2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OVERVIEW This RFQ presents descriptive findings from various sources and studies regarding design and how design impacts the environment of its inhabitants. In the case of educational design we want to create a learning experience for students, staff, and faculty that changes the way how one thinks about their space and environment. The George Washington University’s Mount Vernon Campus is located in the verdant Foxhall neighborhood of Northwest Washington, DC, just three miles northwest of the Foggy Bottom Campus. Mount Vernon provides a more traditional college campus than its Foggy Bottom counterpart while still offering students easy access to all the nation’s capital has to offer. Mount Vernon is an integral part of the GW experience and features a variety of academic, residential and social options for students. Today’s college student is more attuned to design than ever before. Reared on a visual diet that includes commercial influences from Apple, Target and other design-savvy product manufacturers and retailers, they are looking for similar visual and functional experiences in the university environment. Gone are painted concrete block, terrazzo floors and 2-foot-by-4-foot lay-in ceilings with fluorescent lighting, and uncomfortable furnishings (if any) in common areas. Today’s interiors feature a broad range of finishes and furnishings, creating spaces that encourage students to linger and collaborate.

I. COLOR

II. FURNITURE

We have noted an increase in requests to “brand” interiors. Many university athletic programs have had great success promoting support for their teams by intensive integration of school colors and logos into facilities and programs. Colleges and universities are aggressively marketing themselves to prospective students, and have realized that creating a strong connection can be assisted by the use of school colors and imagery. However, this approach is not without issues. Most school colors were chosen to be intense, and to be used on uniforms, banners and print materials. Overeager marketing directors may insist on the use of the school’s exact matching Pantone colors for interior finishes. While this may work well for athletic facilities that receive only occasional use, it can be a bit extreme for interior spaces such as student centers, dining facilities and residential spaces that are used on a daily basis.

Collaborative environments continue to be popular and everyone wants everything on wheels — everyone, that is, except for the staff responsible for maintaining the arrangement and inventory! Increasing options in mobile furniture have indeed done much to allow students and faculty to create configurations that foster a specific learning need or task. Strategies such as coding furnishings and upholstery in specific colors can be employed to identify distinct spaces. If a piece then “travels,” it’s easy for staff to recognize the odd item and get it back to its proper home.

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY III. INTEGRATION The top priority on user lists these days is integration of technology. The need to hardwire power and data connections can run counter to the desire for flexibility. Increasing speeds in wireless technology have eliminated most needs to have a hardwired data connection, but provision of power is still an issue. With the increasing amount of material available online, libraries in particular are moving away from being warehouses for books and printed material. They are becoming digital learning centers where staff and systems are designed to help them find, sort and interpret the vast amount of reference materials out there. Furniture must accommodate both university-owned and controlled technology, while still accommodating studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal laptops, tablets and phones.

IV. FABRICS When it comes to choosing fabrics, the age-old struggle between comfort/ aesthetics vs. durability/maintainability is getting easier. Whereas the designer used to need to choose between these, now you can have both. New vinyl choices come in a multitude of textures, many that look and feel like a fabric instead of vinyl. Some have self-healing capabilities that protect against concern of punctures from pencils or pens. There are even metallic and iridescent options. Vinyl continues to be a good choice for areas subject to high wear, such as the seat cushion.

V. MATERIALS Increased focus on aesthetics, coupled with a greater range of durable choices, has allowed a wider variety and more options for interior finishes. Another trend is authenticity; students are gravitating to designs that convey a sense of soul. Natural materials such as stone or weathered wood help bring a layer of history to a new or renovated space. The use of wood finishes is popular as a way to introduce visual warmth into spaces. New production technologies have allowed plastic laminates, ceramic tile and vinyl films on metal panels to be acceptable and often superior functional substitutes for wood. As trends come and go, some of these ideas will fade away, but the increasing variety of color, material, furniture and interior finish options will only grow.Â Our goal is to design spaces that result in function, practicality, and sustainability.

3. APPROACH

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: This project will provide preliminary design services for the design of new facilities and renovation of the existing Academic Building on the Mount Vernon Campus located at 2100 FoxHall Road, NW Washington DC 20007. The main objectives of the GWU project are to facilitate creative learning, improve administrative support, while maintaining the distinct character and reputation of the GWU Columbian Colleges of Arts and Sciences (Department of Interior Architecture and Design) program.

3. APPROACH PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes; • 30,000 sf of new studio space • 15,000 sf of existing to be renovated studio space • 5,000 sf of administrative space • 10,000 sf of support space (resource library, storage) • 700 sf new computer laboratory

A formal scope of work will be developed after consultation selection. The consultant contract for preliminary design is expected to include the following elements: • Base mapping of existing conditions • Multi-use design • Retaining wall locations and design • Channelization plans • Utility design coordination • Identify all Local Agency, State and Federal permits that will be required • Identify all wayfinding needs, including circulation and easements Other work elements in the consultant contract will also include items such as developing a project work plan, providing project management, and sub-consultant coordination activities. CONCEPT: EXPANSION (See Next Page) 5

3. APPROACH-Concept

The design integrates buildings and landscape together through a ring of individual structures connected by a large, ridged rooftop. With this roof, spaces between the buildings can be used as multifunctional, semi-covered learning spaces, activity zones, and flow areas, all of which diffuse into the central and outer landscaped areas. With the concept of responsive spaces in mind, each building’s learning spaces are built not “specifically to the classic subjects such as design, but to the activities related to them,” which “expands their classical use and incorporates an activity based on functionality. This means that the school’s different spaces hold different spatial qualities, which suit certain activities or subjects, but are not limited to one singular use.”

7. PROJECTS-A ”THIS PROJECT CREATES A REASON TO COME AND REMAIN DOWNTOWN. THE OVERALL SITE PLAN PROVIDES GREAT ASPIRATIONS FOR THE FUTURE.” SCUP/AIA-CAE EXCELLENCE IN CAMPUS

COLUMBUS STATE UNIVERSITY RIVERPARK Uptown Performance and Visual Arts Campus Columbus, Georgia The 125,000-square-foot Performance and Studio Arts Complex helps rejuvenate the historic downtown while raising the visibility of the college's growing arts programs. Consisting of a renovated cotton warehouse for studio arts and a new performance complex for theater programs along the Chattahoochee River, the campus seamlessly blends two distinct programs into a single building to create synergy between disciplines

The two different programs required unique approaches. The Studio Arts program with nine studios fits within the 22-foot height of the cotton warehouse. The new theater complex, clad in locally quarried brick, occupies the site of two demolished warehouse bays. An expansive glass curtain wall and garden courtyards unite the new brick theater and existing warehouse, bringing light and landscape into the buildings.

7. PROJECTS-B UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA Museum of the North Expansion Fairbanks, Alaska “ A BEAUTIFULLY SEDUCTIVE, SCULPTURAL BUILDING THAT'S ALL ABOUT THE SKY. THE IDEAS ARE CARRIED OFF WITH SURPRISTING SIMPLICITY.” AIA MINNESOTA HONOR AWARDS JURY

The Museum of the North evokes the topography of the far north. The design consists of four abstract forms-angled, curved, tipped and cantilevered-to reflect the lines and shapes of Alaska's coastlines, mountains, and glaciers. The horizontal layering, seemingly setting the building in motion, reflects Alaska's shifting plate tectonics. Roof planes curve and slope from every angle, playing a critical role in the articulation of form and space. Clad in custom pearlescent-white aluminum composite panels with mica flakes, the addition envelopes the existing building, its metallic finish subtly capturing Fairbanks' varied light patterns. Inside, the museum's heart is a sculptural two-story lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the Alaska Range, Mount McKinley and the Tanana River Valley.

7. PROJECTS-C COLLEGE OF SAINT BENEDICT Academic Building Saint Joseph, Minnesota The Saint Benedict Academic Building presents a new model of student engagement by focusing on learning, connections and stewardship. Joining the landmark Main Building and the Bendicta Art Center (also by HMF), the academic building anchors the campus's southern gateway as the first major construction of the 21stÂ century-a 100-year building flexibly designed to accommodate the evolving nature of education. The 113,000-square-foot building will house the psychology, economics, computer science and mathematics departments for Saint Benedict and companion Saint John's University. Classrooms, faculty offices, laboratories and common spaces-all closely aligned-will enable faculty, students and staff to connect formally and informally in vibrant learning environments that foster interdisciplinary discussion. The building promotes openness and transparency throughout. The two-story lobby is a soaring space with views to different levels and circulation spines. Various seating arrangements encourage student gatherings and conversations. Skylights stream natural daylight, and two-story-high glass walls visually connect the interior to the exterior.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN The building features energy-efficient mechanical systems with ground-source heat pump, energy recovery wheel, chilled-beam technology, and optimized building controls. Other sustainable highlights include a green roof, locally sourced materials, optimized building envelope, storm-water collection system, storm-water infiltration system, indigenous plantings, and restoration landscaping reforested with native trees. 15

Located at the foot of Washington Ave n u e p e d e s t r i a n b r i d g e connecting the Campus Mall with the West Bank campus, the building overlooks t h e M i s s i s s i p p i R i ve r a n d downtown Minneapolis skyline. The architecture facilitates pedestrian flow through the building while visually engaging the Mississippi River valley through a sweeping glass wall with energy-efficient glazing. Inside, a centrally located spiral staircase connects to different levels, where Active Learning Classrooms foster interactive student-centered learning. Serving dual purposes of classroom and student services (such as academic advising, career counseling and registration), the building establishes a new campus landmark.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Because this building serves as a classroom and student service center, HMF designed the infrastructure to efficiently handle heavy traffic flow through the building and around the site.

The electrical infrastructure supports this new paradigm in classroom education, in which wi-fi zones, smart boards and new technology engage students throughout the building.

The STSS building redefines the University's southwest entrance with a welcoming network of arced paths and stairs along a 50-foot riverfront grade. Collectively, these pedestrian landscape elements--which address the river and the architecture-provide a sense of place within the larger campus.

The building's mechanical engineering system incorporates under-floor air distribution, natural daylighting, total energy recovery, individual temperature controls and highefficiency lighting systems, including LED for long-term sustainable results.

Great teachers, stable families and a school’s location have long been said to be key to student success. But a new study out of the United Kingdom suggests that a school’s physical design can improve or worsen children’s academic performance by as much as 25 percent in early years. The year-long study by the University of Salford’s School of the Built Environment and British architecture firm Nightingale Associates examined 751 students in 34 classrooms across seven primary schools for the 2011-2012 academic year. Students were assessed at the beginning and end of the year for academic performance in math, reading and writing, and classrooms were rated on environmental qualities like classroom orientation, natural light, acoustics, temperature, air quality and color. The researchers found that classroom architecture and design significantly affected academic performance: Environmental factors studied affected 73 percent of the changes in student scores. “It has long been known that various aspects of the built environment impact on people in buildings, but this is the first time a holistic assessment has been made that successfully links the overall impact directly to learning rates in schools,” Peter Barrett, a professor at the University of Salford, said in a statement. “The impact identified is in fact greater than we imagined and the Salford team is looking forward to building on these clear results.”

The study will continue for another 18 months across an additional 20 schools in the U.K. Researchers seek to apply their findings to help schools maximize their investment in the learning environment

Architecture and design magazine Dezeen reports architects in the U.K. are now using the study to fight the government’s recent restrictions on school building designs, including a ban on curved and glass walls. Education department officials, on the other hand, are dismissing the study’s preliminary findings. “There is no convincing evidence that spending enormous sums of money on school buildings leads to increased attainment. An excellent curriculum, great leadership and inspirational teaching are the keys to driving up standards,” a government spokesperson told Dezeen. The Salford-Nightingale findings come as an estimated 14 million children in the United States attend crumbling public schools with leaking roofs, moldy walls and dangling ceiling tiles, among other deteriorations. The National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers union, says the situation has gotten so bad that at least one-third of the United States’ 80,000 public schools need “extensive” repair. A 2007 Department of Education survey found that 43 percent of schools in the U.S. see the condition of their buildings as “interfering with the ability of the school to deliver instruction.” The effects of such conditions were reported to range from lower student achievement to reduced teacher productivity. Just refurbishing those schools into “good overall condition,” however, would require $127-322 billion in spending, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Still, local governments around the world are reshaping students’ learning experience through forward-thinking school designs.
