about _JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY B ARCHITECTURE, CLASS OF 2019 _ewingcole, DESIGN PROFESSIONAL Architecture gives us the ability to creatively bring positive change in this world through the built environment. The academic and professional projects within showcase a range of scales, programs, and audiences, all set on an existing site demanding sensitiveity for the social, cultural, and economic characteristics of the site.

and manufacturing facilities to design labs and suites that will positively impact the lives of millions through their constantly evolving, cutting-edge medical science. The success of each lab or facility lies in sharing the client’s passion for the altruistic nature of their research by also designing with the same human responsibility.

Through research and studio, I had the opportunity to explore geographic locations, conduct energy and passive system studies, and dive into the sociocultural factors that would push a design to harmonize with the site. I believe my passion for working within a culture or with a specif ic user group during my thesis as well as my professional work has produced the most rewarding outcomes. In EwingCole’s Life Sciences department, I had the opportunity to work intimately

For my future work, I choose to focus on that responsibilty. The amazing user groups that I design for inspire me to set higher design standards and strive to make a positive impact on the environment. I would like to nurture that inspiration through further study and empower myself to bring about a rigorous change in the way we approach design in the profession.

c.r.u.- crisis response unit _project site - mass casualty/ road traffic incident sites in malawi, africa _Professor - Christopher Harnish, 215-951-0112, Christopher.Harnish@jefferson.edu Road traff ic injuries are the leading cause of adult injury-related deaths in Malawi at 30%. Death at the scene of the crash may be due to either critical and maximum injury severity or poor post-collision care. Factors such as delay in emergency services, lack of ambulance services, and shortage of pre-hospital teams effect the victims chance of survival in this setting. The emergency response and trauma services in Malawi are quite disorganized and at many times non-existent. To reduce the number of road fatalities on scene, providing adequate post-collision care is imperative. By enabling f irst responders at the crash site to conduct eff icient triage, victims can be quickly organized into groups that need to be taken to a healthcare facility and that can be treated on-site. If critical victims are identif ied earlier, they can be transported in the emergency vehicle to the nearest healthcare facility while other victims can be attended to on-site by the paramedics.

c.r.u. module axonometric The C.R.U. could act independently, or as a part of a larger web of Crisis Response Units to deal with larger mass casualty events. Individual units are designed to be able to be walked through and create a continuous circulation path on-site. C.R.U. strives to be able to provide an effective area for treatment and create some organization on an incredibly chaotic site. By establishing this organization, it is easier for medical staff to be able to triage critical victims quickly and administer emergency stabilization. The response time which could otherwise be wasted attempting to transport each victim to a healthcare facility to then await triage in an overwhelmed facility is now cut to a fraction by providing an organized space to conduct that triage initially on site.

nintendo _project site - 305 S Los Angeles St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 _Professor - matthew gindlesparger, 215-951-0260, Matthew.Gindlesparger@jefferson.edu Nintendo has been constantly moving towards a more digitally dependent type of play but their goal for the future is to reconnect physical play to their gaming devices. This connection between the digital and physical play is what we strive to achieve in our Research & Development Center. This new research and development center based in Los Angeles provides an inclusive experience at the intersection of upcoming DTLA and the historic Toy District with an immersive and disorienting interior program topped with an open, physical landscape. The adjacency of a real, physical landscape and the immersive digital environment will strive to build a strong relationship between the two types of play. The landscape compliments the character of the spaces beneath it and the f luidity is carried into the building through the curved columns. Group project done with Matthew Shafran. All graphics and modeling shown are of my own work.

the williamsburg village _project site - 70- 102 Quay Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY _Professor - JEFF KANSLER, 215-951-0119, Jeffrey.Kansler@jefferson.edu In the next 50 years, Williamsburg is predicted to see a rise in land value and widespread repurposing of existing family owned businesses and retail. As the smaller businesses in the area begin to dwindle in number due to the introduction of larger commercial chains and high rises due to the rise in land value, the neighborhood will go through a cultural reform and gentrif ication as it has done so in the past. Creating an affordable hub for these intimate family businesses to grow and recreate the culture of Williamsburg allows the area to preserve a piece of the past within the future development of the area. Due to a predicted rise in water levels in the area as well, a water taxi transit system was included as a programmatic element. This nexus will combine the future of Williamsburg’s needs for transport, residence, and cultural preservation as well as facilitate its continuous evolution.

MEDICAL DEVICE manufacturing FACILITY

equipment plans & details _project site - confidential _Project manager - aitor sanchez-prado, 267-441-9295, asanchez@ewingcole.com This new generation of contact lens manufacturing equipment required an intimate collaboration between disciplines to achieve moments such as this raised equipment platform over a tiered solvent trench system. All necessary output piping is run through the existing slab on grade as this suite was designed in an existing space. For the piping to make its way through the existing foundation wall into a solvent pump room, extensive surveys were conducted of the dense existing utilities running through the building. The raised platform was designed to lift the narrow walking space between the equipment modules and eliminate the tripping hazard created by the output points of the equipment. It hovers over all piping and access valves shown in the axon section using a robust system of steel channels and plates in conjunction with the raised f loor system (by ASM Modular Systems).

Cancer Gene / Cell Therapy research

analytical cell culture lab _project site - FOSTER CITY, california _ProJECT PRINCIPAL - aitor sanchez-prado, 267-441-9295, asanchez@ewingcole.com The AD Cell Culture/ Analytical Lab is part of a 64,000 sf renovation of an existing lab and off ice building. The goal of the design was to relocate the programs of two other facilities within this structure. An initial survey was conducted to analyze and report how much of the existing construction could be retained to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment. As these two facilities converged, it was critical to conduct an extensive survey and create an organized documentation system to log all equipment data, dimensions, utilities, current locations, and future locations. Over the course of 3 months, multiple live Revit sessions were conducted with each lab user to establish adjacencies, equipment requirements, necessary workf lows, and casework layouts. Each user received a room data package for sign off before we began construction documentation. Overall plans and equipment layouts are conf idential and could not be included.

analytical lab planning _project site - 11440 Johns Creek Pkwy, Johns Creek, GA 30097 _Project manager - aitor sanchez-prado, 267-441-9295, asanchez@ewingcole.com &

The unique challenge that this specif ic manufacturing facility poses is their need to continue their 24-hour, 360 day operation schedule. Each package that is designed for the facility must accommodate the maintenance of all on-site functions. When planning for a new suite or the relocation of a lab, it becomes critical to establish timelines, workf lows, and construction windows with the user. Due to the rapid growth of the facility, the analytical lab users needed to relocate to a new location within the facility’s east expansion to accommodate the expansion of the existing manufacturing suite. The Analytical Lab analyzes incoming raw product for quality control before it is used for product production. The challenges proposed due to this included space planning to ensure they were able to retain necessary lab counter space and frequent user meetings to organize and document all existing equipment.

Various live Revit sessions and user meetings allowed me to lay out the adjacencies that were required within the new layout. The next challenge was to coordinate their casework needs with what was available from Mott, the casework manufacturer and provide adequate schedules and annotation on plan and elevation. Inter-disciplinary coordinate is crucial in facilities such as this. Working closely with process, mechanical, and electrical engineers was a necessity as equipment utility and piping requirements were established.

septa transit center

the wissahickon canopy walk _project site - 1936 Arch Street, The Wissahickon Gateway, Philadelphia, PA _Professor - david kratzer, 215-951-0113, david.kratzer@jefferson.edu This dynamic transit center connects residents and commuters from surrounding communities to public recreational areas along the Schuylkill River such as the Canoe Club and other future residential and commercial development. It improves the transit conditions on the site by reducing congestion and organizing the different modes of transportion into different layers. The reduction of black top and introduction of permeable surfaces improve environment quality with sustainable landscape design techniques. The experience that the center provides will increase value of the site by providing more public amenities. This results in an activation of the area by the users which would encourage future residential and commercial development It will also improve the ecology of the rivers by preserving, protecting, and celebrating the waterfront by providing public community spaces with a wealth of views.
