Team Goals The team has decided to work with interaction interaction,, and there will be no special hierarchical distribution of influence. fluence. We will try to collaborate by using all our individual skills, and implementing them for the best interest of the final product. Our work is managed by setting down task expectations, where we came up with the project goal goals.. After that the work has ha been divided into specific activities which are presented in the document named “Activity list”, where the process is divided into more detailed phases that the team work should get trough in order to be able to successfully meet the project goals. Each phase is divided into smaller sublevels, interrelated trough tangible activities and assigned resources. In order to be able to meet time restrictions we have set a planning schedule with approximate time duration on certain activity and set down milestoness to be able to meet deadlines (See appendix ).This This will be managed in a team of the two Architects, the Constructing Architect and the Urban Planning Architect. The process will be carried out trough many different brainstorming sessions, done by listing expectations, needs and present situations. It is expected after this to be able to get out the optimal solution concerning satisfying stakeholders’ needs and const requirements, which would be justified trough creating a building that will be sustainable for future generations.

Team Vision The Vision for our final project result is to produce a sustainable project which will give Trans-discipline (exiting the world of one’s discipline and entering the world of the connecting discipline) as identification off the ”N ”New world” brought in Chalmers` construction and design departments. The buildings should represent the “Fuse” of research and development in common interest field. Sharing knowledge should speed up and improve the whole process for respected time scale.

Learning outcomes We feel that we have learned a lot from each other, coming from different studying fields and countries. We believe that our cultural diversities and background were enhancing the end results. By having brainstorming sessions, we’ve bee been n able to voice different opinions and discuss diverse solutions. Among the literature we found the Blythe and Worthington report the most useful one as it explained a lot about the process, but we also found the literature seminar interesting as we then also lso got thoughts from another group which created a lot of discussions about how to achieve successful end results.

Analysis of existing facilities

F IGURE 1

Green spaces/Parking • •

Green spaces [~3400 m2] Parking arking spaces [~9000 m2 /290]

There here are a lot of hard surfaces, parking and very little green usable areas for students. When asking students about this area, they say it’s the “back” of Chalmers, and don’t see any reason for going here at all. This side of Chalmers is what the visitors visitors/workerss at Teknikparken is faced with.

Requirements: Needs to create a good image for Chalmers. Perhaps by removing or relocating a car-parking, and there are good connections with the public transport systems. While removing hard surfaces, more green can be introduced, creating usable green space for students/tutors and business people. If some parking/ramps for logistics are needed perhaps it could be underground?

Exterior

There is not ot very attractive southern façade. It is also badly connected to outside space and Teknikparken.

This is the existing V-building building entrance. It is un-attractive attractive heavy canopy. Set back from the other façades, making it non visible when walking along the western façade.

The walk along the western façade is monotonou monotonous and uninspiring. There is repetitive epetitive parking and lack of green space. Few people chose to walk this route and no one stops here.

New Chalmers’ Interaction Building

-Urban Design Studio [114m2] The studio is a space with a couple of computers computers.. The students are unhappy with their current location. They feel isolated from the rest of the university and have little interaction with other students. The studio is non-inspiring inspiring and students prefer to work elsewhere.

Requirements: Inspiring studio space pace with computers and more iinteraction nteraction with others, possible relocation.

-Workshops [250m2] It consists of two kinds of workshops, metal and wood. It needs separation. It has lack of daylight, no view to the outside. Isolated; very little interac interaction with other areas.

Requirements: Wood workshop + Metal workshop. It is more closely linked with the architecture/engineering department. It can support possibly relocation.

-Laboratories [830m2] The staff/students are very happy with their ex existing isting facilities which were refurbished about 5 years ago. The location is quite isolated and there is lack of integration with other people.

Requirements: Will need the same types of spaces and the same area as they’ve currently got if relocated. Labs could uld be relocated to allow for more interaction with others and to help break up the long corridor space.

New Chalmers’ ers’ Interaction Building

-Graphics/Printing [1170m2 + lunchroom 55m2] It has been recently moved in to refurbished facilities, which used to be a testing hall for fo wet concrete. The circular extension was used for pumping water to the testing hall and is now a lunch room for the staff. The workers are happy with most of the spaces and the area but would like to have more outdoor green space and an open plan office, instead of the “cubicles” they have now; allowing for more interaction. Very hard to find, no one would know they exists unless one have a specific reason for going there.

Requirements: New office layout, more or less same areas as before and some outdoor outdo space.

-Common Study room 119m2 They have very little usage and are hard to find. It is a horrible study tudy environment with bad day lighting and no windows. Students do not really know they exist exist.

Requirements: Relocation, daylight, windows, interaction with other activities.

- Main circulation corridor [ 170 m2] The internal corridor has very limited connection to the spaces behind the closed doors along it.

No functions within it.

Requirements: One of the main problems with the whole building, cutti cutting ng off spaces from each other rather than connecting them. It desperately needs re-designing.

- Unused facilities [300 m2] + (Testing hall [ 1580m2]) The unused facilities were previously used for carpentry and offices, some water damage to the floors. (The large hall was used for dry concrete testing but does not have any use at the moment.)

- Entrance area/lounge [ 233m2] It is one of the nicest internal spaces within the building. Used by students to have lunch, or as a lounge area, but often empty. The entrance itself is not used that much, far away from the center of the campus.

Requirements: Relocation or just better interaction with other spaces. It could ould be connected with a new café or similar to attract people to use it. The entrancee could be made more visible from the center of the Campus, and the student union building.

- Post sorting [300m2] It is a space for sorting Chalmers post.

Existing Circulation/Structure/Shafts/WC’s

F IGURE 3

The existing structure has a column gr grid and some cores for vertical access as seen in figure 3.

3 Internal walls are mainly non-load load bearing, making it a very flexible layout, which can be changed quite easily. From a sustainable point of view it would be good to keep the existing structure and just change the internal walls. The façade could also be changed where necessary.

New Chalmers’ Interaction Building

SWOT Analysis V and Architecture building Chalmers / Teknikparken Strengths: The big atrium in the Architecture part of the building (not included in our site) The entrance of the V building has a nice but somewhat neglected atmosphere A lot of facilities within the Architecture building: library, workshops, café and plotters.

Weaknesses: No representative entry point point, with reception and information point.

Lack of good working places for students No natural meeting points Very few people go here unless they have to, empty atmosphere No natural light (only from roof) in parts of the building Long and boring corridors.

Teknikparken is not connected to the campus The building and areas around it are not representative Activities and facilities are hidden from view and therefore not visible. (underground café, hidden den plotters, workshop areas difficult to find) The public space around the south part of the bu building ilding and Teknikparken is of a bad quality (parking lots, logistical entries, backsides of buildings) Opportunities: More cooperation between civil engine engineering and architecture.

(Multidisciplinary, synergy, sharing of facilities) The big halls that are currently not used used, or used insufficiently can house new functions.

Start-up companies at Teknikparken can be integrated more with the rest of Chalmers The buildings are close to natural areas and sports facilities and could bring some of this into the campus.

Threats: Most of the buildings are not related to the rest of the Johanneberg campus.

The area around Teknikparken is badly connected connected.

Stakeholder Analysis The graphical/printing staff: Is the staff working in this part of Chalmers mostly administrative working View: (What do they think?) they will be affected by our proposals, their offices/printing facilities, lunchroom etc will be reloca relocated ted and the way of organizing will be changed from a former cubic working environment into an open space office. From what the workers told us they are happy with their present working environment, but would like open plan offices and more usable outdoor ggreen reen space so we expect them to be positive (4) Interventions: (What can they do?) they can explain the need of how this project will benefit them to the Chalmers University. Because of the positive feedback we have received from them we expect them we expect ect them to support our project (3) Action: (what we will do?) we will listen and fully cooperate with them in order to fulfill their expectations of this project.

The students studying at Chalmers: right now there are not so many in this part of Chalmers View: Our investigations show that the students are positive to make this area more alive.

The students need common study spaces, meeting spaces. They want more restaurants and cafés, eve, sport facilities, better daylight, cozy outdoor areas space lecture/conference ure/conference hall They will be positive to this project (+5) Interventions: they can affect this project a lot by show their interest in the project and make the whole organization aware of the need of this project (4) Action: we will integrate the stud students into the whole project.

The Companies: both the companies already renting spaces in Teknikparken, and the new ones which will end up in about 300 persons View: they will be positive because of the closer cooperation with the university and the students. studen They think this is an opportunity which wil will create a creative environment. They will get the possibility to have good and big conference rooms. (5) Inventions: they can support the project both with money and with ideas. (4) Actions: we will integrate them into the whole process so they will end up as very satisfied participants/stakeholder.

The Chalmers University: one of the biggest financiers for this project View: we postulate them to be very positive and think this project will make the whole university un more successful (5) Interventions: they can be negative and stop the whole project but on the other hand can they support the project very much (5) Actions: because of the importance of the C Chalmers University niversity we need to put lot of energy in showing ng the benefits out of this project C4 | Maria Andréasson, Irena Itova, Joris Berkhout, Nils Dahlberg, Aurelien Dupuis, Ziqing Han

New Chalmers’ Interaction Building

The tutors and lectures: the staff working with educating the students View: they might be a little bit negative to this project because it will force some of them to change offices, which can be painful for the conser conservativeness vativeness and resistance towards changes (3) Interventions: they can complain to the board of the Chalmers University and make it hard for the whole project to proceed in healthy way (4) Actions: try to keep them updated with what is happening and involve them into the project so they will feel like they can influence the project.

The neighbors: people living around the concerned area View: they can have some negative thoughts about what can happen to the area and get worried if they can get disturbed by annoying students (2) Interventions: they can complain to the board of the Chalmers University and to the board of the municipality. (5) Actions: let them updated to what happening in the project and listen to their ideas about how their situation can be improved.

Quantity and interest of end users Getting to analyze and know the end users, and exactly what Chalmers is doing in the facilities, will help us start and elaborate the project much easier and deliver quality end end-product, product, which will fully meet the he end users’ needs. Therefore research and analysis of the end users was undertaken.

History The V-building building is build between the year of 1960 and 1980. The architecture department was open in 1968.

Departments in Chalmers University and staff members Thee staff of the two departments consist of 350/250 members.

The board of the Chalmers University of Technology Foundation The board of the Chalmers University of Technology Foundation is the supreme decision decision-making making body and appoints the University board, decides ecides on discharge from liability and manages the foundation capital.

The University board The University board is responsible for the overall planning, co co-ordination ordination and follow-up follow of the University's activities. Under the University board, the President is responsible for operations generally.

Departments and research groups Teaching and research is carried out by Chalmers' 16 departments. The departments are led by a head of department, and are made up of research groups and divisions.

Centers At Chalmers mers there are six national competence centers financed by Vinnova and the Swedish Energy Agency. There are also a number of centers cooperating across traditional departmental boundaries.

Administration and Services Under Administration and Services are the following areas of activity: the IT Systems and Services, the Marketing and Development Office, the Office for Administration of Studies, the Office of Finance, the Office of Planning, the Office of Student Services, the Personnel Department, the Publicc Relations and Communications, the Service Department and the Strategic Analysis and Specialist Support.

The Chalmers Group Included in the Chalmers group are: Chalmers tekniska högskola AB with its subsidiary companies Chalmersfastigheter AB, Chalmers Ad Advanced vanced Management Programs AB (CHAMPS) and AB Chalmersinvest.

Science parks and incubators There are two science parks at Chalmers – one adjoining the Johanneberg Campus and the other the Lindholmen Campus.

The science parks combine companies’ knowhow and innovative drive with academic expertise.

In the creative environment of the science park your company is always close to expert knowledge – a rapid way of becoming more competitive.

A characteristic of Chalmers science park environments is that they offe offerr more than mere accommodation. They offer their companies close proximity to a high high-tech tech intellectual environment with research on the technical front and with up up-to-date date engineering expertise that can be recruited. They also offer qualified Chalmers orga organizations nizations which can make an active contribution to technological and business development and have an overall view of Chalmers’ whole range of skills and resources. Chalmers’ two science parks therefore constitute suitable environments for the development of new technology, innovations and business concepts, both for greater competitiveness in existing areas of business and for new business ideas.

Incubators In both science parks Chalmers Innovation runs incubator functions. There are incubator programs at the Stena Center (Chalmers Science Park) and the Lindholmen Center (Lindholmen Science Park). The incubator is a tailor tailor-made made environment where young companies with ideas can grow strong. The incubator setting is adapted to growth enterprises rather than established es companies.

Chalmers innovation Chalmers Innovation offers services which shorten the time to market for newly started, sciencescience based companies. Chalmers Innovation will help you with capital, knowledge and offices.

Chalmers Innovation is present at the Stena Center and at the Lindholmen Center.

Chalmers Industrial Technology (Chalmers Industriteknik, CIT) Chalmers Industrial Technology gives you access to the scientific and technical resources of Chalmers University of Technology.

Chalmers has started arted Chalmers Industrial Technology as a foundation intended to promote more efficient use of research in commercial development initiatives. This is a self self-financing financing entity which has been working for 20 years to make Chalmers’ full range of skills and other ot research resources available as a basis for commercial ventures on behalf of Swedish and foreign clients.

For areas of activity where there is a permanent market base, the foundation forms dedicated companies to make more effective use of the knowledge obtained.

Chalmers Industrial Technology is also active in the “general planning” of science parks in Gothenburg and in the management and development of Chalmers Science Park. This is consistent with Chalmers’ efforts to promote and make more efficient ccommercial ommercial use of new scientific research and skills.

Description of proposal The main purpose of our proposal is to show that Chalmers can be a role model for the whole building industry. Chalmers should be seen as a precedent in the progress of building for the future in a more sustainable way. It should also be a university well known for its creative and inspiring learning environment.

Vision of the Project Proposal We have listed the most important ideas the project will focus on iin n order to satisfy the most important stakeholders’ demands. We have made a stakeholder analysis which has raised our awareness about what issues we will need to emphasize, in order to deliver the best and most successful proposal. Our main proposal goals are: • • • • • • • •

Sustainable development Integrating academia with industrial and commercial life Highlight the field of research and its quality, through this cooperation Create new meeting places Enlarge the Chalmers area Support research Integrating architecture students and engineering students Create a creative and transparent learning/working environment

Today, the existing area looks aes aesthetically unappealing, boring and dated from both the outside and the inside. Our project is focusing on the ground floor in the existing building and the area towards Teknikparken. From the Analysis of the existing facilities which can be seen on page 8 we’ve decided what functions needs to stay, and what new ones would need to be added to achieve the goals. In order to meet the most important stakeholders’ demands, an explanation of our vision of the project and over all idea, spatial structure, and what materials we will use and why, are presented throughout the following sections.

The existing building serves as separatin separating g element among the students of the two different departments, which are not so much different. The aim is to create innovative and interactive environment for around 1500 to 1600 students from the department of architecture and civil engineering. The buildings dings should represent the “Fuse” of research and development in common interest field. Sharing knowledge should speed up and improve the whole process for respected time scale. Trans-discipline (exiting the world of one’s discipline and entering the world of the connecting discipline) would be the new identification of the new world brought in Chalmers` construction and design departments.

The future of the construction industry is seen in the improving collaboration among the designers and constructors, to be able to be managed reduced costs and maximized input efforts.

New Chalmers’ Interaction Building

Another effort of Chalmers is to get the connection between the scholar environment, the business world and the rest of the society. The reconstruction of the building is seen to give possibility sibility for meeting place for students and business people from the real world. It is imagined to create the ability of hosting over 300 employees belonging to different companies. The attracting point that would be pointed out to the business world is th thee offer to be involved directly in the process of fast and innovative prosperity in the building industry. The ability to meet students on a daily basis as well as yang and enthusiastic PhD students should be tempting fact that would attract small and larg largee companies which are hungry for progress, to join the process of fast change. The vision is to create one desirable environment, which will invocate creativity, innovation and common feeling of belongings and relaxation.

The Concept In order to create a stimulating ulating environment with sufficient space for engineers and architects, which will enhance the integration between business life and academia, we have come up with a redefinition of the space in the existing building and also planned for an additional new building.

See figure 4.

F IGURE 4

The red circle is the new building, and the green circle is the green area which will contribute to a nicer environment which in the end will be beneficial to all the people passing by this area. The new building and the green area wi will be located on the old parking lot, in order to avoid decreasing the number of parking lots we have found that placing them underground will be the best solution.

To have a natural connection to the business life life, in this case Teknikparken, ken, we have decided to link the new building with Teknikparken and the V V-building. The green n dotted line is the new vein through the new area, which will be built like an avenue with a new more transparent ground floor facing it. The winding red line is the inside corridor which will be broken up and made wider. The inside corridor / avenue will work as a continuation of the V and A –building which will create a feeling of larger ger Chalmers.

The spatial structure The project Samhällsbyggnadsnod has stated the following needs: -A well defined node, an entrance--point -Space Space for exhibitions and for meetings -Showroom room for companies in the construction construction-sector -Library -Space for Student-unions -Space for eating your lunches -Space for a café -Space for students work, also in smaller teams

We’ve also chosen to add functions like a sports sports-hall (located in a currently unused large hall), creative studio for architects/engineers/companies, and to make sure important existing functions can remain or be relocated cated within our area. We also propose outdoor terraces and green areas instead of car parking around the buildings to eliminate the feeling of this being the “back” of Chalmers and instead feel like a well defined entry point.

F IGURE 5

Figure 5 shows the concept of the flow of activities. The project biggest effort and idea is oriented around the interaction of the engineers and architects on one hand, and the students in general and the business world orld on the other hand. Therefore Chalmers is striving to bring building and architect companies within the campus area which will support this Vision. In this way, it is proposed to be build new building extension for accommodating the companies, which will ll also allow space for PhD researches. In this way the young researches will be directly involved and in contact with the companies, which will help in their recruitment recruitment.. As for the companies, it will bring a lot of fast access to new research results in the field of construction.

Figure 6 shows our emphasis on the implementation of the overall idea into the existing building.

The space limitation and the load bearing structure of the existing construction are allowing free conceptualization of the interaction action idea, and the vision of taking down space boundaries.

Furthermore, the fact that 70% of the existing building is ground level only, gives liberty in using day light supplies trough sky lights lights.. By taking down existing separating wall and building glass gla partitions, it will be allowed effect of light illumination trough the entire ground floor, and supply of indirect daylight sources, for areas which are not located near facade windows.

cept of connection of the rooms and the possible concept of a rooms Figure 7 shows the concept schedule which will allow uninterrupted flow of traffic inside the building. The expansion of the walking corridor and the open connection to a coffee area and the entrance lounge eliminates the long and boring communication and creates dynamic and exciting walk and diversity. The arrangement of the rooms gives opportunity of int interaction eraction of student and company people spaces. In this concept is show how the conference hall which is going to be used by companies, will be in the same time rearranged into space for students to meet, study and arrange parties and festivals.

Within the building the new and refurbished corridor will be the connecting node. It is wider than before and can be used sed to sit and relax, drink a coffee or for exhibitions and activities. All functions in the entire V and Architecture building are connected to the node. See Figure 8.

F IGURE 8

The outside green avenue will work like vain of the whole Chalmers, because of the way it looks and where it leads. There will be possibilities to enter the building from the outdoor avenue through the cafeterias along the way to the new area, this because it will stimulate the students to buy coffee and snacks and hang around wit with h each other which also will stimulate them in the end. See Figure 9 (Also Also see Appendix) Appendix).

-

From the university main entrance All students or teachers who come from the university, the student union building, the tram and bus stop, top, etc. This path is only a pedestrian path and is not accessible for cars.

Infrastructure: Wide passage surrounded by trees Easy tracking Broad enough to absorb the load, even during peak periods Emphasis is placed on the green for this path. It mus mustt be attractive with many trees and bushes. It’s the most important route for arriving to the V V-building, building, proposed new building and Teknikparken. (See figure 10.)

From the Teknikparken Few people come from this way, especially during the middle of the day. da People who arrive here mainly come from the student dormitory behind the forest. They use this path in the morning when they arrive or at evening when they go out. The infrastructure is a wide path which can easily absorb the load. (See figure 10.)

From om the parking and the road at the south of the university This road is just near the terrace of the restaurant and people can enter directly to the restaurant and the new building via a ramp. This access route will be improved by creating new green spaces spaces.. This road is also the access point for the new underground parking and for logistics going down to the basement serving both the existing and new building. (See figure 10) - From behind the university and the glass corridor from the architecture building Most students enter the Vbuilding through the glass corridor from the Abuilding, very few walk outside.

See Figure 10.

Entrances The existing entrances of the V V-building are kept- but refined, and the new building has new ew entrance area which will be the main one for business people to use and also the entrance to the restaurant. See Figure 11.

Horizontal movement The corridor is still a link through the existing building but is broken up and transparent as to increase visibility isibility of functions and informal meeting points between studentsstudents students, teacher- student, business people – students. The internal layout is also more open and user friendly. The new building is kept open plan as much as possible to allow for flexibility lity and avoiding dead corridor space. See Figure 111.

Vertical movement In the existing building the vertical access points are kept, and some new ones introduced to be able to access the gallery. In the new building the upper floors and the lower floors are re easily accessible from the staircases/lifts on the ground floor. See Figure 11.

Materials used This new area of Chalmers will promote Chalmers as a role model for the building industry, focusing on innovative thinking and sustainable development. One ooff the facades facing south on the existing building will be built as a solar chimney made of glass. The solar chimney will heat up the building during the winter and cold it down in the summer. The new building will have a concrete structure with generally glazed facades, and will ill mostly be heated by heat pumps, and complemented by radiators. In order to be a role model for the whole building industry, all materials that will be used will have to be approved by the Swedish regulations and will fulfill the regulations, statuess and laws set. To achieve this, more focus will be placed on the quality aspect rather than the price.

The existing building will bee more transparent, in the spirit of an open landscape, with spaces interacting without border.. To achie achieve this, existing partition walls must be demolished and for those that shall be kept, they will be made from different types of glazing, to allow more light illumination/transparency /transparency of functions functions. There is a lack of lightt in the existing building, building so more windows will be installed, which won’t cause any problems since the facades don’t n’t bear most of the load from the building.

The solar chimney 1in the glass south façade will provide natural ventilation in summer and warm air supply in winter.

Figure 12 shows the basic principle of a system stem that can cool down the building in summer.

New Chalmers’ Interaction Building

Sustainability plan This new area of the Chalmers University will enhance the connection between Chalmers and sustainability. This new area will be built in a modern way, and using the newest and best technologies in order to make the Chalmers concept to a role model for the whole building industry.

Energy consumption In order to decrease the energy consumption we will use a solar ch chimney imney to heat during the winter and to ventilate and cooling the building during the summer. There will be lots of new companies and students working with their computers inside these buildings, which will increase the demand of effective and sustainable ccooling ooling devices. The solar chimney will be built in a way that it can cool when it is to hot and heat when it is to cold.

To support this solar chimney we will install heating pumps and radiators which can support the solar chimney during extreme condition conditions.

The fact that we will open up the area more, will make us able of taking more care of the daylight which will make us more alive and minimize the need of lighting devices.

Flexibility The demands of today might not be the demands of tomorrow. In orde orderr to make the building easy to rearrange we will emphasize on a solid foundation. The building will be built and designed for open landscape offices which will make it easier to rearrange. It will contain skeleton system of load bearing structure, consistedd of columns and beams as main load bearing subjects. All internal walls will only satisfy the demands of light partition walls.

Materials The materials and goods we will use to construct the whole new area will be built in only ecoeco labeled materials. To the most extent we will use more and better materials than the regulations say, and this to strengthen engthen Chalmers as a brand of new thinking and sustainability.

Green areas To enhance the sustainability approach we will decrease tthe he number of parking lots above a ground and increase the green areas areas, compared ared to today’s situation. We hope that it will also encourage people to use the public transportation network or bicycle. We are planning plann to facilitate at least the same amount of parking places in a new underground parking ng garage, situated under the new ew building and the adjoining area next to it considering there will be a lot more space for companies in the new building.

Future expansion The he New building is designed in a way that connects the two separate buildings ngs of the VV department and Chalmers’Teknikpark Chalmers’Teknikparken, with a bridge to break boundaries. If the demands for the building’s user’s increase in number of participants and an extension of areas are needed, the C4 | Maria Andréasson, Irena Itova, Joris Berkhout, N Nils ils Dahlberg, Aurelien Dupuis, Ziqing Han

new structure delivers the possibility for future enlargement of the size required for the facilities by growing southwards, perhaps with another bridge link.

Students’ enrolment • A commitment to adopt sound practices and practices and use sensible technologies that will enable us to reduce our environme environmental footprint.

• A commitment by each and every member of Chalmers’ Johanneberg campus to consume less. This commitment extends to consuming less energy and reducing unnecessary consumption of paper, plastic, etc.

• A commitment to provide each and every stu student dent with an educational program that includes an appreciation of environmental sustainability issues.

This commitment should extend to creating or enhancing programs to help students who wish to have careers in environmental sustainability. st estimation and Pay back on investment Building cost The calculations presented in Figure 113 are the target building cost and expected return on investment that the Client demands. Price modification in small variations may occur during the detailed stages of the project, ect, and shall only be accepted with common agreement together with the Client.

Accessibility Plan We aim to design a new building and also redesign the existing building/external areas to be accessible for all and comply with BBR regarding accessibility whic which h is related to the 2§ (1994:847) BVL and 12§ (1994:1215) BVF. We will also set up goals which might create a better standard than these minimum regulations at the beginning of the process and ensure that this is part of the whole design process and not co considered nsidered as an afterthought. We plan to check and verify that the facilities meet the standards set by appointing an external controller who will certify that the design complies with the regulations and goals set up. By having regular checks on different stages in the project it reduces the risks of goals/regulations being neglected or negotiated.

Physical accessibility Disabled users, should have easy access to all facilities, with for example lifts and ramps as required, no thresholds etc.. Materials li like flooring should help p people with impaired vision in self orientation and this should not be considered as an afterthought, but rather be part of the design process to create a successful design. While constructing the new building and refurbishing the existing xisting facilities, substances which could cause allergy reactions should be avoided.

Communicative accessibility The facilities should have good acoustics, lighting and have technical solutions for people with hearing aid. Because of the large “hall” in the new proposal, we had a potential noise problem, but by placing volumes within this space, the sound will become less of a distu disturbance. rbance. Acoustic sculptural panels will also help to create a good sound environment. Movable partitions with good sound properties operties will be used in flexible spaces, allowing for flexibility without compromising the sound quality.

Informative accessibility The main new entrance will be very much visible and also have a reception area. Orientation will be made easier by creatingg transparent spaces, and having an internal street which link the spaces together, reducing the need for signs and creating an open environment where it’s easy to know where to go. Where signs are needed they should be clear, and also be available in Braille Brai and a sound version.
