SITE LOCATION
PRESENT DAY • The site is an open field and it is being overtaken by native plants • Post-industrial site with one remaining building from IS&W • Wanted to preserve the open experience of the site • Chose to delicately place a one-story building among a continuation of the naturally occurring vegetation • It also needed to have a program to bring people to the building • This meant adding a cafe and interactive space gallery
MASTER PLAN - SITE DESIGN • Encompasses the whole Kitselman Pure Energy Park site • Proposed variety of building typologies that will boost the

MASTER PLAN - PUBLIC VS PRIVATE • The building typologies will dictate which areas of the site will be accessible • Incorporates green spaces to tie into the existing greenways adjacent to the site • The green circles indicate these paths and buildings that are for public use • Blue marks semi-private locations • Red notates new housing to tie into the existing neighborhood as well as a new solar farm *In collaboration with Jake and Sarah
MASTER PLAN - ZONING • Multiple buildings spread across the entire site • The green corridor will serve as an artery through the site • Students, faculty, and visitors can ride their bikes or drive their cars to the building • The parking lot to the north is ideal because the main entrance is on the north facade of the building
*In collaboration with Jake and Sarah
MASTER PLAN - CIRCULATION
*In collaboration with Jake and Sarah
EARLY CONCEPTS • Experimentation with a radial arrangement • Radial form allows for focal emphasis on one element with supplemental adjacent components • Multiple entrances directly leading to different program clusters • Outlined which elements might need two story spaces • Determined that a double-height space would be necessary for natural daylight
FORM DEVELOPMENT • Strong connections or weak connections between program elements • Orthogonal forms represent a foundation of knowledge from which our research and understanding can grow • Curvature form celebrates new ideas, groundbreaking research, and innovative materials • The concept of hierarchy was used both in the physical forms and with program organization
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT very important

GENERATION CENTER
FLOOR PLAN • Main horizontal spine that includes classrooms and the cafe • Three arms that include clustered programming • Southeast arm is for simulation labs, science labs, and faculty offices • Central arm is for the library and building spaces • West arm is for the lecture hall and loading dock
MAIN ENTRANCE • The main entrance occurs at the peak of the undulating roof • It stands out with a large doublebay overhang and a two-story high curtainwall facade • The timberframe structure over the entrance makes a welcoming plaza space
INDOOR/OUTDOOR CAFE • This East entrance is secondary in terms of its location but it still opens up into the gallery space • The undulating roof form leads the eye towards the smaller entrance • Welcoming public space for the surrounding neighborhood residents and the students and faculty of the center
SECONDARY ENTRANCE • The sawtooth roof is visible in this view • The form of this roof allows light to flood the southeast wing corridor which connects the entrance to the faculty offices and science labs • The landscaping and vegetation emphasizes circulation
OUTDOOR PATHS • Top Left - Undulating roof covering the Cafe • Top Right - Sawtooth roof over the faculty offices • Bottom Left - Windows looking into the classrooms (looking East) • Bottom Right - Classrooms and Lecture Hall volume (looking West)

SPACE EXPLORATION GALLERY • Guests entering either entrance will immediately enter a large gallery space with objects and milestones of space exploration and research • Exposed structural timberframe defines the spaces and allows for a lot of daylight • The undulation of the roof continues on the inside as well as the outside
SAWTOOTH CORRIDOR • Exposed structural system • Exposed HVAC ductwork • Entrance to the science and chemistry labs • Sawtooth roof allows for a series of skylight openings to light the interior corridor
CLERESTORY CORRIDOR • Exposed structural system • Exposed HVAC ductwork • Wide corridor and high ceiling allows for light to fill the hallway • Windows look into the library to the right • Further down the hall are the studio spaces and workspaces for students
INDOOR/OUTDOOR WORKSPACE • This is one of the large student workspaces • This double-height space also connects the inside and outside • The large doors allow students to work on large projects outside so they have more room to maneuver large components • Model rockets and airplanes would be common projects for students to study and build
ACTIVE SYSTEM - VAV REHEAT SYSTEM • Very versatile in nature • Allows for each zone to have a relatively high amount of control Key Components: Boiler and Chimney VAV Zones Supply Ducts Return Ducts

Cost = (41,500 sf) x ($315) x (0.89) x (0.99) = $11,518,180
Cost = (41,500 sf) x ($227) x (0.89) x (1.09) = $9,138,827
$11,518,180 x .07 (7% Architect Fee) = $806,272
$9,138,827 x .07 (7% Architect Fee) = $639,718
$11,518,180 + $806,702 = $12,324,882
$9,138,827 + $639,718 = $9,778,545
