CLIENT University of Rhode Island Office of Capital Projects PROJECT FEATURES Multi‐Purpose Athletic Facility Design Incorporated Master Plan Elements Completed Under a PLA 3‐Story / 200,000‐SF Facility Facility Seats 7,700 People Utility Relocation and Power Supply / Distribution Design: Parking lot / Access Road
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Maguire Group was Associate Architect and Engineering Manager for the design of the University of Rhode Island’s Thomas M. Ryan Center at the Kingston campus. The work was performed in association with an internationally recognized firm in the design of sports facilities, HOK Sport of Kansas City, Missouri. The Convocation Center is a 7,700‐seat multi‐purpose facility that replaced Keaney Gymnasium as the home of the URI Rams basketball program. The facility was designed to accommodate various venues and is located between the Tootell Aquatic Center and Meade Stadium. Luxury boxes within the Convocation Center, which are located on the 50‐yard line of Meade Stadium, serve both facilities. Maguire’s design efforts included site improvements associated with the new Convocation Center. Maguire prepared construction documents for the demolition of the existing field house that housed the football locker rooms. These facilities were relocated into the Convocation Center. Maguire also prepared utility relocation plans for the following utilities: water, electric, sewer, drainage, steam, and gas. Maguire Group prepared the environmental permits associated with this project and completed the design of the parking lots and access roads for the Convocation Center. The design was complicated by the various constraints imposed by the adjacent athletic facilities. Maguire attempted to minimize the impact to the adjacent soccer field and football practice fields, while still making the facility accessible to trucks; for example, trucks delivering equipment for shows at the Center or those present to broadcast the proceedings from within the Center. Maguire also was conscious of the Campus Master Plan and incorporated its design elements into the Convocation Center design to the extent possible, given budgetary constraints and scope limitations. The project received the 2004 Build Rhode Island Honor Award from the Associated General Contractors of Rhode Island

CLIENT University of Rhode Island PROJECT FEATURES Electrical System Study / Design New / Existing Residence Halls
PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2005, the University of Rhode Island announced plans for additional new student housing at the Kingston Campus. There plan called for two new apartment‐style buildings to the north and west of existing Heathman Hall, containing about 450 beds (North Dorms). These 5‐bedroom units were designed to have a common living room and full kitchen. A suite‐style building containing about 350 beds was built behind existing Browning Hall (South Dorm). Renovation work was also done on several existing residence halls. Maguire Group was commissioned to investigate, and subsequently design, 5‐kV feeders to provide electrical power to the three new student housing buildings. The initial study and subsequent design involved determining a viable solution to provide the required electrical power service connections to the buildings. The existing substation that would feed these buildings was near capacity, and long‐term capital improvements to the overall electrical distribution system were required. The purpose of the study was to provide an interim power solution until long‐term improvements could be funded and implemented. The project also involved providing additional substation equipment, an additional 5‐kV switch in the substation, and new 5‐kV distribution system equipment, underground ductbank, and feeders to the new student housing sites.

PROJECT FEATURES
Maguire Group played a key role in bringing this project to fruition as the primary architectural and engineering consultant on a design‐build team. The firm’s responsibilities included civil, geotechnical and traffic engineering, conceptual design for all six of the new campus buildings, plus architectural and engineering services for two of those six buildings.
Design‐Build Delivery Method Site Design 3‐story Classroom Building Student Center Facilities Management Building Administration Offices
The site design was extensive, with approximately one mile of new internal roadways and parking for 1,200 cars. Much of this new development bordered protected wetlands. Consequently, Maguire collaborated closely with local conservation officials in two jurisdictions to mitigate potential impacts and secure the necessary permits. The buildings included in the project are diverse and total more than 90,000 square feet. Among them are a 3‐story classroom building, a student center, a facilities management building, and administrative offices. All of these were designed in a neo‐Georgian style to echo traditional "Ivy League" college motifs and blend with surrounding structures. Modular construction was utilized on four of the buildings. This system allowed work to be done in a factory environment over the winter. Modules were shipped to the site by truck, complete with their brick exterior finishes, and assembled, typically in 2‐story configurations. Pitched roofs, dormers, porticos and articulations in both masonry and wood trim reinforce the New England campus idiom.

A&E SERVICES: RAINWATER HARVESTING PROJECT PROVIDENCE COLLEGE PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND
CLIENT Providence College PROJECT FEATURES Multi‐phased Rainwater Re‐Use Project Rainwater Will Cool/Heat Make‐up Water
PROJECT DESCRIPTION On behalf of long‐time client Providence College (PC), Maguire is presently working on PC’s Rainwater Harvesting Project, where up to ~500,000 gallons of rainwater/month will be reused in the boiler plant make‐up water systems after treatment. The rainwater harvesting project has been developing in phases. As work has been completed on adjacent buildings, Phase 1 was implemented, separating the stormwater lines serving the roof drains and diverting them to a dedicated roof drain collection system. Phase 1 involved connecting roof rainwater drains from the Concannon Fitness Center, Peterson Recreation Center, McVinney Hall, the Slavin Center, and the Power Plant roofs. Samples of the rainwater were collected and tested for purity. Phase 2 began in 2008, with the final design of two 100,000‐gallon concrete water storage tanks where the rainwater will be stored and treated for bacteria near Schneider Arena. The water will then be pumped to the Power Plant where it will be filtered, pressurized, and used as boiler water, cooling tower chilled water, and hot water make‐up. These systems were chosen because of their consistent year requirements for water make‐up. The school’s Grey Water Project is still under design. This project involves the collection of Raymond Hall roof rainwater for toilet flushing. The plan is to install an underground storage tank in the Raymond Hall parking lot to collect roof rainwater. Currently internal piping to individual water closets and roof drain work is complete. Tank installation is pending funding. Irrigation systems are also connected, but only as a secondary means, due to the inconsistent seasonal usage.

A&E SERVICES COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF RHODE ISLAND (CCRI) WARICK & PROVIDENCE, RI
CLIENT Community College of Rhode Island and Robinson Green Beretta (RGB) PROJECT FEATURES Mechanical Engineering for Closed‐Loop Geothermal System Structural, Geotechnical and Electrical Engineering for Classrooms, Labs and Administrative Spaces Two Campuses: Knight and Liston COST / COMPLETION Liston Addition/Renovation: $5.0 million Knight Addition/Renovation: $12.0 million Knight Geothermal System: $1.0 million
The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) consists of six campuses and is currently the largest community college in New England. Liston Campus – Providence, Rhode Island l Addition & Renovation At CCRI’s Liston Campus in Providence, Maguire Group provided structural engineering services in association with RGB’s design for a $5‐million addition and renovation project completed in 2004. This 26,000‐SF addition and 18,000‐SF renovation offers a dramatic entrance into the campus main classroom and science building. The project responds to the tremendous increase in student population and the demand for more and more modern classrooms, science labs, library resources and faculty office space. This project also redefined the building’s entrance through the addition of a dynamic glass curtain “wall.” The new canted glass entrance creates a dramatic gateway into the building and a strong visual access through to the main rotunda, the heart of the building and more importantly the heart of the campus. The building’s use of materials and scale provide a design solution that is contemporary yet fits harmoniously within the campus. Knight Campus – Warwick, Rhode Island | Addition & Renovation In association with the Providence architectural firm of Robinson Green Beretta (RGB), Maguire provided structural, geotechnical and electrical engineering services for a $12‐million addition/renovation to the Knight Campus. The project included three separate additions to various parts of the 1960’s, cast‐in‐place concrete building. These various additions, as well as the substantial renovation and new day care center, greatly increased academic, administrative and student service space that was greatly needed. The 6‐story main addition featured a 12” cast‐in‐place concrete floor slab to match existing architecture and provide critical head room in a building with low floor‐to‐floor heights.

Knight Campus – Warwick, Rhode Island | Geothermal System Also at the Knight Campus, Maguire provided mechanical engineering services for the installation of a geothermal system. In keeping with CCRI's long‐term commitment to protect the environment, CCRI embarked on a project to extract heat from the earth to reduce its consumption of electricity and the need to burn fossil fuels. One hundred wells were drilled to provide water to reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool the Knight Campus megastructure. The building has a hydronic heating and cooling system that includes two 400‐ ton centrifuged chillers and one 1,500‐KVA electric boiler. As the school evaluated its options to reduce energy usage, it was determined that bringing a gas line to the facility or installing fuel oil storage tanks was not feasible or desirable. The school’s utility provider, Narragansett Electric Company (now RI NGrid) offered to partially fund projects that reduce electric load, so CCRI investigated a closed‐loop ground‐coupled geothermal heat pump system. Maguire designed a half‐capacity system (200 tons) that was selected based on economic analysis and available electric utility incentives. The design integrated the geothermal system with the existing chillers, boiler, and DDC control system. Up to 800 gpm are circulated through the wellfield by a variable speed drive pump. This water is directed to either the secondary condensers for building heating or the chiller evaporators for building cooling. The existing hot/chilled water circulation pumps remained in service. Maguire also designed the control sequences that enable automatic flow switching during heating / cooling modes through CCRI’s Honeywell DDC control system. CCRI began planning for the conversion to a geothermal climate control system when the State Energy Office approached the college with a proposal to use federal funds to design a system for its particular needs. CCRI had the necessary land and an existing heating/cooling system that would easily adapt to a geothermal supplement. The school expects annual savings of $60,000‐ $70,000 from reduced electricity use.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The William D. Mullins Memorial Center, also known as the Mullins Center, is a 10,600‐seat multi‐purpose arena located on the campus of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The Mullins Center is the home of UMass Minutemen Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, and Men’s Ice Hockey. In addition, the venue hosts numerous concerts, family shows, theater shows, and commencements annually. Located adjacent to the Mullins Center is the Mullins Community Ice Rink which is open for public skating and raquetball. Maguire was selected by the University of Massachusetts Building Authority to design improvements to the new arena and ice rink facility. The improvements included the addition of a dehumidification system to the ice hockey practice rink, the installation of a fall protection system, and the re‐covering of the ductwork in the main arena. The humidification system in the ice hockey practice rink was required due to condensation problems. The system was designed in such a manner to minimize fan requirements and thus maintain as high an efficiency as possible. The fall protection system in the main arena was needed so that riggers can safely traverse the steel in the upper truss area to install lighting and other equipment required for the various events held at the arena. The re‐covering of the ductwork was conducted to provide for a cleaner appearance to the mechanical equipment.

A&E SERVICES : STEAM LINE REPLACEMENT UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS
CLIENT University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA PROJECT FEATURES Steam Line Replacement New Electrical Duct Bank Effluent Line Water & Sewer Modifications Drainage
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Maguire, in conjunction with the University of Massachusetts Facilities Planning Division, undertook the task of replacing a steam line system that cut right through the center of the over 1,400‐acre campus in Amherst. An existing cast‐in‐place concrete steam tunnel, built in the 1930s, carried steam and condensate piping beneath Campus Center Way in the heart of the UMass campus. Measuring 5 feet wide by 6 feet deep, the tunnel was approximately 4 feet below grade. Sections of the tunnel were in imminent danger of failing and were replaced with new concrete tunnel sections, while other tunnel sections required significant repairs. All of the existing piping was removed and replaced with larger‐diameter piping to increase the steam‐ carrying capacity. The tunnel extends a distance of 1,400 feet starting near the Campus Center Parking Garage entrance toward the Lincoln Campus Center Hotel and across North Pleasant Street, which is a major thoroughfare, to the East Experiment Station. From that point a new direct buried piping system was installed for another 1,000 feet through the Northeast Residential Housing Complex to extend steam supply for proposed new dormitories. Ancillary utilities included the installation of several hundred feet of electrical and telecommunication duct bank, convenience receptacles at manholes, and a 6”‐ diameter effluent drain line. Throughout the construction period, Maguire was successful in maintaining the primary design directives that were also in place during the steam line replacement project: keep the Campus Center Parking Garage accessible, maintain pedestrian and vehicular access, and be sure the steam was available throughout the heating season (September through May).
