5 Due to the expansion of the University of Kansas Honors Program, the organization is in need of additional spaces to elevate their instruction capabilities and further engage their students. When the KU Honors Program began, it was considered “a college within a college,” a concept that is represented in this porposal. By strecthing the program across the site and using campus concepts, Nunemaker Center is now the college that the honors students and faculty deserve.

Through the various developments of this scheme, the phrase “the heart of campus� seemed to be a strong commonality that deserved to be explored further. The anatomy of a heart and how it interacts with the lungs to create flow and pulse inspired this scheme: the flow of the campus radiates from the central core and pulls from its site influences, and the sensory garden acts as the urban lungs. Also, passive design strategies were utilized in conjunction to a mass timber structural system to create a sustainable design. A strong north insulative threshold creates a place to store power generated from solar panels as well as a shelter to the campus. The elevations of the building are determined by solar angles and water drainage.

CAMPUS LUNGS
To have an engaged campus, the central lungs were crucial to the engagement of honors and non-honors students. In addition to a living hill atop the auditorium, the sensory garden has various seating options with an anatomy-inspired journey through it. In this space, you can see the action of indoors and outdoors, and have a strong sense of place in the campus. The havens look up to the lungs, with morphic light qualities from the tree’s shade and engagement with the sensory garden. This project will be further developed in Spring 2019 following the completion of Dirt Works Studio 2019 - Nunemaker Center Classroom Renovation.

To design for children, concepts reverted to childhood memories. The imagination of reading and seeing composite images remembered to this day, especially the very hungry caterpillar. This overlapping, artistic expression of nature inspired Viendra, a daycare and exploration center in Lakin, Kansas. This development will engage the community to learn more about STEM and create a safe daycare space the community needs. Viendra, French for “to come,� symbolizes the unity and engagement that this center will provide.

SOUTH COURTYARD CONNECTION
The goal of this project was to design a facility that doubles as a 24/7 daycare and exploration center, as well as an opportunity for intergenerational involvement in the community. This design involves a direct attachment to the current senior care facility, therefore creating a courtyard space for activity of all ages. Its overall form was inspired by the undulating nature of a caterpillar: the plan curves around the center courtyard space in a similar way to a curved caterpillar form, and the overall massing of the structure undulates in a similar way. This design highly incorporates the seniors ability to interact with the children, and creates many opportunity for community and state-wide involvement

Interior finishes were meant to be warm and colorful, an atmosphere that kids and parents alike would feel welcome and energized by. The vernacular color spectrum of greens, blues, and bright yellows creates an inviting experience that feels natural. The palate is the same for the exploration center and the daycare. This proposal explores angular forms colliding with vernacular traditions. The connection to the senior facility creates more intergenerational engagement community, and creates unity between young and old.

The best way to divide a “tiny home� unit was through introvert and extrovert space, as well as through activity spaces and service spaces. This grid system determined actions occurring in the four quadrants of my buildings: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living space. The form came from the icon of growth, a sprout, and created shelter and identity to the spaces.

PLAN CONCEPT
The urban development of this housing complex was crucial to its impact on the surrounding areas and its own privacy factors. Each unit looks out to the central green space with amenities for any age or ability. Each unit also has public and private porches, along with covered parking and a garden space. These amenities are rare to find in most developments, and create more versatile, adaptable environments.

FLOOR PLAN
There is an initiative in Lawrence to shrink the minimum lot size from 4,000 sqft to 1,000 sqft, as well as a need and desire for intergenerational housing developments to engage many aspects of the community. Each unit has its own wood cladding, corrugated metal sheathing,and front door color to add a personalized touch to every unit. On the interior, the mostly open floor plan provides just as much flexibility and personality. There are many opportunities with outdoor engagement to promote interaction in the community. This initiative would promote sustainable designs and urban developments, and shows that intergenerational living benefits every community member.

In the summer of 2018, I had to opportunity to research a specific healthcare department and create data for Mercy to have effective and improved designs in the future. I chose NICU, neonatal intensive care unit, research because of its complexity and rapidly adapting systems. To do the research, I broke it down into five phases:

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 STAFF & SUPPORT staffpatient & support spaces do not have window access, and instead various support spaces gain this opportunity for no PATIENT SPACE reason patient space other than location proximity. It is clear to see that the main family space is off od this corridor, and is FAMILY SPACE family spaceseparate from most patient spaces. fairly

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.
