgery departments or neonatal intensive care units, and collect data and create reports on my findings. I engaged with NICU design, and specifically turned the attention to family accommodation as it pertains to NICU design. A 50 page research document complied all of this information for Mercy to use when creating NICU Design Guidelines. This portfolio only contains a brief view into the diagrams contained within that document, and a focus on Mercy St. Louis’ NICU.
58
MERCY JOPLIN - 3D IMAGE
The structure of schedule, documentation, and process was to my discretion, with mentoring along the way. To do the research on family accommodation in Mercy NICU’s, it consists of five phases.

To the right are comparisons between Mercy St. Louis, Mercy Springfield, and Mercy Joplin, the three hospitals compared in this research. Each facility has single family rooms (SFR’s) of different scale and age. These factors, amongst many, attribute to the family experience and how staff interact within these spaces. Healthcare relies on doctors and staff, but they can’t do their work without effective architecture.
Along with the immediate support of Mercy Healthcare Network through my coworkers and the kind medical professionals supporting my involvement, KU mentored my development through biweekly meetings.

PHASE 5
DIAGRAMS
After receiving critical feedback from parents and staff of the NICU, it was important to breakdown all of the data received so far into more diagrams for understanding and goal setting. Diagrams included in this section address: - Purpose – Flow – Locations – Zoning – Elements – Visibility Purpose Breakdown In figure 5.1, the overall plan of the Mercy St. Louis NICU is broken down to understand the purpose in each individual space, and to see purpose trends. Doing this reveals that the essence of design in the NICU is based upon a staff core surrounded by circulation, that is surrounded again by patient pods. Though the forms and access of circulation vary, it is all passed upon this centralized path. It is also clear to see how many staffpatient & support spaces do not have window access, and instead various support spaces gain this opportunity for no STAFF & SUPPORT reason other than location proximity. It is clear to see that the main family space is off od this corridor, and is patient space PATIENT SPACE family space fairly separate from most patient spaces. FAMILY SPACE public PUBLIC circulation

Staff Shadow Location In addition to visualizing the flow and utilization of the NICU, it was important to show where staff was located when shadowed to show the similar feedback from any location in the NICU. Staff work in different areas almost every shift, but tend to stay on either the green or the yellow side. Almost all staff were shadowed and interviewed when working in their pod, but in the case of neonatologists, they moved between pods constantly, and for simplicity’s sake they are marked in their place when first shadowed.

STUDY ABROAD ITALY / FRANCE / SPAIN Along with my internship at Lawrence Group, I was able to study abroad for four weeks in Italy, France and Spain. I had never been on a plane, or out of the country, or in a place where I was so out of my element. It showed me how to open my eyes up to the world, and how critical 5 minute sketches are to how I percieve the world. I drew with a micron .05 pen and 4 watercolors, and that was all I needed. 4,000 photos and 100 sketches later, study abroad showed me the diversity of urban landscapes and international lifestyles.

CONTEMPLATION WOODEN CHAPEL SPACE At the beginning of second year, our studio was tasked to make a nondenominational chapel space, and do so without technology. The project culminated into a detailed model that used an undulating a-frame structure and a facade that pulls away from the building. At the end of review, I asked my professor if I could bring it home to show my grandpa, who has been a woodworker most of his life. Sharing that experience with my grandpa was priceless, and when I came back to KU my professor decided he wanted to keep it for the archives. Not only was this experience an insightful introduction to proportions, materiality and scale, but I was able to share and learn with both my family and my education simultaneously. I am humbled and honored to have such a meaningful piece stay at KU.
