EDCC // WARREN HALLS REBRANDING FEASIBILITY STUDY

balance

a balanced

experience The motto of Warren College, “Toward a Life in Balance,” reflects Justice Earl Warren’s philosophy of cultivating ethically responsible student scholars. But the idea of balance is even more relevant today, as students are focused not only on their academic loads, but also on their daily social interactions and, for many students, adjusting to life very far away from home. In our exploration of the rebranding of the Warren College residence halls, we looked at the various pairings- both physical and intangible- that form the language of this project. Whether it’s the interface of nature vs. man-made structures or the delicate balance between curiousity and the familiar, our goal is to create a space that fosters growth and provides every student at Warren with a truly “balanced” living experience.

Day to day, and even hour to hour, the residents of the Halls experience several different senses of scale. The goal of Balance in this instance is to find the consistent threads throughout the project, moving from large public space, through shared zones and into the quiet (relative) solitude of the residential suites.

SCALE SHARED “FLEXIBLE”

BALANCE As the main generator for the narrative of this project, finding the Balance throughout the overall site and individual spaces is key. This means bringing several “tools” to bear, including harnessing the legacy of the Halls’ namesakes, acknowledging the varying scales and the using placemaking fundamentals to bring it all together.

When a building or buildings on the UC San Diego campus is named, there is thought and reason that goes into that process. However, somewhere along the way, a disconnect emerges between the original intent and what the everyday users actually know about why the building is special. The Legacy of Earl Warren and the other Justices deserves to be brought back into the space and experience.

• PROGRESS • EQUALITY • COURAGE “Warren was affectionately known by many as the “Superchief”... His strength lay in his public gravitas, his leadership skills and in his firm belief that the Constitution guaranteed natural rights and that the Court had a unique role in protecting those rights.” The Warren College motto, Toward a Life in Balance, is inspired by the philosophy of our namesake, former Chief Justice Earl Warren. The College is dedicated to cultivating ethically responsible citizen scholars who will flourish during their careers at UC San Diego and beyond.

Warren Residence Halls Rebranding Feasibility Study Balance. Curiosity. Experience.

Freshman Residence Halls Harlan, Stewart and Frankfurter are significant buildings within Warren College that serve several diverse functions, including residential, dining and student uses. To create the optimal social and residential environment for students, it is helpful to maintain a consistent architectural language throughout the buildings. This Rebranding Feasibility Study serves to maintain clear direction in the design of the renovated portions of Warren College Residence Halls.

building exterior existing conditions & challenges

The existing exterior of the three residence halls present a few challenges that should be addressed. The exterior is highly contrasted visually with the window system and ornamental metal work painted out in prominent red tone. The metal work is showing significant fading and discoloration as well. The exterior plaster color in relation to the glazing system is very unappealing and bland. The exterior suite balconies are visually open and under-utilized by student residents. Additionally, there are code deficiencies along with maintenance issues with the existing exposed decks.

existing challenges challenge 01 Ornamental metal eyebrows are discolored and add to visual confusion while providing no functional shading.

challenge 02 Window System painted in red tone appear to be fading in certain exposures. They add to the contrasted visual language in a negative way. Existing system glazing is single pane smoked and dark and does not meet new energy-efficiency standards. Frames to be replaced do not accept dualpane glazing.

challenge 03 Existing balconies in many locations in need of surface maintenance. These outdoor spaces are highly visible from adjacent suites and are currently underutilized by students.

challenge 04 Existing balcony ornamental metal work is faded in color/ tone and adds significant visual complexity that dates the building.

challenge 05 Existing balconies guardrails appear to be out of current code compliance. Would need to be replaced.

challenge 06 Existing bands of horizontal reveals coupled with awning elements and metal trellis system accentuate the visual banding of the building.

KEVIN DEFREITAS ARCHITECTS // WARREN HALLS REBRANDING FEASIBILITY STUDY

building exterior case studies & proposed solutions

The key design idea for the exterior of the residence halls is enhancement by subtraction. In carrying out this idea the facades would be stripped of the ornamental eyebrows and trellis elements, window system replaced with a natural aluminum tone, and plaster surface re-painted to be in concert with glazing system. The second thought is to rethink the barren suite balconies as usuable square footage. Recapture this series of vertical outdoor decks inside the residence suites themselves. This would provide needed additional common space to the efficiently sized existing suites, especially for the anticipated higher student density called for.

building entries existing conditions & challenges

The existing residence hall entries are difficult to find and lack clear understanding. The main facades are broken into small scale type elements with ornamental metal work, balconies, and trellis type features. The various elements serve to add visual complexity and distraction to the main entrance points. The vertical entry point consists of a incongruous mix of elements such as bay windows that add noise to the overall elevation.

challenge 03 Exterior entry pergola is not functional being open to elements and adding visually prominent element that does not clearly demarcate main entry.

challenge 04 Entry glazing system tucked back into building and outfitted with dark-tinted glass.

KEVIN DEFREITAS ARCHITECTS // WARREN HALLS REBRANDING FEASIBILITY STUDY

building entries case studies & proposed solutions

The key design idea for the main entries is to make them clear, transparent, and unique in character. The entry point should be a welcoming portal, a point of interface that stands in visual contrast to the quieted facades. Key components of the entries are illumination, transparency, materiality, and use of color.

exterior stairwells existing conditions & challenges

The existing exterior stairwells are heavily used by the student residents to exit and enter the residence halls; often because of quick access and close proximity to their suite. The current exit stairs show significant signs of wear and tear and in need of repairs. Elements such as landing guards are out of current code compliance and would need to be addressed. Architecturally this heavily utilized element appears very much enclosed and covered. The stair element presents itself in some locations as a visually prominent vertical element to the buildings. Potential opportunity exists to turn the stairs into an interactive lighter feeling structure, both physically & visually.

exterior stairwells case studies & proposed solutions

The stair element presents itself in some locations as a visually prominent vertical element to the buildings. The potential opportunity exists to transform the stairs into an interactive lighter feeling structure both physically & visually. Introduce a sense of lightness to the overall vertical structure by removing the in-fill wall and placing a patterned, perforated scrim. This screen could become a unique design at each of the major staircases. In addition, reduce the ornate visual language of the stair guardrails, handrails, and ornamental trellis by designing new clean simplified horizontal guards and enclosing the open trellis into a simple roof plane.

suite living space case studies & proposed solutions

The common living space within the residence suites is the central hub space for socializing, interacting, and sharing daily life amongst suite mates. Creating multiple use zones within the living room is needed. With the increase in student residents capturing the exterior deck area into the living space is a key feature. The now expanded common room can be divided into a lounging/seating area and a dining-study area. Providing a mix of seating types that will accommodate the potential of all suite residents is important. Finally, the overall design & furnishing aesthetic should create a clear, comfortable, colorful, and inviting common area that reminds you of your living room back home.

suite furniture case studies & proposed solutions

There is an opportunity to rethink how students will live within the confines of their bedroom suites. Current furniture type assumes the traditional manner of bed for sleeping, closet for storing, and desk for studying. Given the tight floor space of the bedrooms themselves and double occupancy being the minimum standard it is important to look at how the furniture can become streamlined and multi-functional. Thinking of the bedroom area as a cockpit allows the possibility to view every square inch as usable and functional. Following are case studies and designs that begin to illustrate this concept.

study rooms

existing conditions & challenges

The existing student lounges and study rooms are used by the student residents on a regular basis. The ground level lounges are common use and currently reflect dated themes such as 50's Diner or Industrial Loft, etc. The lounges are fairly small in space and overfilled with a mix of furniture types. These spaces are the primary element that is seen or experienced off the ground level entries. They along with the upper level study rooms need to be freshened up visually and reconfigured to create a stronger physical link from the entry lobbies. The following images and diagrams illustrate the associated challenges and issues currently with these common spaces.

challenge 03

Corridor

Large bay window configuration provides considerable direct daylight that needs to be screened. The bays present themselves as an awkward exterior element on the building elevation. The corners prove to be hard to furnish.

Current study space has no design approach or a clear message. Furnishing is not varied and adequate for student studying needs from short quick to longer periods of studying. Finish materials are very plain and provide no interest.

Living

challenge 04 Main access points into the study space are hard to recognize. Dual entries are redundant. A single clear entry and exit would clearly identify this public space.

Deck Space

Elevator

challenge 05 Corridor

Existing outdoor deck space has no furnishing or tables to allow outside studying. This space is underutilized by the students. Opportunity exists to create additional semi-private study space connected to the study room.

study rooms

case studies & proposed solutions The study rooms are bland and without an identity. Envisioning these rooms to be quiet, comfortable, inviting, and flexible. The big moves would be to first re-locate the entry to the study rooms off of the lobby-circulation. Second, annex the outdoor deck into the indoor study space. Third, deploy varied types of study furniture to create intimate study places as well as group study. Finally, use a palette of materials that work to define an identity that is fresh, sophisticated, bold, and comfortable.

student lounges case studies & proposed solutions

The student lounge are designed to reflect outdated themes such as a 50's Diner. These lounges are located on the ground levels of the Halls and serve as the most common use space aside from the entry lobbies themselves. The lounges need to be designed with a strong visual language reflecting a modern and familiar aesthetic. Creating an eclectic mix of lounging and relaxing spaces within the overall room is important. Re-orienting the main entries into these spaces off of the entry lobbies is also key. A stronger engagement with the outdoor courtyard would be nice to extend the space and foster interaction.

site pavilions existing conditions & challenges

The existing site landmarks in and around the Warren Residence Hall area are out moded, insignificant, irrelevant, and under-utilized. The site furnishings are few and far between much of it institutional grade concrete with very little appeal. The terminating pathways do not harness the natural protected scenic view out from the site. The main entry area onto the Warren residence site from Voight is nondescript and does not announce arrival onto or out of the project site. Way-finding kiosks dot the pathway into the heart of the Warren College Residences, but provide very little information delivering it in analog fashion with no interactive element. There are significant opportunities to re-think the landmark elements of the site that begin to position the space in a more forward thinking manner.

existing challenges

challenge 01 28' wide fire lane access required. Creates large area of paved access that feels very much like a roadway without any attention to pedestrian scale.

challenge 02 Secondary pedestrian access path running from quad east terminates into a fixed bench seat. This area has a fantastic scenic view of canyon and beyond. Opportunity to capture this area into a more usable structure.

challenge 03 Outdoor lighting elements are functionally poor and visually uninteresting. Making way finding and access in and out difficult.

challenge 04 Main recreation space in this area is the outdoor basketball court. Concrete court is in need of repair. Large paved surface feels like a unused plaza and adds to the expanse of hard surface area.

challenge 05 Minimal outdoor seating provided and none of it is under cover or shade element.

Warrenexisting Plaza Site Analysis conditions & challenges Currently the open space component of Warren Housing is comprised of a rolling lawn, two sand volleyball courts and a small cluster of deciduous trees. The space is appropriately scaled for the buildings and dining component but lacks a strong focal point. There is a visual axis that runs east west axis through the space that is undefined and interrupted by light poles and permanent site furnishings. The furnishings a sparse and unfocused, and generally do not promote gathering or interaction. The edges are defined by the fire lane to the north and west and building entries to the east and south. The space is open and flexible which can be an advantage, but it does not inspire or present opportunities for activities for large groups especially after hours.

The Beach at Warren Plaza case studies & proposed solutions There are many opportunities to improve Warren plaza. The space should inspire and impress on first visit and become a setting for making new friends and lasting memories. Ideas for tproviding focus to the space include a day and night community pavilion, creating a pool and beach amenity, or exaggerating the topography to emphasize the importance of the space as the heart of Warren Housing. Program enhancements could also include places for food trucks covered eating areas and movie screenings. New designs would refresh and energize the space an amenity for the whole college. Gateway features could be developed to enhance the sense of arrival as well as highlight axis points and views to the natural areas beyond. Sustainable features could include storm water filtration gardens, water harvesting, and solar and wind energy production.

landLAB // WARREN HALLS REBRANDING FEASIBILIT Y STUDY

Oasis/Lookout case studies & proposed solutions The “Freshman Center” can be activated in a variety of ways. Defining the building entries to support the architectural updates will go a long way creating a unique space between the halls. Indoor program can spill out onto the hall “porches” providing spaces for individual and collective expression which will enhance the over character of the court. The central space can be enhanced through creative use of planting, differentiation of paving types and adding program spaces such as bocce, ping pong and outdoor billiards. A lookout or architectural framing could provide a modern updater to the existing colonnade, which would serve as a dramatic and memorable backdrop for the plaza that creates a visual connection the canyon and Eucalyptus groves beyond.

Canyon existing Promenade Analysis conditions & challenges The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canyon Edgeâ&#x20AC;? has the potential to be one of the most unique places on the UCSD campus, unfortunately its current state is underutilized and under designed. The furthest and most dramatic edge is a corridor for service vehicles and series of trailheads that skirt the Warren Housing mesa which dilute the feeling of being on the edge of a natural preserve. The area has a direct visual connection through the adjacent housing and though Warren Plaza. The picnic table at the far terminus of the space is the beginning of an idea to connect the spaces but lacks the scale and drama necessary to create a meaningful relationship between the main plaza, the user and the landscape. The basketball court is a much needed amenity but may be better suited in another location as it dominates the space and is uninviting when not being used.

Lighting

SYSKA HENNESSY GROUP // WARREN HALLS REBRANDING FEASIBILITY STUDY

Area Lighting General Illumination

A combination of post top lighting and adjustable fixtures will be used for a higher level of general illumination. The adjustable fixtures will be used to highlight areas of interest and wayfinding while the post tops will provide appropriate light levels. This lighting strategy will meet code mandated egress illumination by keeping at least one footcandle on emergency egress circuit.

Modern LED post top ﬁxtures with 4100K, white light will replace the current sodium “shoebox” area lighting.

Warren Campus Student Housing MEP Feasibility Report ME Prepared for: UCSD Housing, Dining & Hospitality By: Syska Hennessy Group, Inc. Consulting + Engineering + Technology + Construction

Project No. UCSD2100 November 08, 2013

Executive Summary Syska Hennessy Group has been commissioned by the University of California, San Diego to provide an infrastructure feasibility study to assess the existing MEP systems conditions with recommendations for repair or improvement. The study was conducted on three separate housing buildings, Harlan, Frankfurter and Stewart located on the Warren Campus at UCSD in La Jolla. This report summarizes findings from review of as built drawings, discussions with Campus maintenance personnel and on site observations of the existing conditions. Consideration for the life expectancy of MEP systems over the next 20 years was also applied to the recommendations in this report.

Existing H&V Systems Ventilation Systems Currently, the three housing buildings have limited HVAC systems. There are small recirculating fan coil units located inside closets at each floor inside the living suits. These units are thermostatically controlled (one thermostat per suite) and provide heating or ventilation to all of the rooms within a typical housing suite. No cooling is provided from these units. Outside air is dependent on manually operable windows with no control interface to the mechanical ventilation system.

The system works by pulling air from the central living area of a typical suite then distributing supply air through ductwork and diffusers into the various spaces within the suites. With the operable windows open, a sufficient air-change and ventilation of the suite is achieved. If the windows are closed, circulation is dependent on air moving through or under doors and there is no fresh air contribution. This can result in stagnant and unpleasant conditions. Fan coil equipment, ductwork and diffusers are in satisfactory condition.

University of California, San Diego Warren Campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Student Housing, MEP Feasibility Report

Page 2 November 05, 2013

Recommendations Provide at least the code minimum outside air requirement to the interior corridors (of the suites). Exterior rooms have adequate natural ventilation through the operable windows however, the interior corridors fall short. 2013 CMC Section 402.2.1 indicates: â&#x20AC;&#x153;where interior spaces without direct openings to the outdoors are ventilated through adjoining rooms, the opening between rooms shall be permanently unobstructed and have a free area of not less than 8 percent of the area of the interior room, nor less than 25 square feet. This may be achieved through new transfer grills. Provide additional make-up air to the bathrooms. This works with the OA to the interior corridors because the corridor air is transferred to the bathrooms and exhausted. This may be achieved by adding heating-only make-up air units, gravity ventilators or transfer air grills to adjacent exterior spaces. The most feasible and cost effective solution would be the transfer grill addition. At 22-years, the fan coil equipment is approaching expected life. The motors and valves within each of these units should be inspected and replaced as necessary during the upgrades to the buildings. Diffusers would only be replaced where damaged and to accommodate the reconfiguration of the suites.

Page 3 November 05, 2013

Exhaust Systems Exhaust systems for the three housing buildings are provided for the bathrooms to accommodate the necessary toilet exhaust. Exhaust fans are located on the roofs of the buildings and connected to vertical duct risers. Transfer ducts are located on each floor at the bathrooms to pull air from the space. No dampers or smoke control is evident. The roof mounted fans appear to be in satisfactory condition.

Recommendations Other than maintenance, no changes are recommended for the toilet exhaust systems. For the custodial rooms, we recommend the addition of new exhaust fans to provide the code 1.0 CFM per SF minimum requirement. This may be provided with small, through-wall fan units. We also recommend adding exhaust to the laundry rooms. These spaces are currently nonventilated and can become stagnant and uncomfortable. This is not a code requirement but a recommendation to improve living conditions.

Page 4 November 05, 2013

Typical Laundry Room We also suggest replacement of the existing ventilation fan located in the main electrical room inside the basement of the Frankfurter Building. The existing fan is in poor condition.

Page 5 November 05, 2013

Windows The existing windows are single-glazed and contribute a significant heat gain to the interior spaces of the living suites. They also do not meet current code requirements.

Recommendations Replace the existing exterior windows with ASHRAE 90.1 compliant units to meet current energy codes and thermal control. Operable units should be designed and specified to facilitate natural ventilation to the interior spaces. Modeling of the average wind conditions around the buildings will help determine the proper swing and opening direction for the windows so that natural breezes are captured.

Page 6 November 05, 2013

Enhanced Natural Ventilation Because the existing buildings are located along a canyon with naturally occurring breezes, the possibility of enhanced natural ventilation may be desired and should be considered. The development of a natural ventilation system within the buildings is dependent on the existing architecture, floorplans and building orientation. CFD modeling is required and would help determine the appropriate application of windows, transfer grills, ventilators and possibly solar chimneys. A solar chimney is a technology that can be used to enhance the ventilation of a residential or commercial structure. A solar chimney uses the same principle at use in a fireplace. Due to heat naturally wanting to rise; like the air from a fire will rise through a chimney, creating draft, which takes the smoke with it. This suction is the reason why there is no smoke in a dwelling when a fire is burning in the fireplace. In the case of a solar chimney, the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural heating ability is being used to cause the air in the chimney to rise, which creates that same type of draft and moves the hot air out of the chimney. In the case of a solar chimney, this heating causes the cooler air from below to be pulled into the chimney for heating as the hot air is released from the top of the chimney. The act of pulling in cooler air creates air movement and ventilation in the structure. One of the most important things to consider when preparing for a solar chimney is placement. The solar chimney must be placed on the roof of a structure in an area that is naturally hit by the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays. The best scenario is to place the chimney in an area that gets hit when the sun is strongest in the afternoon. It is also important to consider the thermal characteristics of the solar chimney and design the solar chimney with materials that absorb the most heat, which generally includes a black frame, tinted glass and insulated glazing. Size of the solar chimney is another important consideration, as the larger the chimney is, the more effective it is. Further study and modeling of this idea would be mandatory to determine if this strategy would work for the existing housing buildings.

Existing Plumbing Systems Observations of plumbing systems for this report are limited to the review of existing plumbing fixtures, drains and visible piping connections. Existing Plumbing Services Each of the three housing buildings receive cold water, hot water supply and return, sanitary waste and gas from the site. Gas service is limited to the laundry equipment. DHWS and DHWR originate from the central Mechanical Room at the dining commons building. The individual buildings do not have separate water heaters. Most of the piping for these services is concealed however no major issues were identified by FM staff. The hot and cold water risers are copper piping. The sanitary waste piping is cast iron. Both of these riser systems are of the original 22-year old construction. Typically, these types of piping materials have 40 to 50 year life expectancy. Recommendations If during the construction of the “rebranding” of the housing buildings the piping is exposed, we recommend an inspection be made on the riser systems. Current municipal water treatment additives have been found to reduce the life of piping systems. Make repairs only as needed. Plumbing Fixtures Lavatories The existing lavatory fixtures within the bathrooms are 4-inch, center set, self-rimming china in good condition. Faucets are single handle, non-low flow type chrome over brass fittings. In many locations the chrome is thinning showing wear.

Existing drain piping and manually operated faucets

Page 8 November 05, 2013

Recommendations Replace the lavatories only as indicated in the “rebranding” concepts to accommodate additional capacity and ADA considerations. The faucets must be replaced with new to meet current codes for water flow and use. We recommend products similar to the Kohler “Sculpted, BatteryPowered, Touchless Bathroom Faucet model #K-13462. Additionally, the existing drain piping, grid strainers and traps require replacing. Item New Kohler #K-13462 Faucet

Quantity 15/Flr

Water Closets Existing water closets are floormount, white china, flushometer valve non-low-flow units manufactured by Eljer. Non-ADA types include a trap primer. Recommendations Because the existing fixtures do not meet current code requirements for water use and flow, they will need to be replaced. We recommend replacement in-kind with the current UCSD standard for housing facilities or a product similar to the Kohler “floormount, flushvalve” type similar to “Highline” series. These should include recessed, battery-powered, touchless flush valves. Item New Kohler "Highline" floormount toilet

Quantity 12/Flr

Showers The existing showers are showing their age and similar to the lavatory faucets, the chrome finish is wearing thin. Additionally, the shower heads are not low-flow. The shower mixing valves are

Page 9 November 05, 2013

also past their life expectancy at 22-years. The ADA Accessible shower controls and shower heads appear to not meet current California Accessibility Code in regards to location relative to the seat. Recommendations We recommend replacing the existing shower heads with code compliant fixtures matched with new mixing valves. This would most likely occur as part of the “rebranding” changes that will reconfigure the shower layouts. Item New low-flow adjustable shower head New pressure balanced mixing valve assembly

Quantity 15/Flr 15/Flr

Fire Protection Systems Currently each of the three buildings is fully sprinklered with a code compliant wet-pipe system. Risers are located within the exterior stair enclosures then piping enters the building above the corridor ceilings at each floor. The condition of the systems appears to be in good working order and no major issues were identified by FM staff. There are a couple of test valve locations that appear to be leaking but maintenance could resolve that issue easily. Recommendations We do not recommend any changes to the systems as a result of this study. However, heads may need to be relocated depending on the configuration of the suites through the “rebranding” projects and maintenance will be required to resolve the minor leaks.

Existing Electrical Systems Observations of electrical systems for this report are limited to the review of the main equipment, distribution and branch circuit panelboards, lighting inverters and wiring devices. Existing Service Equipment The electrical service to the three buildings reviewed originates from a General Electric 1600 amp, 208Y/120 volt distribution board, “LCR” located in Frankfurter Hall. This distribution board serves three separate 400 amp distribution panels, “DPA”, “DPB” and “DPC” located in each of the three housing buildings. Although 22-years old, this equipment is in satisfactory condition and appears to be well maintained. Additionally, replacement parts are still available from GE and aftermarket vendors for this equipment. Currently, load is measured for each of the three distribution feeders to the buildings at the 1600 amp distribution board through analog KWH meters. These existing KWH meters are not “smart” demand type meters and only record current KW/H consumption. The electrical capacity of the service equipment “LCR” and the three distribution panels “DPA”, “DPB” and “DPC” appears to be adequate and is not overloaded. However, to determine exact loading, a 30-day recording of the demand should be performed. Recommendations The existing service equipment is in good condition and unless there is a significant change to the electrical load density we do not recommend replacement or modifications through this assessment. The University may want to consider replacing the existing KWH meters with new, digital power meters. These could be connected to the campus monitoring systems so that information regarding load consumption from each of the buildings can be tracked. Item Square-D PowerLogic PM800 Power Meter

Quantity 3

Branch Circuit Panelboards Branch circuiting within the three housing buildings is similar with typically one 208Y/120 volt panelboard located inside each suite. These panelboards serve the various plug loads as well as the normal lighting, fan coil heating units and laundry equipment. Although 22-years old, this

University of California, San Diego Warren Campus – Student Housing, MEP Feasibility Report

Page 11 November 05, 2013

equipment is in satisfactory condition and appears to be well maintained. Additionally, replacement parts are still available from GE and aftermarket vendors for this equipment. Electrical capacity of the individual panelboards appears to be adequate for the typical housing unit loads. Recommendations The existing branch circuit panelboards are in good condition and unless there is a significant change to the electrical load density we do not recommend replacement or modifications through this assessment. However, future energy code changes (CEC Title 24) that take effect in January of 2014 may require changes or additions to the panels to allow for monitoring of individual load types. Load monitoring, measurement and verification of the various plug loads, lighting and mechanical loads will be required if the University adopts the new codes. After-market branch circuit metering equipment similar to Square-D BCM-42 could be installed at the panelboards to accommodate this requirement. Item Square-D PowerLogic BCM42 Power Meter

Quantity 18

Emergency Lighting Inverters Each of the three housing buildings is furnished with a single, central emergency lighting inverter unit. These supply the code mandated emergency egress or life safety power to selected lighting along the egress paths inside the buildings. Although the equipment appears to be in satisfactory condition, it is past the 20-year life expectancy for this equipment and the internal batteries. Recommendations We recommend replacing the individual inverters at the three housing buildings with new equipment. Because life safety codes have changed since 1991, the new inverter equipment should be sized to accommodate additional lighting loads including: •

Interior egress paths.

•

Selected lighting inside the individual living suites. (not currently supplied)

•

Building entrance lighting.

•

Exit discharge and egress lighting at the stairwells.

University of California, San Diego Warren Campus – Student Housing, MEP Feasibility Report

Page 12 November 05, 2013

•

Exterior egress paths to the “public way”.

The new inverters would replace the existing equipment at the same locations and would connect to the existing branch circuiting. Exterior site lighting circuits would need to be intercepted and extended to the inverters within the electrical rooms. New equipment would have monitored output circuit breakers, 208 volt input, 120/208 volt output and load capacity no less than 4.8kW.

Item Dual-Lite LSN Series 4.8kW inverter

Page 13 November 05, 2013

Wiring Devices and Branch Circuiting Existing wiring devices within the three housing buildings are in decent condition. The quantity and locations relate to the original design for the spaces but are a bit too infrequent by today’s standards. The wiring to the devices is in satisfactory condition and no issues were identified by FM staff.

Recommendations To accommodate the “rebranding” and proposed designs for the interior spaces, we recommend replacing the individual wiring devices as necessary to coordinate with the concepts. Additionally, we recommend adding approximately 5% new receptacles to the Study Lounges and Suites to allow for more use of electronic devices and equipment. Our estimation of this would include: •

Two new receptacle branch circuits per floor of each building.

•

New receptacles located in the Study Lounges, Suites, bathrooms and Sleeping Units.

Item New Receptacles and Branch Circuits

Quantity 5%

Fire alarm Systems Each of the three housing buildings currently have a Simplex fire alarm system installed with individual building control panels. The system is manually or automatically actuated through pull stations located near the building exits or smoke detectors located in the corridors and living/sleeping areas. Audio/visual signaling devices are located throughout the buildings for occupant notification. Each of the individual FACP’s are connected through tel/data wiring to the campus central monitoring system. The system appears to be well maintained and in good operating condition meeting the code and UCSD standards for when the buildings were constructed. Recommendations We do not recommend wholesale changes to the system. Any revisions to the system may trigger a requirement to bring the entire system up to current codes and UCSD standards. This would mean new fire alarm control panels, addressable devices and supervised wiring systems. To accommodate the “rebranding” concept designs, minor relocation of existing devices should be the only change to the existing systems.

DCI Engineers has completed a structural/seismic study of the Warren Hall Residence Buildings. This study was done as part of a rebranding study being complete by Kevin DeFreitas Architects. Our study focused on four areas: A. B. C. D.

Seismic Performance of the Warren Hall Residences Impact of proposed architectural changes on existing structures Pedestrian bridges located over the main pathway leading into the Warren Hall complex New Site Pavilions

The study included several site visits and a review of existing structural drawings for Warren Hall and the pedestrian ramp associated with the adjacent residence buildings. A. Summary of Seismic Performance of Warren Hall Residences The following summarizes our findings and recommendations with regard to the seismic evaluation of the existing buildings. Appendix A includes our detailed Tier 1 and 2 analyses. 1. The proposed architectural changes to the building should not trigger code mandated seismic upgrades. Based on UCOP requirements a study is required to confirm that the building meets a minimum life safety performance level. This is defined using ASCE 41 and is S-3 for BSE-R earthquake and S-5 for BSE-2. Also given the increase in occupancy and the importance of housing on the campus it was determined that it would be prudent to complete a seismic review of the buildings. 2. There are a total of three buildings. However they are each divided into three separate structures separated by seismic joints. The buildings range in height from 3 to 5 stories. 3. The lateral system for each building consists of concrete diaphragms spanning between concentric braced frames. The lateral design was based on 1988 UBC. 4. A Tier 1 evaluation was completed first. We then completed a Tier 2 look at the Tier 1 noncompliant items. Based on the age of the building the key part of the evaluation was to confirm that the buildings met the seismic requirements of the 1988 UBC. 5. The Tier 1 evaluation determined the following: a. In general the main components of the lateral system meet the 1988 UBC. b. However there were some locations where the brace connections do not meet code. c.

The seismic joint width was found to be non-compliant. However a Tier 2 look at this item determined that it should be adequate.

6. In addition to the Tier 1 evaluation we also reviewed the brace frame configurations and the seismic performance. The following summarizes our findings: a. The braces are well laid out in the building (see Fig 1). There are multiple braced frames in each direction and they are symmetrically placed in the building.

Warren Hall Seismic/Structural Study

Page 3 of 7

b. The braces are in a chevron configuration. This type of brace configuration has been shown to perform poorly during seismic event. When the compression brace buckles the tension brace loads may fail the beam. This also results in large displacements. 7. Based on our evaluation we have the following seismic renovation recommendations: a. The brace connections that do not meet code should be strengthened. This will require adding additional welds. Appendix B includes requirements for strengthening the connections.

Seismic Joint

Braced frames

Floor Plan Fig 1

b. Columns should be added to the braced frames (see Fig 2). These are typically referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;zipper columnsâ&#x20AC;?. These would be located where the braces intersect with the beam. These columns will resolve the chevron brace configuration issues discussed above. It will also improve the braced frames performance level and bring them closer to achieving a lateral design that is comparable to current code designed braced frames. There are a number of ways to design these columns. When the retrofit is completed this will need to be looked at more closely. Appendix B shows our preliminary sizing information regarding the columns.

Add Columns

Architectural Changes

Braced Frame Elevation Fig 2 B. Proposed architectural changes. There are a number of proposed architectural changes. The ones that would impact the structural systems are discussed below: 1. Infill metal roof trellis over stairs with roof framing: This can be completed by adding 1.5 inch deep by 18 gauge metal roof deck over the existing steel channels and beams. It will be welded down to the beams. The roof beams and columns are able to handle the added vertical loads from the roof. However the current lateral system is based on a cantilevered column system. The cantilevered column system will not work well with this change. One level of lateral x-bracing will need to be added between the new roof and the structure below (see Photo 1 below).

Add 1 inch diameter- Rod Braces

Stair Trellis Photo 1

2. Enclose balcony space: This will likely be completed by adding metal studs spanning vertically between balconies. Metal stud box beams and post would be used for any large window openings. At the floors a thin layer of self-leveling grout may be added to the existing decks to eliminate slope/steps. These changes will add some additional dead load and wind load to the building. However the increase will be small enough that it will not impact the lateral design or require strengthening of the gravity system. The balconies are supported on steel columns. These columns should be able to support the added weight from the cladding and roof. C. Pedestrian Bridge There are pedestrian bridges located over the main pathway entrance to the building. The bridge provides very little headroom. We have reviewed the structural construction for these walkways and how the low headroom issue could be improved. 1. Existing construction: The bridges are all concrete framed however the upper level bridges are framed differently than the bottom level bridge (see bridge photo on next page). The bridges are rigidly connected to one building and there is a seismic joint at the opposite side. The bottom bridge appears to some framing for pipe chase. 2. Performance issues: The upper bridges are supported on one side with a sliding connection. This connection allows for some lateral movement. However if there is significant lateral movement of the buildings during a seismic event the bridge connection on the sliding end could lose support and allow the bridge to collapse. This type of failure would represent a significant falling hazard to pedestrian in the area of the bridges. This is mainly a concern at the upper levels where there is typically the most movement (see bridge Photos 2 and 3). It appears that some retrofit work has been completed on the sliding end. There is currently a study being completed by UCSD to determine the extent of this problem.

3. Headroom Improvement: We considered two possible ways to increase the headroom. These are described below. The first option was determined to be the preferred solution. a. The first option is to remove the bridge completely. This option would obviously require a closer review of the circulation issues associated with the bridge to see if it is needed for ADA or fire code issues. b. The second option is to remove the existing bridge and reframe it. This would likely be framed with steel. Appendix C shows a typical cross section of a new steel framed bridge. The beams could be moved up to so that the bottom of the beams is at the same elevations as the bottom of the slab. This would maximize the headroom. It looks like this could increase the headroom by approximately 12 inches.

Upper levels

D. Site Pavilions The project includes the additional of several new site pavilion structures. The study looked at wood and steel options for their construction. The wood version would likely be the least expensive however the steel option would provide more flexibility in the design and more durability. Each of the options is described below: 1. Wood Framed: They roof could be framed with wood trusses spaced at 24 inches on center spanning between perimeter wood framed walls. The roof could also be framed with 2x joist spanning between a post and beam framed ridge beams. The lateral system will consist of plywood roof diaphragms spanning between plywood shearwalls. The foundation will consist of slab on grade with monolithic spread and strip footings. 2. Steel Framed: The roof could be framed with light gauge metal trusses at 24 inches on center spanning between light gauge metal studs. Metal deck would span between the roof trusses. The roof may also be framed with bent steel HSS or wide flange beams spanning the width of the building and supported on steel columns. The lateral system would consist of metal deck roof diaphragm spanning between either flat strap bracing or steel plate shearwalls. The foundation will consist of slab on grade with monolithic spread and strip footings

Kevin deFreitas deFreitas Architects

885 Albion Street San Diego CA 921 06 Accessibility Consulting Services

Re:

Warren Hall Feasibility Study University of California San Diego San Diego, California Dear Mr. deFreitas: Paul L. Bishop, Architect is pleased to submit this Accessibility Review and recommendations to assist the University in complying with the California Building Code (CBC) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at this location. The attached report indicates those existing elements that do not comply with the 2013 CBC and 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Standards (ADAS). We have based our report on the assumption that the project will be submitted to the appropriate authorities for approval after January 1,2014, and therefore the 201 3 CBC will be the enforceable version of

the code. The 2010 ADAS has been in effect since March 1 5,2A12 as the enforceable federal standard for accessibility. The previous federal technical requirements, the 1991 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADMG) were the standards in force up until March 1 4,2012, However, the US Department of Justice (D0J) has indicated that if individual elements were designed and constructed in accordance with the 1991 ADMG, upgrades to comply with the

2010 ADAS are not required. This is considered the "Safe Harbor" exception. Our review did not include a detailed survey of existing site conditions, specifically the cross slope and running slope of the numerous walkways surrounding Frankfurter, Harlan and Stewart Halls. We recommend that a topographic survey be prepared for the project area to determine the extent to which the existing walkrruays must be replaced to comply with state and federal accessibility requirements. Please contact me should you wish to discuss any of my findings. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.

UCSD – Harlan Residence Hall Code Study CODE DATA Building Code: Use type: Occupancy Type: Construction Type: Sprinklered: Fire Alarms: Stories:

California Building Code 2013 (Note: January 1st 2014 new building code will be in effect) “Sleeping unit” (To be determined by Fire Marshall) (CBC 202) R-2 Dormitories (This is a change from original code which had it as R-1) (CBC Section 310) Type II-A Yes No Four (4)

OCCUPANCY INCREASE Occupancy Rate = 50 occupants/s.f. (CBC Table 1004.1.1) Square footage = 680 s.f. for each suite(dorm room pod) (excluding closets, hallways, commons and bathrooms) Total Occupants = 14 max./suite (Currently the occupancy of each pod is 8) Therefore the occupancy is allowed to be increased to a maximum of 14/suite . REQUIRED EXITS To determine the number of exit access stairways required the total occupant load for a story must be determined. The second floor has the greatest number of occupants for any given story totaling 72 occupants (70 for dorms and 2 for RA). Based on the number of occupants exiting each floor (72 for second floor) the required number of exits is two (2) (CBC 1021). Therefore only two exit access stairways are required, provided we meet the travel distance requirements. To determine the required exits from each suite/room or space, CBC Section 1015 exception 1, states that dwelling units with a maximum occupancy of 20 can have one exit. (This interpretation of sleeping units to be allowed in this exception, to be determined by Fire Marshall and/or building official) “1015.1 Exits or exit access doorways from spaces. Two exits or exit access doorways from any space shall be provided where one of the following conditions exists: 1. The occupant load of the space exceeds one of the values in Table 1015.1. Exceptions: 1. In Group R-2 and R-3 occupancies, one means of egress is permitted within and from individual dwelling units with a maximum occupant load of 20 where the dwelling unit is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 or 903.3.1.2.” Therefore only one exit is required from each suite as long as the occupancy is less than 20.

TRAVEL DISTANCE The Maximum Exit Access Travel Distance is 250’ for a fully sprinklered building, for R occupancy type (CBC Table 1016.2) This can be increased due exterior egress balcony (see below). “1016.2.1 Exterior egress balcony increase. Exit access travel distances specified in Table 1016.2 shall be increased up to an additional 100 feet (30,480 mm) provided the last portion of the exit access leading to the exit occurs on an exterior egress balcony constructed in accordance with Section 1019. The length of such balcony shall not be less than the amount of the increase taken. “1016.3 Measurement. Exit access travel distance shall be measured from the most remote point within a story along the natural and unobstructed path of horizontal and vertical egress travel to the entrance to an exit.” All exits do not exceed 250’ therefore they meet current travel distance requirements. EXTERIOR EMERGENCY ESCAPE The exception that did not require us to maintain a secondary “emergency escape and rescue” means of egress out the windows, no longer exist in the new building code (CBC 2013). “1029.1 General. In addition to the means of egress required by this chapter, provisions shall be made for emergency escape and rescue openings in Group R-2 occupancies in accordance with Tables 1021.2(1) and 1021.2(2) and Group R-3 occupancies. Basements and sleeping rooms below the fourth story above grade plane shall have at least one exterior emergency escape and rescue opening in accordance with this section. Where basements contain one or more sleeping rooms, emergency escape and rescue openings shall be required in each sleeping room, but shall not be required in adjoining areas of the basement. Such openings shall open directly into a public way or to a yard or court that opens to a public way.” Therefore all windows in each dorm room will need to meet emergency escape to the exterior requirements.

Hatched area is a dorm room pod or suite

MEANS OF EGRESS

SECTION 1015 EXIT AND EXIT ACCESS DOORWAYS

1015.1 Exits or exit access doorways from spaces. Two exits or exit access doorways from any space shall be provided where one of the following conditions exists:

1. The occupant load of the space exceeds one of the values in Table 1015.1.

Exceptions: 1. In Group R-2 and R-3 occupancies, one means of egress is permitted within and from individual dwelling units with a maximum occupant load of 20 where the dwelling unit is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 or 903.3.1.2. 2. Care suites in Group 1-2 occupancies complying with Section 407.4.3. 2. The common path of egress travel exceeds one of the limitations of Section 1014.3. 3. Where required by Section 1015.3, 1015.4, 1015.5, or 1015.6. 4. In detention and correctional facilities and holding cells, such as are found in courthouse buildings, when the occupant load is more than 20 see Section 408.3.11. Where a building contains mixed occupancies, each individual occupancy shall comply with the applicable requirements for that occupancy. Where applicable, cumulative occupant loads from adjacent occupancies shall be considered in accordance with the provisions of Section 1004.1.

1015.1.1 Three or more exits or exit access doorways. Three exits or exit access doorways shall be provided from any space with an occupant load of 501 to 1,000. Four exits or exit access doorways shall be provided from any space with an occupant load greater than 1,000.

1015.2 Exit or exit access doorway arrangement. Required exits shall be located in a manner that makes their availability obvious. Exits shall be unobstructed at all times. Exit and exit access doorways shall be arranged in accordance with Sections 1015.2.1 and 1015.2.2. Exit access doorways, contributing to the total number of exits or exit access doorways required by Sections 1015.1 and 1015.1.1, shall lead to separate exits. 1015.2.1 Two exits or exit access doorways. Where two exits or exit access doorways are required from any portion of the exit access, the exit doors or exit access door2013 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE

ways shall be placed a distance apart equal to not less than one-half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the building or area to be served measured in a straight line between exit doors or exit access doorways. Interlocking or scissor stairs shall be counted as one exit stairway.

Exceptions: 1 Where interior exit stairways are interconnected by a I-hour fire-resistance-rated corridor conforming to the requirements of Section 1018, the required exit separation shall be measured along the shortest direct line of travel within the corridor. 2. Where a building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 or 903.3.1.2, the separation distance of the exit doors or exit access doorways shall not be less than one-third of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the area served. 1015.2.2 Three or more exits or exit access doorways. Where access to three or more exits is required, at least two exit doors or exit access doorways shall be arranged in accordance with the provisions of Section 1015.2.1.
