ST. CROIX, US VIRGIN ISLANDS

This lab was funded as part of a Sustainable Laboratory competition challenging students to design a Net-Zero, Carbon Neutral Marine Biology lab serving the MREC institute on the island of St. Croix, in the US Virgin Islands. The lab provides “wet lab” space for processing marine tissues, as well as support services, student laboratories, offices, and computing labs.

SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES: EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF

A lightly seeded green roof helps mitigate solar heat gain, filters storm water for collection, and helps prevent excess stormwater runoff. The cooler temperatures can increase the efficiency of photovoltaics, while the plantings provide habitat for native species of birds and insects.

BRISE SOLEIL

Low energy glass allows the transmission of sunlight, but not heat. The system mimics a Double- Skin Facade, which cools passively by circulating warm air past the facade, pulling warm air from the interior.

OCCUPANCY SENSOR LIGHTING

Lighting that operates only when a space is occupied prevents overuse of electricity. Lights in day lit spaces can be set to auto-dim when the lighting levels are sufficient with daylight alone.

RADIANT FLOOR COOLING

Except for the laboratories, which have strict air quality and humidity constraints, the building is cooled using hydronic radiant-in-floor cooling, which is more energy efficient.

04 LEGACY CROSSING MASTER PLAN

CORNER OF SIXTH + JACKSON, MOSCOW, ID

This collaborative project developed a phased master plan for a crucial junction between the University and downtown known as Legacy crossing. Currently, the site is a brownfield; the site of an old rail station and grain elevators used for processing the area’s wheat and lentils. I was responsible for the design of the Legacy Circle apartments, in conjunction with rendering all the images shown, and rendering the site plan.

FIRST FLOOR 212 SOUTH 16TH STREET, BOISE ID

The station was designed using CMU as a prominent material for the Idaho Concrete Masonry Association annual design competition. It was one of 10 finalists out of almost 50 entries. The project mitigates many challenges, including the nearby freeway interchange sheltering a homeless population, requiring a careful interface between public and private to maintain the privacy of the resident firefighters while still promoting the Civic nature of a fire station.

CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT This project included a renovation and fit-out of two large student offices, a combined lab area for three researchers, and a central meeting pod. The architectural scope included adding a secondary entry door, and adding built-in storage cabinets and minor ceiling renovations to accommodate new equipment. I also specified and procured 13 additional chemical fume hoods and coordinated their arrival and installation. Further work included coordinating the installation of specialized lab equipment such as X-rays, glove boxes, and hazardous materials storage, as well as identifying the power and cooling requirements for existing equipment to be moved. I was responsible for the entire scope of the project from programming and schematic design through construction and final fit-out and move-in of the occupants.

I coordinated the project independently with all parties from clients and vendors to contractors. I coordinated the equipment specifications directly with the campus engineers to ensure the researchers HVAC and electrical needs were accommodated.

Extensive Green Roof

A lightly seeded green roof helps to mitigate solar heat gain, filters stormwater, and reduces excess stormwater runoff. The thicker roof profile also increases the insulation value, while cooler temperatures on the surface of green roofs increase the efficiency of solar panels.

Photovoltaic Array

Solar panels, or photovoltaics, generate and store electricity from the sun’s rays, which can be used to offset the fossil-fuels commonly used in any capacity in the building.

Brise Soleil

The perforated shading screen allows views in and out, but prevents the all-glass facade from over-collecting solar gain, as well as preventing the harsh glare common in daylit spaces.

Low-E Glazing

Low-Energy coatings on windows allow the transmission of visible light, while preventing large amounts of solar heat gain.

Double-Skin Facade

The intermediate space between the exterior and interior facades is heated by solar gain.

This warm air naturally travels upward via convection, moving air along the internal facade of the building and pulling warm air from the interior to the outside.

Screw- Pile Foundations

These self- excavating foundations require no concrete and can be completely removed with very little permanent impact to the land.

Storm + Greywater re-use

Storm-water runoff can be captured and treated on-site for use in non-potable applications such as building cooling and flushing toilets.

Grey water created on-site, such as that used to wash hands, can be processed on site through a constructed wetland, preventing the overburdening of municipal sewer system.
