RPI Athletic Village Master Plan Troy, New York
Program Two synthetic turf �elds, Two natural grass �elds 400 meter outdoor track, Tennis courts Fieldhouse with 200 meter track Varsity team / alumni building 2,500 seat arena Strength & conditioning center 7,500 seat stadium Initial phase of the East Campus Athletic Village encompasses a new stadium and home �eld planned for 7,500 seats, a basketball arena with a dedicated practice gymnasium, and a 10,000 square-foot sports training facility. Subsequent phases include improvements to Houston Field House, home of the Institute’s championship Division 1 Hockey team, a 50 meter pool, and a 60,000 square-foot indoor track and �eld facility. The buildings and �elds are organized around a major pedestrian piazza that will serve crowds on major game days and will become a social center on East Campus. Sasaki’s plan brings order and �ow to pedestrian movement through a series of east/west pedestrian spines across the sloping topography of East Campus. A series of terraces are created providing the �at areas necessary for sport facilities and �elds.

Four court gymnasium Three lane running track Competition level swimming pool and a leisure pool Fitness areas and multipurpose rooms Office for Health Services, Counseling and Recreations Administration This 110,000 sf project was conceived as an oasis off the main campus and in close proximity to student housing and a number of athletic �elds. Placed prominently on a ridge looking down over playing �elds, transparency through the building was emphasized as a way to connect the interior athletics program with exterior activity spaces. The building was sited to take advantage of day lighting spaces and to work as a hub for adjacent uses, becoming an anchor point for future development in this area.
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Brigham and Women’s Hospital Boston, MA
Planned to open in 2016, the Brigham Building for the Future will house eight floors of research laboratories, two floors of clinics, a vivarium, and a state of the art imaging facility, a conference and teaching center and a 400-car garage. The new building is integrated into the design of the existing campus and allows easy access into the existing circulation system on campus referred to as “the Pike.” It is also designed to maximize collaboration between disciplines, advance discovery, and provide the highest quality of care for patients. A typical lab floor separates the lab carrel spaces from the wet lab environment in order to increase the dry lab environment. This creates a dry zone that rings the wet lab areas. These collaboration zones connect with office suites that contain PI offices as well as support space. Open lab areas allow for flexibility and the ability to mix groups of researchers into the same wet and dry lab areas. The programming phase allows the team to create the best possible adjacencies with research groups that generate collaborative environments. Designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, the Building for the Future includes an innovative façade and massing that bring much-needed daylight into the building. The building will have both intensive and extensive green roofs, which are designed to reduce stormwater run-off while also providing occupants with a view of a peaceful oasis within the dense urban environment.

The landscape strategy for Alternative 02 is aimed at meeting the functional needs of GAB2, but also enhancing the experience of the surrounding campus. A secondary entrance and service access could be accommodated at the south side of the building (see page 10), while a new pedestrian plaza could be created to the north, along the Commencement Lawn. Envisioned as a more urban and active streetscape, the plaza space here would complement and build upon the function of the Commencement Lawn. Students, faculty and staff could eat, hold meetings, or gather between classes outdoors, while enjoying views across the lawn to the water. An amenity to the campus population, the energy and activity of the campus would be visible to visitors and every-day users alike.

BLUELINE HEADHOUSE City Hall Plaza Boston, MA
With CKA’s original involvement in the development / urban redesign of Boston’s city hall plaza namely the City Hall Plaza Arcade and new transit station entrances. CKA/NBBJ was asked to design a small egress head house for the MBTA’s Blueline which in concept and physical siting impacted the original Arcade and streetscape as designed by CKA. The Egress head house, while not an active entrance, is still a player in the overall sidewalk and streetscape of city hall plaza. Conceptually and physically filling a Gap in the original Arcade’s design. Adding to its functionality as an egress head house, the headhouse is wrapped on the plaza elevation with a urban bench and canopy shelter which echoed the materials of the original arcade construct though expressing these materials in a more contemporary way. On the Street elevation it was intended to be wrapped with billboard or informational signage.
ANATOMY
CAMPUS HUB Berkshire Community College Pittsfield, MA
CAMPUS LIVINGROOM Berkshire Community College, designed by noted midcentury architect Benjamin Thompson in 1969, sits on a dramatic 180-acre site surrounded by the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts.The project scope includes renovations to classrooms, labs, and faculty spaces within Melville and Hawthorne Halls, the main academic buildings on campus. NBBJ is charged with creating innovative learning environments together with an improved sense of warmth and welcome to transform these existing concrete buildings into comfortable and inspired learning environments. In addition to creating improved learning environments, creation of connecting corridors between the classrooms on the lower floors, and a new, central connector linking the two buildings on the upper floors. Another significant design driver is access to daylight throughout the buildings to capture views to the Berkshire landscape. These integrated themes of improved learning spaces, accessibility, and access to light and views, together with an interior design approach that enhances the existing gray structure, contribute to an improved sense of community on this commuter campus.

THE DISTRICT
The District: The future holds many unknowns and risks from a variety of climate-based hazards. But what will district life be like when the proverbial sun is out? A framework for flexibility, diversity and innovation is presently more achievable than planning for any specific metrics or standards of performance. By focusing on resiliency strategies that are multifaceted – that both delight and perform – we can ensure that stakeholders have an unmatched urban experience, even as they face the challenges of climate change. Global gateway cities will require resilient districts to remain competitive on the world stage and offer the lifestyle urban dwellers seek. The 100 Acre District must perform and captivate. RESILIENT LINKAGES proposes a strategy that embraces the fluctuations of the tide and mounting sea level by building a higher level “ground plane” through both public and private investment in a responsive infrastructure and creating an aqueous Central Park that doubles as a water management system. Planning policies that raise the resiliency requirements and incentivize responsible building and contributions to the public realm ensure successful development of a desirable and resilient urban district.
