Expansion of Morgan Library 510 W 25th St, New York, NY 10001
Nathan Mickelson U0600-3944 Design Development Fall 2016 University of South Florida SACD December 1st 2016
The Expansion of the Morgan Library is located in the historic district of Chelsea Manhattan, New York, and is south from the Hudson Yards. Chelsea is primarily a residential area with art galleries dotting the surrounding landscape, allowing for the perfect context for an innovative and practical public library and museum to develop.
Environment
Due to Subway transportation being limited, the site’s main advantage for accessibility is its adjacency to the Highline Park. Because Highline access tends to be few and far between, The Expansion of the Morgan Library aims to create public library and museum with an accessible path between the Highline and the street to allow for further public engagement. The surrounding low to mid-rise context affords the site access to sun angles for natural light and also allows for a view to the Hudson River. A sturdy rock formation isn’t too far from the surface of the topography, so the structure of the midrise shouldn’t have to worry about heavy settlement of the foundation.

Climate New York State of New York, United States of America, 40.71°N 74.01°W 10m asl The meteoblue climate diagrams are based on 30 years of hourly weather model simulations and available for every place on Earth. They give good indications of typical climate patterns and expected conditions (temperature, precipitation, sunshine and wind). The simulated weather data have a spatial resolution of approximately 30 km and may not reproduce all local weather effects, such as thunderstorms, local winds, or tornadoes. You can explore the climate for any location like the Amazon rainforest, West-Africa savannas, Sahara desert, Siberian Tundra or the Himalaya.

The driving force behind this project was to create a multi-height crossroads between the Highline and 25th street that carefully splices together a new form of urban mobility with the old form, creating a new level, both literally and figuratively, of public engagement. Because the site is slim, the air rights given 30’ above the highline were imperative in order to maximize each floor’s potential.

The main concept behind the tower became an idea of the tower blossoming as one traveled up the “stem�. In this way, the tower is maximizing its occupiable area while also creating a spectacle for pedestrians walking down the linear stretch of the Highline next to the site.

Plumbing Main system that supplies hot and cold water to the building as well as discharging refuse. The water is pumped from the basement level from the city water main and stored in tanks on the rooftop to maintain pressure through gravity. The water is then siphoned into a chiller, a boiler, or a cooling tower to supply the building with water.
The YLAA Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller is a light, small, efficient, low maintenance vapor-compression system. I chose this unit because it will reduce my client’s energy costs by as much as 40%, reduce my client’s environmental impact (zero-ODP HFC-410A refrigerant and up to 50% less refrigerant charge) and reduce the cost of ownership by minimizing my client’s installation, electric and service expenses due to the system being compact and efficient.
The Aerco AM 1000 Boiler is a “high-efficiency condensing unit” that is able to run at 399,000 to 1,000,000 BTU/hr with efficiencies that rate upwards at 98% compared to other boilers. I chose this unit because it has great reliability, low nitrous-oxide and carbon dioxide emission, quiet operation, interchangeability between gas and propane, easy access and maintenance with a small footprint, and it has the ability to be linked with multiple additional units should the need arise.

Electrical Electrical system that powers the equipment and daily requirements for the building. A single line runs from the transformer to the main-distribution panelboard from the city main power, then the power is dispersed into three separate lines with an electrical panel at each floor per line.

Mechanical Each floor is provided a VAV box for heating and cooling. To cool the floor, chilled water is siphoned from the rooftop chiller into the mixing box to cool the air. To heat the floor, electricity is used to generate heat for dispursement through the supply (blue) air vents.

Plenum and Floor-to-Wall Details: The Open-Web Joist The open web joist allowed was chosen due to its versatility in both attaching to a masonry wall and attaching to steel and metal deck, connecting the core to the steel structure. It also allows more space underneath for mechanical, HVAC, fire suppression, and plumbing.

Corner Detail and Wall Detail: Curtain Wall System I chose a curtain wall system because of it’s lightweight construction and its high yield of natural light. A curtain wall system is also advantageous because it has a seamless fit of glass that is both waterproof and airtight.
