TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Office Locations & Resident Expertise Unity Builders has been providing the United States with quality construction services since 1940, and Great Lakes area since 1972 when we opened our office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ever since then we have had a strong presence in the community and pride ourselves in the work we have done. Our Milwaukee office has become the premiere design-build contractor in the area. We are also close to one of our smaller satellite branches in Minneapolis, which gives us the ability to reach across the northern Midwest. With our regional office being located in Wisconsin it gives us the advantage of knowing the local markets and trades. This in turn becomes of great importance to the owner, adding both quality and value to the project. Being a nation-wide company allows us to have a single project bonding capacity that exceeds $800 million dollars. With large bonding capacity we are able to complete almost any size of project. With these resources it allows our regional offices to bring the personal touch of a hometown contractor to all of our clients.

TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Project Management Approach Here at Unity Builders we are known for our ability to add value to each project all while maintaining the needs of the owner and doing so in a timely fashion that is within budget. In our Design-Build approach, integration, collaboration and colocation aids in making our projects so successful.
Integration: With a integrated Design-Build team you receive a single source of delivery with no wasted time, money or quality falling between the liabilities gaps commonly found in traditional project procurement methods. The risk from the get go is on us as the Design-Build entity to deliver, and our passion and track-record for delivery has never been stronger.
Collaboration: Creating a collaborative and integrated team by co-locating the design team, construction team, and owner’s representative. Unity Builders begins by creating a collaborative environment and works towards a creating an integrated team with all involved with the project. Collaboration is working together, but integrating is blending together to become one team.
Co-location: Creates an open environment through every step of the project. Co-location doesn’t just end once everyone is in the same room. How you locate everyone in the room is important. Having full engagement creates a collaborative team. Having the owner’s representative in the same location allows for quick responses to questions and decisions. Colocating allows for value to be added through the designer and contractor working together.
Problem Solving: It starts with our team's trust and camaraderie. In order to fill the gaps between expectations and delivery we focus on team mindset. We assemble curious minds who value all forms of information and critiques. Our teams know how to keep their reactions in check and are able to focus on being responsive and adaptive to the situation by viewing problems from multiple perspectives. Trust and camaraderie strengthen the work environment and make it safer to question assumptions. Every team member is heard. Every perspective is valued. The focus is on the solution, not on the blame game. It can be difficult, and conflicts do occur when you have different experts and talents working around a single table so often, but it is absolutely necessary for design and construction collaboration. In previous days woman “A” would be assigned this task and man “B” would be given the other task, and both would go off and bring their solutions back. If those solutions did not fit together a conflict would arise and that conflict often leads to wasted time and adversarial tendencies. Our conflict is kept at a healthy level, up-front and center as early as possible as to spur on and inspire commitment and solutions.

TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Communication: Every project requires a unique approach for information flow amongst all participants. In order to ensure the success of the design-build procurement method an ownercentric teaming agreement needs to be accepted by all parties. In order to fast-track the schedule every project participant needs an on-demand, always-on line of communication that can be synced to multiple devices. That is why Unity Builders utilizes Thresholds cloud-based software to ensure rapid information retrieval. Information kiosks are set up on site so that the hands that put your building together have access to the most up to date information and documents available. And our project engineers and superintendent are fitted with phones and tablets that access this universal cloud system so that the information moves alongside them as they work on quality assurance and quality control. Our industry might be notorious for slow adoption of new technology, but Unity Builders refuses to play catch-up. We are on the front lines.
Ethics: We don't build for ourselves, we build for you. We willingly follow DBIA best practices and codes of behavior for Owners, the Public and our Industry. Following safety and professionalism is your new residence hall. The Beloit College Building Committee’s established requirements and rules as governed by the College drive our team selection, who then assures project success. We believe in our obligation to assist you in whatever we can during this process.
Our Design and Preconstruction Strategy In the design and preconstruction phases of construction, integration plays a major role especially in a Design-Build project. Incorporating all members of the team including, the contractor, designers, owner and key subcontractors is part of why design-build is so successful. Each member of the team brings a key aspect of knowledge to the project. The integration between all these key players helps to blend the whole team together and address errors early on. The advantage to this is to work out any potential errors so that the rest of the project can run more smoothly. Early in this design phase the owner is given a construction cost guarantee. Projects are constantly becoming more and more complex. The complexity of new projects require close coordination of design and construction knowledge. Having collaboration this early in the design process allows for a more complete design. A collaborative team has the advantage of combining this knowledge, which is most useful in the design phase. Decisions made early in design are less expensive compared to those made later once construction has started. Early in the design phase the idea of co-location will facility the team’s ability to combined knowledge and experience that can aid in the construction process. Having the owner colocated with the design-build team allows for design reviews and have their input immediately. Although the owner is not usually co-located at all times, they are given a space for when are presence throughout day to day activities. Co-locations allows for the rapid exchange of ideas between the lead designer, design consultants, contractors, and sub-contractors.
13
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Our Construction Strategy The collaboration between Unity Builders and our key sub-contractors is vital in the construction phase of this project. This is achieved in a few ways, primarily through the use of jobsite kiosks. The use of these kiosks with allow for any changes to the construction documents and other information be readily availability and up to date. Daily progress meetings and daily safety meetings will also allow for information to flow free throughout all personal on the job. Co-location is also very important in the construction phase of this project. With the use of collocated office trailers on site the In-House PE’s, PM’s and superintendent, Designer, Architect and Engineer, all key subs and an owner rep will be able to collaboration more freely. Information and knowledge will get around faster with everyone in one location. Through collaboration and co-location on this jobsite, integration is created. Information will be passed in a timely fashion, questions will be answered up front, and this will all create a stronger working environment for all.
Scope of Work Unity Builders and IDA are renowned for their work in higher education, having designed and constructed some of the best recreation centers in the area. With a full understanding of the scope of work for this project, the team in bringing on board a pool and field house specialist to ensure proper workmanship for those areas. Along with that, a green roof specialist will also be a part of this project incorporating sustainability with the green roof. Taking into consideration that Beloit College wants the design of this new activity and recreational center to fit in the current design of campus is something this teams strives to achieve. Another desire for this project is to integrate the river into the design by being able to see the river from within the building. Unity Builders along with IDA understands the importance of this desire to the owner and worked hard to get a design that worked for not only the function of the building but also be able to show off the river from with the structure. Attracting new students is a goal of Beloit College and, with the design IDA provided for this structure will definitely aid in this goal. The openness and functionality of this building will draw students and other users into this building with awe. Unity Builders and IDA have teamed up together for years, creating a trust based team that provides for its clients time and time again. Being local allows for great working relationship with local sub-contractors and labor. Our local office also allows us to create a new relationship with Beloit College, a relationship that will only continue to grow with time. IDA, having an on staff landscape architect, allows the project to be connected to the river through a wide variety of native plants that really tie the whole beauty of the building and surrounding area together.

TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Design Excellence Implementation Our Definition: Design Excellence here at Unity Builders means implementing the owner’s wants and needs all while maintaining innovation and vision to produce a high performance structure of remarkable design. While understanding that each owner has different values for their projects we take that into consideration when approaching each project. This method permits us to achieve each owner’s unique desires.
Our Approach: Our design excellence approach for Beloit College ensures that the owner’s needs are being met and that value is added to the project. Design Excellence doesn’t occur once the design begins, it starts at the conception of the project and flows through the predesign meetings with clients, and continues through all aspects of construction. We want to create a lasting relationship with all our clients. With this in mind we strive to bring excellence to every project we design. Unity Builders and IDA strive to maintain a level of purpose and function, quality, safety, sustainability, and a design that is historically and architecturally significant to the campus of University of Wisconsin Madison.
Purpose and Function: Delivering a design that meets the owner’s purpose and function is always the end goal for our design. Through design meeting, surveys, and campus tours we work with the owner to assure that what they want is implemented into the design. Any design no matter how beautiful if it doesn’t meet an owner’s needs, we consider it a failure. By getting to know the owner and their needs we can then begin developing a design that fits the needed purpose and function as well as the aesthetics of the surrounding campus. We believe all projects should function as the owner intended, and should not be limited because of flaws in the architect’s designs. There is a reason why the owner wants this project and we want to meet that need.
Quality: At IDA we pride ourselves in the quality of design. Our clients are making a life time investment by perusing a new project and we want to make sure their project lasts for generations. By having design meetings with the owner and contractor we are able to increase the quality that is delivered. By hiring consultants to aid us in design we can bring their knowledge on board into the design of your project. Once construction has begun we continue to monitor quality through the submittal process. This process allows us to assure that the contractor is using the correct materials and finishes. Once the project is complete with then move into punch lists and check to make sure the final product meets the standards that we set forth in the project documents. This quality process ensures that IDA continues to deliver the best projects in higher education.
Safety: Priorities can change and that is why safety in design is one of our core values. We value safety in every aspect of our structures. From the conception of the project we begin working
15
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION with our engineering, safety, and code consultants to ensure that our building meets and often exceed all coding requirements. We realize that building codes are a minimum and because of this we follow a stricter self-imposed code of quality. Safety for us also includes assuring that the materials we use are safe for occupants. This attention to detail allows us to create safe and lasting buildings for all our clients. Building on college campuses allows us to help shape the future, and with this ability comes the responsibility to ensure that they are safe.
Historically and Architecturally Significant to Campus: When designing a building IDA always takes into account the historical and architectural significance to the surrounding areas. If the site has a significant value in culture, heritage or architecture, it is reflected in the design of the building. Preserving the history and culture within an area is something that is important to IDA. Due to our site having a historic power plant on it, we want to design the recreation center to reflect the history that it brought to the community. The campus already has a distinctive architecture type that possesses high artistic values which has been fully incorporated into our further design of the building.
Sustainability: Sustainability is a growing trend in the built environment. For IDA sustainability has always been at the forefront of our minds. Through designing more sustainable structure we are able to ensure that the coming generations have a better place to live. When we design we look at all the aspects of the materials that will be used. We want to make sure that materials are located as closely to the project as possible. Shipping materials for great distances is just as detrimental to the environment as using non-sustainable materials. We also like to encourage all our designers to choose post-consumer recycled materials. When we aren’t using new materials we are able to mitigate the amount of material that is sent to landfills. By using natural lighting and ventilation we are able to cut down on energy costs, and also bring a more inviting building through natural lighting. Being in Wisconsin we have mild summers which allow much of our energy costs to be absorbed through the implementation of a green roof. This green roof not only makes a building more sustainable, but gives the students an area to enjoy the breathtaking views of campus.
Design Excellence for University of Minnesota Unity Builders partnered with Integrated Design Architects to deliver the University of Minnesota a project that would not only be functional but architecturally pleasing as well. When the University of Minnesota produced an RFQ to build their new Recreation and Wellness Center, Unity Builders and Integrated Design Architects excitedly decided to provide a creative solution to meet the University’s needs. The unique nature of the programmatic requirements led to our design partners, along with ourselves, to come up with a truly innovative space.
16
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION One of these unique challenges that faced our team was to create a space of 148,000 square feet that was LEED Gold certified. Our integrated team fully embraced this sustainability aspect of the program and together with the input of the owner we developed some truly innovative solutions to accomplish this goal. One of the methods we used to help reduce the buildings energy consumption was through the use of a highly efficient HVAC system. Another building component that was strategically designed into the space was highly efficient glass. Through the use of this glass was another important feature used to create a sustainable building. These sustainable components were designed into the build to create a space that was very friendly and inviting to its patrons as well as friendly to the environment.
Additional sustainable features included in the structure include the use of a green roof. Having a green roof allowed for reduced solar heat gain, thus reducing the load for the ventilation systems. Included on the roof were solar panels to help collect the natural energy of the sun to offset the buildings electrical costs.
Spatial limitations of the site also led to creative design choices of the Recreation and Wellness Center. As a result the structure was made up of five floors with the main exercise area located on the main floor. The use of a glass curtain wall system allowed for ample amounts of natural sunlight to bathe the space creating a very open, bright environment. This use of daylighting also helps to create an atmosphere which is very conducive to the buildings end use of a space to promote wellness. Another factor that Integrated Design Architects weighted heavily was the circulation throughout the Recreation and Wellness Center. The implementation of open circulation spaces lends itself to bring patrons in and around the facility.
At the end of the project the Unity Builders in partnership with Integrated Design Architects was able to deliver a project that was welcoming to faculty and students while preserving the culture and tradition of the campus.
Design Excellence for University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh Integrated Design Architects and Unity Builders partnered together to design and construct a Recreation center for the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh that not only would be functional but meet the owner’s needs and quality expectations. The Oshkosh Recreation center proved
17
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION to be a successful project based on all of the factors that went into the design. Using the design build approach we were able to collaborate with the owner and contractor from the very beginning, gaining input and real world experience into the project. We also were able to fast track the construction of the project moving up the completion date and allowing the construction company to use its resources in a very effective manner. The main factors that went into the design that the owner wanted to focus on was sustainability, the connection the river and using different materials and design techniques to make the building feel unimposing to the campus while still giving it an iconic symbol to the campus. Overall the owner was very happy with the design and the techniques that were used to create a quality project, under budget and under the completion time frame.
Sustainability drove many of the design ideas that were implemented into the design. Having such a strong sustainable design allowed for the building to be certified LEED silver, which is something that was very important to the owner. This includes a heat recovery wheel that captures the energy from air that has been exhausted from toilet rooms, locker rooms, janitor closets, and locker rooms. Daylight tracking sensors and photo cells control dimming fluorescent fixtures that allows the building to take advantage of natural day lighting.
Another factor that the designer wanted to be a key focal point in the design was the river and to make sure that it was incorporated into the design. Integrated Design Architects was able to provide this connection to the river by using large oversized windows that allowed people to have different views out to the river. Having the views out to the river made it to where it was not ideal for solar orientation. To overcome the solar orientation the design utilizes multiples styles of glass including glass for vision on the bottom and glass for reflectance at the top which can reduce the heating load in the summer. The large windows and open spaces also created a welcoming environment to the students and faculty.
The owner also wanted this project to be welcoming to everyone from all over campus and the surrounding areas. To do that we designed the building to have no backside and make it seem as each side that you entered the building from was the front. Over the main entrance the large triangulated overhang is extended to be welcoming students from across campus creating a welcoming environment to the occupants.
The materials and different shapes that are used throughout the building are intended to represent the activities and programs that are going on throughout the building. This includes the mullions at the jogging track have a pattern that symbolize the movements going on inside the building. This is prominent on the east façade that faces the campus because the owner did not want the building to overtake the valued and historic site but they also wanted the building to become an iconic feature for the school and connection from the campus to the river. The east façade uses many materials including natural stone, masonry, glass and copper
18
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION which allows it to be broken up into different programmatic sections without being over imposing. Design Concepts: A design concept that Unity Builders wanted to strongly emphasize throughout the design was the building’s relationship to the campus and surrounding areas. Understanding the culture and environment around the site are essential to designing a building that can be successful in the context it is placed in. This building is meant to symbolize the connection of three major aspects in relation to the college: the connection between the college and community, campus to river, and the cities past to the future while honoring the power plant that served the area for many years. Unity Builders wants to create that strong connection between the three phases, using the recreation center as the focal point of the connection of campus. Unity builders wanted to create a building that fits directly into the campus master plan and further enhances the site around it. We wanted to use the same materials that are seen around campus to become compatible with the neighboring buildings, while at the same time using creative and innovative techniques to create a building that can be seen as a landmark at the river’s edge. Being able to preserve the rich history and culture with in the campus while still trying to enhance and design for Beloit College’s vision of the future is a key concept to the success of the design. Having a campus with buildings that match and go together gives the students a feeling of unity and collaboration which is a main vision of the college. When Unity Builders looks at sustainability and design excellence we view them as going hand in hand. Beloit College is in support and promotes the use of sustainable design and being environmentally conscious in the designs towards new buildings. Whenever possible, designs should integrate sustainable measures native to the region, therefore improving environmental performance and strengthening the respect for the current culture. The overall benefits of sustainable design more than pay for themselves within the life cycle of the building not only in costs and maintenance but within the environment as well. Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, the health and comfort of building occupants, therefore improving the building’s performance. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments. Sustainability is designing for the present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Integrated Design Architects and Unity Builders take a passion with sustainable design and reducing the carbon footprint as much as possible to reduce the effects on the environment.

TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Construction in Design-Build Unity Builders design-build processes first hinge on the awareness of what being a design-build entity, or DB entity really means. Unity Builders forges a single contract with the Owner to both develop the design and construct the building. This places all the risk and all the reward contingent upon the success of a single company; no excuses. Integration plays a major role in achieving a project with the best value possible and it is the very keystone of our company.
Our Design-Build Approach Within Design: Unity Builders controls the details of the design, but these details are inspired and originate directly from The Beloit College Building committee RFQ and input, along with the college’s “Master Plan". The entire office is abounding with creativity, enthusiasm and excitement. Beloit College is encouraged to participate in design reviews for approval, this assures that cost remains the same while ensuring peak performance vs. having the design dictate cost and watching performance wax and wane with the swell of RFI's and change orders. Unity Builders warrants sufficiency of the design and ultimately the plans and specs. With your flexibility and trust we are capable of closely controlling and optimizing all aspects of the solution into a wellness and recreation center that not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them with a flourish. On Design: Our teaming with Integrated Design Architects provides us with some of the most talented architects and engineers in today’s market. They’re primary goal is to produce a set of construction documents that meets the owners needs and is ready for the contractor to build from. As a design-build firm we warrant the design documents and this allows the owner to mitigate their risk. Having these talented designers allows us to quickly contact them and get clarifications on the plans and specs. Estimates: Our staff has years of experience in the realm of estimating. We pride ourselves in our accurate, complete, and thorough estimates. Our estimators’ abilities to conceptualize a project and its materials are second to none. Having in-depth and accurate estimates allows us to give the owner accurate costs and that in turn makes for a better relationship. Knowing what materials a project needs also allows us to pinpoint long lead items. This allows us to properly schedule for their delivery and installation. Schedules: Unity Builders realizes that having a complete schedule allows us to save in costs and really plan for the high impact areas. Knowing this we can determine the critical path and whether we can crash any areas to complete the project ahead of the schedule. Because of the design-build delivery we are able to overlap items such as final design and substructures, which creates a faster project completion. Having a comprehensive schedule also makes it easy to inform the client where we are in the construction process and if we are on schedule. Constructability Review: Working with the architect through the stages of design allows us to perform constructability reviews. Our construction professionals can determine if what the
20
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION architect is designing can truly be constructed or if there are any clashes in the design. Having the whole team involved allows for a smooth transition into the building phase. Value Engineering Studies: Value engineering is often viewed as cutting costs and taking away from a project. We view it as a way to give the client the best value for their investment. At times it will involve cutting unneeded aspects of the projects, but other times it will be changing designs to better meet the needs of the owner. Some changes that are made may slightly increase the initial costs, but will save the client substantial money over the life of the building. Safety: We believe safety should be viewed as value instead of a priority. Priorities may change overtime but we will never change our values. We hold safety as our primary value and pass that onto our employees. We want to see our employees return home safely every night after work. We believe safety is not just a program but a process that takes time and constantly needs monitored. Design Quality Program: At certain percentages of design completion the Owner is brought into the meetings to verify and validate the design. For Beloit College’s Activity and recreation Center we have planned for DVMs at 20%, 35%, 50%, 80% and 90% of design development. Our Design Manager will direct and manage all design development, plan releases, specification releases and quality control during this phase. Our Milwaukee office has been adequately staffed for projects up to 90 million in budget. Reports on budget and schedule are planned for a monthly basis but current status listings, audit dates and document checking or review status will be maintained by your Design Manager. Target Value Analysis: At each phase we are monitoring every dollar utilized in the budget and evaluating whether or not that dollar was spent to benefit the best overall value of the project. Through the target value analysis process we find out which areas have more concern for the Owner and find a way to enhance those areas with clever cost saving solutions or designs. Virtual Design and Construction: VDC is our means of exploring the entire design and construction phases from the safest vantage point possible before construction actually begins with each bid package. It is a major preparation tool and it the effort expended to keep it up is well worth it when clashes are found BEFORE construction. With virtual design software we are able to serve your project better by addressing issues of efficiency, phasing and logistics while also supplying yet another vital channel of communication to our project participants. Construction: Construction is the heart and soul of Unity Builders because at end of the day we are builders of great projects. Our construction activities are focused around the schedule, budget and safety, all of which are highly pre-planned throughout the design and preconstruction phases of the project. Our self-preform labors as well as our subcontractors work hand in hand with our project management staff to put work in place we can all be proud of. Through this collaborative effort of working with our subs throughout the design and construction process we are best able to build a project that meets all of you needs and is ultimately done so to the highest standards.

TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Project Characteristics Successes Timeliness: Unity Builders understands the importance of being on time, on budget and of high quality for each project we work on. Union South is a prime example of our strong Design-Build contracting that met these criteria. This project started in planning in 2008 and began construction in 2009. The owner on this project had a tight, condensed timeline that they wished to see this project completed in. Utilizing the practice of Design-Build, our team was able to meet those needs with the ability to start construction before the design was complete. This allowed for us to meet the needs of the owner and give them a project that was completed in April of 2011. Budget was another major triumph on this Union South building. Unity Builders successfully helped to achieve the owner’s wants and needs while adding value to this project, all within budget. By taking the spaces that the owner wanted the most out of, we adjusted the budget to give more money towards areas that were most import to the owner, and took for the areas that were not as important to the owner. This by no means lowered the overall quality of the building but rather just gave more emphasis the important spaces within the structure. By staying within budget but still meet the owner’s needs we were able to use Design-Build to maximize the value to the owner. Utilizing the Design-Build delivery method for this project offered many other advantages to completion of the project within a tight schedule. Utilization of pull planning with our subcontractors was one of the ways we were able to meet the schedule of this project. Through this process we were able to receive valuable input form the key subs and create a fast track schedule that would meet the requirements of the owner.
Quality: Unity Builders was able to achieve the highest quality for the Union South building by collaboration with the entire Design-Build team. Incorporating the owner, designers, and key subcontractors throughout the entire design, preconstruction and construction phase of this project is what made for such a high quality building that met all the high expectations for this structure. Other ways in which quality was added to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Union South was through the very nature of being delivered via Design-Build. By utilizing the Design-Build delivery method our team at Unity Builders was able to add value through a highly collaborative environment. Through the best practice of co-location of our key project participants at the jobsite we were able to have constant, real time feedback of work scheduled to be put into place.
25
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control processes were yet another integral part to achieving the desired end quality. At every Unity Builders project there is a dedicated QA/QC engineer on staff. Our QA/QC engineer’s collaboration with the design team, owner and field crews allow for assurance that work is being put into place. Additionally with the designers on our team it allows us to design our quality assurance into the plans. This quality can then be controlled through our use of pre-punch list walks and third party inspection. These allow us to keep constant control of the work being done on the project. With these constant checks we are able to assure that the quality you desire is being met or exceeded.
Disruption Mitigation: The University of Wisconsin- Madison’s new Union South student union building was quite complex in its nature of being located on a very activity college campus. As with every project Unity Builders undertakes, the well-being and safety of the surrounding community is paramount to successful completion. With our vast experience in the construction of higher education facilities we are well versed in how to best deliver a project on an active college campus, while minimizing disruptions to the surrounding community. One of the first steps we undertook in the Union South facility was creating a comprehensive site logistics plan as well as a traffic study of the adjacent streets and pedestrian walkways. Unity strives to involve the community as a whole in coming up with creative solutions to mitigate campus disruptions. One such avenue we took at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was holding a series of community awareness forums where we invite the university planning board, students, and community members to join us in discussing what concerns may be had with respect to our upcoming project. These meetings give us great insight to what the community views as points of concern and from there we are able to work hand in hand with them to come up with creative solutions to help mitigate these concerns. Specific to the Union South facility we had several key areas of importance to the University including safety of students, facility and traffic disruptions. One of the creative solutions Unity and the university came up with was to schedule all of material deliveries to the site at nonpeak traffic times to help mitigate disruptions. Additionally as with every Unity Project we have traffic control flaggers and a wheel wash station to ensure all truck traffic leaving the site can do so safely and not bring any construction debris out on to public roads. On the critical issue of safety Unity Builders surrounded the site with an 8 foot security fence with controlled access gates and covered pedestrian walk ways to ensure that all passersby would be safe from any construction activity. Additional risk mitigation measures were taken in the form of safety meetings. Morning and weekly safety meetings are held to review changing jobsite conditions and increase awareness
26
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION among trades. The site specific safety plan will was updated and modified to ensure everyone on the jobsite remained safe and injury free throughout the duration of construction. In addition, weekly safety inspections and Monday morning safety meetings were completed. Along with these safety measures we held daily safety briefings for subcontractors who are working on high-risk activities. All new hires were orientated on the specific jobsite safety measures and protocol for reporting incidents or unsafe conditions. All new hires and visitors will report to the Unity jobsite trailer before they are allowed on site. In addition to our companywide safety program, every employee and subcontracted professional must present valid drug and alcohol screening cards prior to commencing work on the project. Through these collaborative activities with the community and University, Unity Builders was able to not only deliver a magnificent project, but do so with minimal disruption to the surrounding community.
Project Acceptability: Unity Builders strives for success on every project we undertake. At the University of Wisconsin- Madison we were able to use our vast experience in Design Build construction services to bring the University a project that they were proud to own. Through the utilization of Design Build best practices Unity Builders was able to foster a relationship between all of the project participants and create a project that was ultimately successful for all parties involved. Early involvement is one of the keys to any successful Design Build project. For the Union South project Unity Builders was involved immediately after the award of the RFP. From this early stage in the project we were able to become involved with the owners team as well as our key subcontractors. By having this input from the some of our specialty contractors we were able to have design goals meet schedule and budget. Additional ways we were able deliver a quality project to the University through the Design Build Best practice of collocation. Through colocation process Unity builders was able to work hand in hand with our key subs, owner and designers. Our best work is always done when all of our project participants are able to sit at the same table. Above all else Unity Builders is in the business of our clients. This means that we constantly strive to best meet our client’s wants, needs and desires. Through a highly collaborative relationship we are able to deliver a project that can be embraced and utilized to the fullest by our clients and end users.

IDA Turning ideas into Reality
INTEGRATED DESIGN ARCHITECTS
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Design Narrative Integrated design architects and Unity Builders are working diligently and collaboratively to bring the best possible design solution to Beloit College. The vision of this project is to create a place that not only students need to go for class or other activity but also a place the students can to experience.
One of the main goals of the project was to create a space that can bring people together and invite them to interact with each other in a welcoming environment. The college itself is a well diverse campus with students and faculty from all over the United States and the world so being able to bring them together will be a major factor in the project. We were able to reach the benefits of the design through extensive amounts of research and planning. The students and faculty were able to provide great feedback in what they wanted in a Wellness and Recreation center.
Based off those ideas and principles along with the vision of the school we were able to hit the ground running creating the entrance to the building. This entrance creates a connection that the school needed and wanted with the river incorporating it into a focal point on campus. The design of the entrance is successful due to the collaborative effort between Unity Builders, Integrated Design Architects and the owner. Having the design team and construction team working together on the design assures quality in the project to meet Beloit College’s standards and visions towards the campus master plan. Since the building is broken up into two major sections, one to the north and one to the south, circulation was going to be a major factor into the design of the entrance and the lobby. As you walk in the entrance you are approached by two sets of stairs, one leading to each wing of the building and then an elevator on the south end of the entrance. Every floor contains a skywalk that reaches from one wing to the other in the building creating an easy way to move around the building. Integrated design architects and the owner wanted to create a place that was inviting to everyone. The entrance also has a courtyard out front for people to gather and enjoy the outdoor space in front of the building. The courtyard on the riverside serves as an outdoor seating and patio area with a glass wall that can open up on nice days allowing fresh air to circulate through the building and creating an indoor outdoor experience in the bistro and lobby areas. Another design factor of the building is making everything accessible to everyone and ADA compliant.
As a team we also wanted to create a connection between the river and the college. This connection between the river and college is possible by having a large and open interior space that you can see through from side to side. Standing in the lobby and entrance area you also get the sense that you are standing at the river and get to experience the river from a comfortable environment. Throughout the levels of the building there are lobby and lounge spaces overlooking the river. The entrance and main lobby is an open space that connects all
33
TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION the programmatic functions of the building together allowing easy circulation and promoting collaboration and a comfortable requirement for anyone.
During the RFP stage Integrated Design Architects plans on incorporating many design benefits into the building that meets the student’s needs and desires. The classrooms will have large open spaces with partition walls that can be moved around to create different spaces or wide open spaces that allow integration between the classes and a higher learning environment. These classrooms will be designed to be flexible for any type of class that will be taught and enhanced with Data/Com systems. The main masses of the building to the north and south of the entrance will be used to represent and acknowledge the history of the site and power plant. The fitness center will have the latest technology in workout equipment from having computerized workout plans that students can log into and keep track of their workouts to optical and treadmill machines that can produce energy for the building helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the building. The field house will accommodate many sports and intramural leagues by being able to transform quickly from one sport to another. There will also be spectator seating to view many of the events including lobbies on the second and third floor overlooking the field house.
This building will be a minimum of LEED silver in an effort to further the push for sustainable design on Beloit’s campus. The sustainability of this project will serve as a benchmark for design not only on the campus but in the community of Beloit as well. IDA and Beloit University share the same passions about sustainable design, making it a prominent focus throughout the design. The college believes that the buildings and site have a substantial influence on learning and teaching which further enriches the value in the building as a learning experience in itself. The green roof that we plan on implementing in the project will serve as a rain water collection system that can be used in certain areas of the building to water the vegetation or flush the toilets.

TRUST │ QUALITY │ INNOVATION Schedule Narrative As an experienced Design-Builder, Unity Builders develops our design and construction schedules with a fully integrated team. During the design and preconstruction phase’s there will be extensive collaboration between many of the projects participants including design and construction disciplines, as well as key subcontractors, and yourself. Ourselves along with key Subcontractors will be reviewing Core/Shell, SD, DD, and CD packages all along the way looking for gaps, minimizing risks and looking for opportunities to fast-track activities. Allowing the design team to collaborate so closely and so early with the construction team allows us to best prepare for bid package approval, and when paired with our design validation meetings, we insure that our top-quality design is also adhering to Beloit Colleges standards and vision. We work thoroughly in the design phase to hit the ground running during construction.
In order to ensure design is conforming to your vision, we are constantly striving for design that meets all of your needs. From project award we are not just developing the design; but rather we are managing the design as well, allowing for schedules that are tailor made to your projects specific needs. This early involvement also lends itself to the iterative design processes that are crucial to the design-build process. Early Subcontractor involvement aids in preparing a design from a budget by getting realistic numbers and thought processes from scopes such as MEP, telecommunications, acoustics and in the case of your proposed activity and recreation center pool consultants sooner rather than later.
Through all of these activities we at Unity Builders are able to deliver quality projects that meet all of the design and construction goals. Ultimately this collaborative approach to scheduling your project results in the adding value to the end project.

With dedication, hard work and patience we have forged our leading-industry standing from 74 years of experience and excellence. We put our all into what we do. We care about what we create. We are actively seeking sophisticated clients to share our talents with. And nobody builds world-class construction with the vibrancy of Unity Builders. What's Unity Builders recipe for world-class projects? Collaboration: Our company was born from the collaboration between designer and builder. Respect and affinity for the strengths and artistry involved in both fields have since been instilled and nurtured from within. Our builders work alongside with our design partners to foster trust and communication in a truly integrated, open-door environment. Superior cooperation is achieved from all members of the team. Expression: Every project has a story and the story always begins with you. Our design partners are experts at listening, rendering and procuring your story into your project. Throughout the design process they are working alongside our builders whom analyze and predict bottlenecks, clashes and cost-creep. Our expertise in the Design-Build project delivery allows us to address holes in the design and mitigate potential risks early. Ultimately success is achieved when our design matches the wants of the Beloit College Building Committee and the needs of Beloit College students, and allow for the most accurate and well-planned budgeting for the project possible. Responsibility: We know that the risk in construction lies in more than just schedules and pocketbooks. The lives of our humans and other living species are also heavily involved. We place above all else the safety of life, but we are also community members who cherish the environment and as such we implement procedures to be good stewards of our land. We are experts who can back up what we say with what we have done. We are professionals who meet deadlines, stay on schedule, monitor our work and react without hesitation and with authority. We are honest. We are respectful. We are committed. Innovation: It is rather unique to our industry that so much of our ecological affairs are connected to the way we actually build our environments. Issues from our dwindling fresh water supply, to our rapidly growing population, from the cost of energy, to the very source of our energy can all be addressed within our built environment. Passion and understanding draws us into emerging technologies. Utilizing Building Information Modeling and state of the art tools such as information kiosks and tablets, we are able to open lines of communication and enhance the capabilities of all our project team members. And we are constantly updating our knowledge-driven systems to further enhance our quality of work and impact on the built environment. Sustainability: It's our responsibility. We weave it into every aspect of the building process. We practice it during every phase of construction. We live it within the company. Climate change is a reality and we are committed to minimizing Unity Builders footprint and resource consumption. We do it for our neighbors all over the world and for the following generations to come.
