Building Sciences Data driven sustainable solutions.

As designers and planners of the built environment, we have a tremendous impact on the world around us and take this responsibility seriously. We believe that every design solutions should make lives better. Our focus has shifted beyWond “doing more with less” towards restoring and improving the sites, neighborhoods, and cities within which we build. This intention requires rigor and it is our strategy for implementing this vision that sets us apart.

Page approaches sustainable and regenerative design through the interdisciplinary lens of building science to create higher performing, healthier, more resilient buildings. We are grounded in our client’s sustainability priorities, we engage a truly integrated process, and we are guided by data driven solutions.

Over the last 10 years, we have seen an increasing in the need to become more resilient to face the unknowns of the future. We want to plan for climate extremes and also create adaptable projects that explore the influence of the built environment on long term health and connection to communities.

We believe in a future where buildings create more energy than they use, make people healthier, and are positive contributors in their communities. As a 122-year-old firm and one of the first large firms to sign the AIA 2030 Commitment, we are invested in leading our industry through this energy and technological transition towards a regenerative tomorrow.

Design for Impact

We design for impact by creating high-performing, healthy, and resilient projects for our communities.

Design for Impact

At Page, we understand our work’s tremendous impact on the built environment and communities where we work, live, and play. We also recognize that every climate has a different set of challenges, every site has a unique fingerprint, and every project has its own story. Our Design for Impact (DFI) approach to sustainability and impact is grounded in these stories and individual responses to place, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

We begin with the end in mind and start each project by asking, “What impact story do you want to tell at the end of this project?” Together, we review organizational objectives and client priorities, define clear guiding principles and performance goals that become key drivers in early design concepts, and guide integrative solutions.

Our DFI framework also helps organize our internal efforts. Each impact area has its own coLAB within Page to share knowledge and advance strategies across our markets, practices, and operations.

Integrate and coordinate strategies to help advance DFI goals.

Review project strategies regularly as part of the design coordination and include them in design documents.

Refine the DFI statement at the end of both the design and construction process to reflect the project strategies employed and relevant metrics for achieving goals.

Place-based Priorities

We recognize that every climate has a different set of challenges, every site has an unique fingerprint, and every project has its own story to tell.

Our approach to sustainability is grounded in these stories and responses to place - not in a one-size-fitsall checklist. We define opportunties through our open ended Sustainbility Whelel and evaulate value from a Triple Bottom Line perspective.

We begin with a foundational conversation about organizational objectives and client-priorities. We then incorporate these priorities with our own firm commitments, values and performance strategies, giving us clear guiding principles and shared project performance goals. By integrating these priorities and principles our responses to these core questions become key drivers in early design concepts and guide integrative solutions.

Any project should seek to first and foremost serve the people and purpose of the facility. From the initial conversations with project stakeholders to engagement with end users, we aim to advance wellness as a state of being, ground a project in understanding of place and the community it serves.

Every project has an impact and its important to us to minimize the footprint we leave. Through thoughtful site design and water maangement to response architecture that leverages the sun’s power, we are actively tracking and improving our work’s environmental measures.

Good design adds value for owners, occupants, community, and the economy, regardless of project size and budget. Planning for an unpredictable future, designing with a holistic idea of place has never been more important for long term vaiability.

Where it aligns with our clients goals, we use environmental frameworks such as LEED, Living Building Challenge, WELL to help owners quantify their environmental impact and measure improvements.

Building Sciences Approach

We are architects with technical understanding of building systems and engineers with an appreciation for thoughtful design solutions. Our diversity of perspective and background makes us, our firm, and our projects better.

Integrated Process

We believe in the power of collaboration and its catalytic effect on design solutions across all disciplines. We are architects with technical understanding of building systems and engineers with an appreciation for thoughtful design solutions. We are creatives who develop financial models and planners who are engaged in facility operations. Our diversity of perspective and background makes us, our firm, and our projects better.

We craft each team for each project, intersecting disciplines, market sectors, and studios. Our teams are thoughtfully selected based on expertise, skills, and experience to create a unique set of design leaders to appropriate to respond to your project.

We are committed to creating a place at the table for all team members and stakeholders as equal partners to influence the design process and solutions from project start. A collaborative design process allows creative solutions to evolve merging the collective talents of the entire team of architects, engineers, construction, and operations and maintenance professionals.

We are committed to introducing a risk management to the integrated design approach early in the design phase to provide cost and schedule benefits throughout the rest of the design and construction process. Owner and user stakeholders are integral to this risk mitigation process, bringing mission intimacy, lessons learned, and cultural understanding to each project.

Data-Driven Design

Page weaves a data driven approach into our integrated design process. This building performance suite of services is embedded within our practice areas, providing not only technical in-house building performance expertise, but also infusing our culture with a deeper understanding of our environmental responsibilities and opportunities to improve design decisions at every step along the way.

Data and transparency are key mechanisms in our design process. We approach high performing projects collaboratively with our consultants and in partnership with our contractors. It is of the utmost importance we are aligned around common goals and clear in our project delivery strategy in order to build these high performance and regenerative facilities together.

We use energy modeling as a design tool to evaluate options and inform strategic solutions. Our modeling process is tightly woven into our BIM workflow, linking our teams and allowing us to provide estimated energy results earlier and more often to advance our project’s performance.

This data driven process is intrinsically linked to life cycle cost analysis and allows us to measure side by side metrics that matter such as cost (first, operational, maintenance), climate impacts, resource.

Building Sciences Services

Sustainability Programming

We use the goal setting process to assess not only programming needs but also develop a thoughtful approach to helping clients define their sustianability objectives. Connecting the dots from organizational sustainability goals to how those ideals can be represented in a facility, we help teams define key issues that will need to be addressed and also define opportunities for design solutions. We develop a sustainability action plan for the team to use as a guide for the design process.

Sustainable Urban Design and Planning

Page has extensive experience working with jurisdictions to craft downtown and citywide plans that encourage alternate modes of transportation and compact, mixed-use development. Our portfolio of transit facilities and transit-oriented development plans help communities minimize environmental impacts. Our work with universities supports their goals to attain climate neutrality and other sustainability measures.

Policy and Guideline Development

Our team has worked with federal agencies, municipal governments, university systems and private institutional clients to develop high performance policies and guidelines to reflect their commitments to the environment and guide project development and future operations. We understand that prescribed systems do not always reflect core values and priorities of an organization and through a collaborative process, can help these organizations achieve the goals that best represent their culture and goals.

Resilience Risk Analysis

Investment in resilience today means protection and cost avoidance in the future. We help clients and communities around the world build resilience through an extensive understanding of assets, risks and vulnerabilities.

Green Building Certification

Page has a team of sustainability specialists with deep experience in applying multiple green building certification systems to a full range of building types, including LEED, Living Building Challenge, WELL, Green Globes, BREEAM, Passive House, and a variety of nationally based systems. We have certified over 21 million square feet of building area.

Energy Code Support

Energy codes are constantly changing and evolving and we help teams navigate and understand these new requirements and plan for the future code cycles.

Building Performance Analysis

Utilizing our engineering rigor with our design thinking, we employ state-ofthe-art simulation tools to assess building performance, occupant comfort, and resource efficiencies thorugh the following building performance analysis services:

ƒ Conceptual Building Design Energy Analysis

ƒ CFD analysis to predict air flow and thermal patterns

ƒ Daylight studies

ƒ Glare analysis

ƒ Envelope studies

ƒ Whole Building Energy Analysis

ƒ Life Cycle Cost Analysis

Existing Building Analysis

By leveraging all the data we can to understand baseline building performance, we are able to detect and troubleshoot building performance issues. We evaulate various energy conserving measures that will tackle those problems and also predict savings in HVAC, lighting, envelope categories. Our modeling services help owners define impact and return on their investments in capital plans.

Life Cycle Analysis

We have performed life cycle assessments (LCA) to evaluate carbon and environmental impacts of our material choices on many of our projects. We understand the nuances of environmental product declarations (EPDs) and the complexity of environmental accounting that goes into this systems approach to building materials selection. We strive to prioritize products which have included EPDs so we can compare them where applicable to help our projects lower in embodied carbon and to advance the market transformation and literacy around embodied carbon.

Material Evaulation

We have made a commitment to work with and support manufacturers to promote material transparency and inspire them to continue searching for ways to minimize the use of known human and environmental health hazards. We integrate material discussion early in the design when energy reduction strategies and material choices can inform the design.

Specifications

We ensure the intentions for sustinable material selection is carried out with rigor through project specifications. We work with teams to include LEED and sustainability language in order implement credit compliance and improve overall sustainability material requirements.

Well-being Design Evaulation

We spend 90% of our time indoors which makes it that much more important for us to make sure our spaces are bringing out the best of us and those who are in them. We provide education on well-being design strategies, help teams identify opportunities, and support relevant third party certifications.

Research & Incentives

There are literally hundreds of different incentive programs for green buildings but most are not aware of these incentives or don’t always use them. We help unpack some of these requirements and connect a client to resources to maximize their strategic sustsainable investment.

Commissioning

Recognizing that each organization and facility has unique requirements, our commissioning team’s goal is to provide a valuable resource to help our clients discover solutions for these challenges. This commitment to quality ensures system performance is right the first time. It confirms your building operates as designed. It minimizes costly rework and assures maximum building performance.

Post Occupancy Evaluation

The Integrated Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is the process Page uses to collect valuable feedback from our clients and those who occupy the spaces we design. Its purpose is to provide opportunities to identify areas of future improvement on this project and others.

Collin College Wylie Campus

Wylie, Texas

Page was commissioned to guide the College’s vision from a strategic master plan to site development to building design to interfacing with the community of Wylie. The first buildings will provide the backbone for the campus life including the Welcome Center, Resource Center and the Student Center, with educational and faculty spaces located in each building, the site design will also facilitate student interaction and education, for an integrated learning and social environment. The building’s shape and orientation was sculptured in a way to push natural lighting further into every interior space, while maintaining a strong connection with the natural surroundings. The scale, size and design of the various outdoor spaces reinforces functional connections to the academic programming within. The architectural style is a kin to Texas Regional with an exterior palette of Carmel stone, multi tone buff brick, painted steel trellis and clear glass. Site material and plant palette builds on the Texas Regional aesthetic to blend with the larger landscape and provide a appropriate setting for the new buildings. Color is introduced into the exterior and interior details to provide visual interest, and intuitive wayfinding, between buildings within a unified style for the campus. The surrounding native landscaping is an integral part of creating the campus environment. This vision was accomplished by retaining and enhancing an existing stream and its associated vegetation, and pushing cars to the perimeter allowing pedestrian only walking paths and lawn areas which lead to a central quadrangle.

The Architecture of Buffalo Bayou Park

Houston, Texas

Buffalo Bayou Park includes the part of the bayou which meanders west along Memorial Drive from Sabine Street in downtown to Shepherd. Page is the architect for two buildings and two large pavilions in the 2.3-mile, 160-acre park which was planned and designed by landscape architecture firm, SWA. The design of the park restores the natural landscape which was adversely affected by the channelization of the bayou six decades ago and focuses on “passive” recreation and destination points, such as hike and bike trails, a dog park, event venues and food service.

The architectural elements, while small, have been designed to create landmarks and places of focus, while employing consistent architectural elements which help create a binding character for the large, rambling park. The design of each of the architectural elements in the park begins with simple concrete piers that create rhythmic, well-proportioned bays and a practical, durable structural and functional framework. Glass and wood infill panels contain conditioned space flexibly as required. The Lost Lake Building occupies a high ridge above a re-established lake. It creates a long thin volume parallel to the lake in order to capture great vistas, nestle into mature trees and lay amiably and naturally in its topography. Issues of sustainability play a strong role in all elements of the park design, including the architecture.

Issues of sustainability play a strong role in all elements of the park design, including the architecture. Resiliency was also a primary design driver as the pavilions must withstand flash floods and hurricanes. The large concrete piers for example provide thermal mass for heating and cooling but can also withstand the impact of large trees in a strong current of a raging flood.

Houston, Texas

The site of the new 130,000-square-foot Travis County District Attorney (TCDA) office building is at the intersection of three neighborhoods: downtown Austin, the Criminal Justice District and the lower-scale residences of west Austin. Consequently, the building design is shaped by its context and will help connect the three neighborhoods. The TCDA site design honors the city’s master plan by implementing the intent of Great Streets to improve public right-of-ways in the form of generous street tree plantings, benches, bike racks and sidewalk pavers along West 11th Street. All these will help pedestrianize West 11th and create a campus feel for the Criminal Justice District. A multi-level underground parking garage beneath the building serves 144 cars while providing secure ingress and egress for the DA staff.

The TCDA building takes many cues from the Travis County Courthouse building across West 11th which Page also designed in the 1930s. It incorporates the strong, regular and patterned verticality of its neighbor as well as the interruption of that pattern for exceptions such as entries and public spaces. The building entry is pulled back from the edge of the street in deference to a Heritage live oak tree along West 11th, creating a small entry plaza. The TCDA building also honors its residential neighbors to the west by adopting a color scheme of a primarily white building grounded with a green, vegetated base.

As well as being a good neighbor, the TCDA building is a good steward of energy. Since the bright Texas sun provides not only daylight but also heat and glare, the design has carefully incorporated deep vertical sunshades of frosted glass that allow maximum daylight deep into to the office spaces while cutting down glare and reducing heat gain on the glass curtain wall. The sun shades have been thoughtfully tuned for maximum performance on each façade.

200 West 6th Street (Indeed Tower)

Houston, Texas

Located in the heart of downtown Austin, 200 West 6th Street re-envisions an entire block with a new tower, a renovated historic Post Office and a plaza. The new 36-story, glazed office tower will be situated on the eastern portion of the block. Its sculptural form and transparent base allow the building to make a mark on the city’s skyline while also celebrating its historic neighbor.

The Post Office is a Texas Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was constructed from 1912 to 1914 and was the seventh US post office built in Austin. The exterior of the Post Office will be restored and historic elements of the interior will also remain and be restored. Non-historic interior elements will be renovated with the intention of delivering the space in shell condition for possible uses such as creative office or retail space.

A new plaza will occupy the northwest corner of the site and will connect the commercial environment of the office building with possible cultural, recreational and retail activities in the context of the open space. The tower is oriented north-south on the site with multiple entry points at the ground level. The primary entry and lobby are on West 6th Street; an additional entry is provided on the building’s west façade via the plaza. The base is highly transparent, soaring up to 35 feet in the main lobby to allow full visibility of the Post Office’s east façade. The transparency encourages pedestrian traffic as well as the building’s integration into the street life.

The office tower provides five levels of below-grade parking; lobby and retail space at the first level; fitness, amenity, and conference spaces on levels two and three; above-grade parking garage at levels four through 15; and office spaces on levels 16 through 36. Exterior terraces are located on eight of the office levels and the top two levels will enjoy penthouse roof terraces.

AMLI Mueller LEED platinum

Austin, Texas

This five-story, 230,000-square-foot multifamily project was envisioned as a cornerstone of the 700-acre Mueller mixed-use master plan—a live / work / play development in east-central Austin. Situated along the shores of Lake Park, featuring over 13 miles of hike and bike trails, the complex was designed as both a bold backdrop for the park and a portal to the central commercial district within the development. As such, the building is composed of a series of brightly colored volumes that vary in height and depth, lending a sense of scale and vibrancy to the park perimeter that is visible from a nearby major thoroughfare.

The Mueller neighborhood is a public-private-partnership redevelopment of the original Robert Mueller Municipal Airport which was operational from 1936 to 1999. To create a sense of place within the fabric of Mueller, both the interior and public spaces of the project celebrate movement of all kinds. The interior public spaces, which include the leasing office and amenity spaces, were inspired by the original shapely airplane hangar adjacent to the property and the remaining simple volumetric structures that now house the Austin Film Society’s studios and production facilities within the development. The result is a long, shed-like space framed by deep beams and linear wood infill.

In keeping with AMLI’s sustainability goals, the Mueller project achieved LEED Platinum certification and an AEGB star rating. Units were constructed with energy-efficient plumbing, appliances, electrical fixtures, HVAC and individual programmable thermostats. Outdoors, xeriscaping with drought-tolerant planting reduces water usage as do variable speed pool circulation systems and timers on fountains. Energy-efficient exterior lighting is also part of AMLI’s efforts to reduce the impact on the environment. Additionally, the buildings were designed so that units face primarily north and south thereby avoiding the harsh western sun. The incorporation of two internal courtyards helped to create micro-climates adjacent to courtyard units—reducing

70 Rainey Street Residential Tower

Austin, Texas

Like the city that spawned it, 70 Rainey is a dynamic blend of sophisticated elegance and laid back informality and warmth. The crisp, finely detailed 34-story residential tower is sheathed predominantly in glass curtain wall, providing each of the 164 condos with panoramic views of the Colorado River, the Austin skyline and the Hill Country beyond while also reflecting the ever-changing light and color of the big Texas sky. Generous balconies punctuate and enliven each smooth, carefully crafted facade.

As the refined residential floors of the tower merge with Rainey Street below the building revels in the quirky character of its iconic neighborhood. Upper floors provide for a variety of condo-units that range from studios to three bedrooms. The building culminates with two-story penthouses. The perfect view orientation of the upper levels, looking straight down the length of the river, twists back at the base to align with the historic street grid. This structural feat is accomplished through a stealth move that also maximizes parking in the building’s column grid.

Materials like wood, concrete and oxidized steel add a tactile dimension at pedestrian levels where porches and terraces encourage direct interaction with the street. Rich gardens on the amenity levels invite that laid-back lifestyle Austin is known for while also, along with suspended planters on the garage facades, linking the building directly the lush adjacent parkland. The building’s base responds to the dynamic street life with a variety of entries to amenity spaces including bars and restaurants that provide continuity for the culture of the street. The project is targeting LEED Silver and AEGB 4 star.

Fountain Place Residences

Dallas, Texas

With a new 45-story residential tower designed by Page, AMLI Residential will complete Pei Cobb Freed’s Fountain Place master plan. A symmetrical prism of emerald green glass, the Fountain Place office tower by Henry Cobb has adorned the Dallas skyline since 1986. The master plan called for a second identical tower on the western edge of the plaza, rotated 90 degrees from the first, but this vision was never realized. The new residential tower honors the spirit of the original plan by filling in a parking lot and embracing the Dan Kiley-designed landscape, and its proportions, massing and cladding are inspired by its sibling. Its form, however, is original and distinctive, with slices, folds and ridges that endow it with a unique identity and initiate a dialogue with the office tower.

Fountain Place Residences sits atop a nine-story parking podium whose 192’ square footprint equals that of the office tower. At the 10th story, the tower rotates 45 degrees to maximize views of Uptown and Santiago Calatrava’s Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge from the residential units. Densely planted with trees, an 18,000-square-foot roof deck at the 10th floor offers a park-like setting where residents can experience the city and the sky while entertaining or relaxing in outdoor kitchens, cabanas or greenspace. 314 typical units are arranged on the lower 28 floors. Starting at the 29th floor, the building’s geometry creates 53 unique units arranged on the top seven floors.

To create a harmonious composition across Dan Kiley’s iconic plaza, Page deferred to the master plan by repeating or carefully reinterpreting certain design elements. Because the shape of the new volume is unique, it was essential to match the original glazing precisely. The design team conducted lighting studies, sourced various samples and ultimately mocked up eight panels 80 feet off the ground within the Fountain Place office building façade. The samples remained in place for more than two months to allow the design team, client and owners of Fountain Place to observe the glass in different light conditions and agree on the closest match.

Ruby Hotel

Round Rock, Texas

Located on the banks of Brushy Creek, the Ruby Hotel revives an existing mid-century house and sets two new buildings on the creekside site. The renovated house includes a full-service cocktail bar, a conference area and ample gathering spaces that spill out onto a new deck equal to the size of the house. The outdoor spaces overlook the pool, grounds and the creek, providing a beautiful view of the Central Texas landscape and creek, nestled beneath the branches of the native live oak trees.

The two new, two story buildings contain 39 rooms, whose art and objects personalize each space and read as pieces from Ruby’s extensive collection.

Healthcare Curating Care: Design that Thinks as Big as You.

Page believes the roots of Healthcare design must always remain focused on issues of a human level. It is more than a business; it is a commitment to creating positive experiences for patients, families, visitors and staff. Health facilities must be sustainable, resilient, affordable and comforting. We elevate the design experience by creating environments that improve not only individual lives but entire communities.

Almost eight decades ago, Page embarked on a journey promoting health and wellness with the design of Brackenridge Hospital, the first public hospital in Texas. Today, as global healthcare design leaders, our passion for creating adaptive and innovative healing environments extends from community clinics to academic medical centers.

We develop customized health solutions for every project through close client collaboration. Our teams are built by matching specific expertise to your needs, combining traditional healthcare backgrounds with an enormous wealth of non-clinical specialists. This integrative approach balances the needs of our clients, their communities and the demands of ever-changing economics and new technologies.

VA Austin Outpatient Clinic

Austin, Texas

Designed “to care for those who have borne the battle,” the Austin VA Outpatient Clinic embodies the mission of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Patient-centric philosophies have been incorporated with architectural concepts that reflect the unique geological characteristics of Central Texas. The building’s exterior and public interior spaces feature horizontal bands of masonry and native leuders limestone, which allude to rock formations at nearby McKinney Falls State Park, located just two miles away. Designed to achieve LEED Silver certification, the 260,000-square-foot facility is the largest freestanding VA outpatient clinic in the U.S.

The facility’s future users, both patients and staff, helped guide the design process, and their input is manifested in several ways. Interiors are designed to enhance the care given to patients and their loved ones, as well as inspire the caregivers by providing a workplace that gives staff members a sense of pride, which in turn encourages a better quality of care. The design also maximizes energy efficiency while creating light-filled public spaces and corridors illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows that offer occupants visual connections to the outdoors. The horizontal configuration demonstrates a connection to the natural environment, which is intended to be a calming influence for users undergoing stressful situations.

Outpatient services offered at the facility include primary care, urgent care, diagnostic imaging, behavioral health, pharmacy and specialty services such as cardiology, nephrology, neurology, oncology, endoscopy, cytology, urology, minor surgery, ENT, dental, ophthalmology, audiology and a self-contained women’s clinic.

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Lakeway

Lakeway, Texas

Located within a greenfield medical and mixed-use development, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Lakeway serves as the primary acute care hospital for this community just west of Austin. The spectacular site for this 274,000-square-foot facility, which affords patients, staff and visitors exceptional views to the Central Texas landscape, also created design challenges with contours which drop over 80 feet on an 8.6-acre hillside. The building massing takes advantage of this slope by providing separate access points on different levels for the main entry, emergency center, outpatient surgery, service dock and staff entry, creating intuitive wayfinding for the facility. Each of the lower levels has access to landscaped courtyards and views to a man-made water feature that abuts the site. The project has achieved both LEED Silver certification and a 3-star rating from Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB).

Key to the building program is the ability for the facility to expand, because the Lakeway community has experienced a steady growth pattern for over a decade that is expected to continue. The facility initially includes 106 licensed beds with shell space to accommodate an additional 40 beds. The hospital has been designed to permit lateral expansion at each level as well as vertical expansion for additional inpatient beds. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center –Lakeway provides a full continuum of both inpatient and outpatient services including cardiology, obstetrics, oncology and orthopedics, as well as a full array of diagnostic and treatment services, such as an emergency department / urgent care clinic planned for up to 40,000 visits per year.

Chickasaw Nation Medical Center

Ada, Oklahoma

Chickasaw and other Native American culture and art influenced the design of this 72-bed replacement hospital located on a 230-acre rural site on tribal lands. The 358,000-square-foot medical center is strongly tied to its site, region and local culture. Patterns in basket weaving and textiles inspired fenestration and surface treatment of elevations and floors, while traditional Chickasaw colors with spiritual and cultural meaning influenced color selection throughout the building. The whole site is seen as a healing environment. There is no explicit “healing garden” but rather a whole series of landscape spaces for rejuvenation.

The medical center features a Level III emergency department, ambulatory surgery facility, diabetes care center, dental clinic, diagnostic imaging center, women’s health center, administrative offices and tribal health programs. It was designed to be more than just a healthcare facility for the Chickasaw Nation. A public space referred to as the “town center” occupies the mid-point of the building and separates hospital and clinic functions. The town center becomes a meeting place, a source of information about health services and an emblem of the Chickasaw Nation’s commitment to universal healthcare and the well-being of its people.

The building makes strategic use of glass in order to provide daylight in patient areas while at the same time orienting the bed tower north-south to minimize solar heat gain. Every patient room is given generous landscape views, uncluttered by roads, cars or other such intrusions. Larger visitor spaces in patient rooms, pleasant community rooms on the patient floors as well as the central gathering space in the town center all provide for the larger community’s participation in healthcare.

Interiors Human-centered design.

Americans, on average, spend 90% of their time indoors and significant amounts of that time in the workplace environment. Welldesigned interior spaces not only support and protect our health and well-being, but also positively influence our behavior. A space’s design reflects an organization’s culture and embodies its values. Good design communicates the company’s vision and identity while strengthening the brand and creating a sense of community and pride.

More than a collection of private offices, patient rooms, or living spaces, our indoor environments are like a neighborhood—a vibrant community of individual and shared spaces that support focused work fostering greater communication and productivity, spark creativity, and promote healing environments. The well-designed indoor environment engages colleagues across generations and enables collaborative innovation.

At Page, we design with purpose to care for the individual and enhance the live/work experience by providing thermal comfort, effective illumination, comfortable furnishings, and reduced toxicity in the materials we choose. Through rich palettes of color, texture and materials, and by careful planning to optimize views, we connect people with nature. Through strategic planning and design we align the workplace with the client’s business goals and create an inspirational and healthy work environment.

The University of Texas at Austin System Administration Building

Austin, Texas

The 19-story high rise building housing The University of Texas System (UT System) Administration Office is located in downtown Austin on state-owned land along 7th Street. It is a replacement project, maintaining the existing proximity to UT Austin and the Texas Capitol and serving as the consolidated facility for all departments that make up The University of Texas System Administration.

Page partnered with UT System to deliver a Class A building that met developer-led industry construction standards and commercial market construction costs. In concert with this effort, Page experts in workplace innovation and organization helped the client rethink the way in which discrete departments share space and to ensure that the building provided an optimized floor plate for maximum flexibility both from first occupancy and into the long-range life of the facility. The new, efficient facility is projected to save $2-$5 million annually and generate net present value savings of over $50 million in the next 30 years.

The completed structure includes approximately 365,000 gross square feet of office space along with eight levels of above-grade parking and one level of below-grade secured parking, providing 728 spaces. The building includes offices for the Chancellor and Board of Regents, a central conference facility adapted for videoconferencing, a 200-seat boardroom, a large multi-purpose presentation space, UT System office and meeting spaces, an employee wellness center, and limited retail space at the ground level. The project has achieved LEED Silver certification.

“Uga. Ut faccus rerspita parum qui cus modis aligendusam, quas sit volupta tuscius apistis sam ut qui nobit, suntinv enderuas sit.”

The headquarters for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is prominently located along the Corniche, the city’s waterfront boardwalk, ushering in a transformation of the company’s workplace. The 75-story building houses multiple Directorates in a flexible, openplan configuration for general staff and glass or wood veneer modular walls for senior managers and directors. The typical floor layout zones offices to the north side of the building taking advantage of the daylight and of the spectacular views to the sea. Conference rooms, lift lobbies and restrooms are zoned toward the south-facing façade which features a double glazed exterior skin, protecting the building occupants from harsh solar exposure.

FIRST LAST NAME

In contrast with the company’s original 1970’s headquarters composed mostly of enclosed offices, the new office design promotes more collaboration and transparency for its new generation of employees. A universal plan module integrates exclusive grids for the metal ceiling suspension system, demountable walls, lighting, HVAC, audio-visual and fire suppression devices. This modularity in design allows ADNOC to reconfigure without much disruption to operations. The offices feature high-end custom designed workstations and case goods. Through a palette of natural stone, wood veneer, and architectural metals, the interior design is a subtle blend of the traditional and the contemporary. The design created an environment that reflects the company’s vision of the future while embracing its cultural heritage. Having received LEED Gold certification, the building also promotes ADNOC’s role as a steward of the UAE’s natural resources.

Ottobock

Austin, Texas

Health is fundamental to Ottobock’s mission and the design promotes wellness with daylighting strategies and attention to energy efficiency indoor, air quality and accessibility. The entire office perimeter has windows and the few offices located on the window wall have floorto-ceiling glazed walls, allowing natural light penetration throughout the office. Barrisol panels act as interior skylights and bring a soft light and glow into the center spaces. The resultant arc of light quality is constant natural daylight.

A raised floor in all of the open office areas allows for individual control of heating and cooling. As hot air naturally rises in the space, it is efficiently cooled with a chilled beam system in the ceiling, and then naturally falls back down to the floor near the building occupants.

Indoor air quality was enhanced by only using no VOC materials and easily cleanable surfaces. All fabrics are natural materials and the two wood features, the welcome wall and the pecan table, are both made of reclaimed wood. Energy efficiency is baked into the lease, which details green building requirements 10 percent more stringent that the already strict local code. Accessibility is fundamental to Ottobock’s mission and the entire office goes beyond code to embody universal design.

Employee showers promote a culture of wellness while encouraging people to go outside and exercise on the nearby trails. The inherent flexibility of the design will accommodate Ottobock’s future growth while maintaining the high standard for efficiency and health already established.

Magnolia Montessori For All

Austin, Texas

In keeping with the spirit of Montessori education, the Magnolia Montessori For All campus is comprised of a village of fifteen residential-scaled buildings situated around landscaped courtyards and immersed in nature. The single story Administration and adjoining Headquarters buildings form the school’s main entry. The school is organized around a main circulation path which acts as a Main Street for the Village that gently ramps down throughout the campus.

Each age group has their own cluster of houses within the Village and each cluster is arranged around a dedicated outdoor space. As the children get older their dedicated courtyard spaces become more open and allow a greater degree of flexibility, freedom, and independence.

The youngest children on campus, the Infants and Toddlers, have their own specialized learning environments designed specifically to their unique scale and developmental needs. Their back porches open up to a generous tree-filled play area.

The Children’s House courtyard is designed for gross motor activity within a protective, enclosed space. A zen maze and life-sized checkerboard are nestled within the Lower Elementary courtyard space and a community garden with rainwater collection is the main focus of the Upper Elementary courtyard.

Two activity-filled play areas are tucked within the classroom clusters and take advantage of the natural character and slope of the site.

Planning Supporting sustainable communities.

Our work is underlain with a dedication to the highest environmentally sustainable approaches and a commitment to a fully integrated process where everyone has a valuable voice in the outcome. Utilizing the framework of recognized systems such as LEED, LBC, the Sustainable Site Initiative and the Envision sustainable infrastructure tool we engage stakeholders and help them translate strategic initiatives and organizational missions into realized design that meets or exceeds its environmental and social commitments. Our deep knowledge and experience help our clients to discover the priorities that best reflect the values and expectations of their constituents.

Ensuring sustainability, flexibility and resiliency are critical considerations and required outcomes in planning and design. We work with our clients to integrate these essentials into long range planning and operations, addressing the full range of topics including land use, transportation, energy, water, carbon and waste. Our approach engages institutions to aggressively promote goals such as triple net zero, carbon neutrality and sustainable operations through enhanced site and building design, multimodal access and efficient infrastructure systems. [An integrated relationship with the surrounding environment underlies our process for which we provide innovative, planning solutions that create a sense of place and speak to a community, its history and the local vernacular.]

At the heart of these efforts is a keen understanding of the role the surrounding community can have in planning outcomes. Creating attractive and livable community environments can have an enormous impact on not only facility performance and health, but social and economic sustainability, like diversity and equality. Perhaps most importantly, we are able to scale these concepts to the building level. By integrating community-driven design principles, our designers are able to explore ways that our built creations can have a positive impact on the broader community beyond those who will either live work or occupy a building.

University of California Merced Long Range Student Housing Development Plan

Merced, California

The Long Range Development Plan for the Merced campus of the University of California establishes the vision for the campus, articulating underlying ideas that have framed its siting, layout and character. The LRDP also provides a history of planning for the campus to date and sets policies and principles to guide future decisions. Located outside of the town of Merced in Merced County, planning for the new campus was a joint effort of the University of California, the County of Merced and a host of interested community, federal and state agencies and environmental groups.

Page acted as Campus Planner, developing plan visions and concepts, plan documentation and coordinating the input of a diverse team of consultants and the client group.

2020 P3 Student Housing Development is a dynamic, mixed-use expansion of approximately 790,000 assignable square feet (ASF) / 1.2 million gross square feet (GSF) of critically needed facilities to support a population of 10,000 students by the year 2020. This will roughly double the physical capacity of the campus and will provide a way for UC Merced to address existing academic and student life needs and enable enrollment growth. Our developer / design team responded with a compact, environmentally sensitive design that facilitates the University’s commitment to excellence in teaching, research and service.

This new 24/7 “live-learn” campus will be an inspiring place that enhances the university setting, encourages spontaneous interaction, enables interdisciplinary collaboration and welcomes the wider community. The effort includes 13 LEED Gold certified buildings plus infrastructure, and will be delivered in three phases.

The student housing program addresses existing and future demand for on-campus housing. It includes 289,600 ASF and 1,700 beds. The project will add 1,570 net new parking spaces.

The 2016 Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan provides for the creation of state office space and support facilities and establishes the Capitol Complex as a destination that celebrates the Texas State Capitol with civic spaces, shaded pedestrian friendly streets and connections to the surrounding community. Page led a team in the development of the master plan of the 40-block area, the most prominent element of the state’s real estate portfolio, which began with a deep analysis of the site’s history as well as thorough assessment of a range of constraints imposed by both municipal and state legislation. Three guiding design concepts emerged from this analysis: (1) a vision for a new Cultural Gateway and Texas Mall approaching the Capitol grounds from the north; (2) an attitude toward east/west streets that proposes well defined urban connectors with both strong pedestrian and vehicular roles for 11th Street, 15th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; and (3) the establishment of a Historic Precinct around a cluster of notable structures and significant landscape features that would serve as a garden district within an otherwise compact urban environment.

Given these conceptual directions, each state-owned site in the district was assessed in terms of its development potential and a strategy was outlined to relocate 1,200,000 square feet of state offices from lease spaces around Austin to the Capitol Complex. Six new office structures are proposed in three near-term phases for sites that are currently open parking lots or deteriorated parking structures. The new buildings help define the Texas Mall and the Historic Precinct with its garden district as well as creating a strong urban character for 15th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

2nd Street District Master Plan

Austin, Texas

The 2nd Street District surrounds Austin City Hall and spans six city blocks, including a quarter-mile-long portion that has become a lively pedestrian-oriented retail street. The project revels in relationships between places for work, living and relaxation and in a synergy between public and private realms. The goal of the master plan was to integrate office, residential, commercial and public spaces into a coherent ensemble where each element reinforced the others. The interests of a diverse constituency including the City of Austin, multiple real estate developers, corporate occupants and a wide range of retailers had to be synthesized into a coherent, productive solution. The master plan placed City Hall in a prominent spot on the axis of Drake Bridge and created a half-block plaza on its south side oriented to Lady Bird Lake. The two office blocks flanking City Hall, designed by Page, were kept to a six-story height to provide a compatible frame for the more central, but smaller scaled public functions.

The three blocks away from the lake accommodate taller buildings and residential functions above ground floor retail. The lively collections of shops, combined with appropriate scale and rich tactile materials, gives 2nd Street a strong, urbane character. The 18-story building on the west end includes an art cinema and recreation deck in addition to residential uses. The residential/hotel building across 2nd Street from City Hall incorporates a large performance venue. With the notable and appropriate exception of City Hall, most of the buildings emphasize the longstanding role of urban structures as ‘fabric’ and draw architectural character prominently from urban design goals.

Texas Instruments RFAB Complex

Richardson, Texas

The 1.2 million-square-foot, 300mm Texas Instruments wafer fab complex, which has achieved Gold LEED certification for two buildings, was the first wafer fab facility to receive a LEED designation. The 92.4-acre campus includes a 220,000-square-foot ISO Class 5 turbulent clean room, a 300,000-square-foot administration building, a 171,000-square-foot support wing, a 95,000-square-foot central utility plant and a 6,000-square-foot Bulk Gas Plant. Page, a design-build partner with Austin Commercial LP and Industrial Design Corporation, designed the complex of two buildings, the administration building and wafer fabrication building, with the initial goal of LEED Gold and Silver certification, respectively. After exhaustive research, design and implementation procedures by the design team, USBGC awarded both buildings LEED Gold ratings.

Innovative concepts were constantly explored, tested and re-tested to reduce, reuse and recycle building materials, natural resources and energy throughout the design, construction and occupancy phases of the project. Innovations used in the fab plant include a split temperature chiller plant, heat recovery on CDA and chillers, premium efficiency motors, reflective roof, highest efficiency fan filter units, make-up air energy recovery run-around coils, minimized pipe / duct friction and more than 90% construction waste recycling. Sustainable innovations in the administration building include natural daylighting in occupied office areas, intelligent lighting controls with photo and motion sensors in each light fixture, solar water domestic hot systems, use of recycled materials and low emission materials.

RagingWire Data Center

Austin, Texas

RagingWire is a subsidiary of an international telecommunications giant that commissioned the technologically advanced mega-scale 1,000,000-square-foot data center as part of a global project to achieve a network of comparable world-class, cost-efficient centers. The master plan included five buildings at 16 MW IT load each for a total 80MW IT load. Each data center was designed to be developed and built in phases allowing for expansion to be constructed with minimal interruption to prior phases. The first building phase includes the first 16 MW and an integrated two-story office. Each 16 MW white space consists of approximately 126,000 square feet of raised floor area subdivided into 1MW vaults within a roughly 201,000-square-foot total data center building shell.

The more public-facing office allowed the Page team to integrate not only workplace strategy but also the company’s identity into the design. The two-story, 40,000 square-foot glass and steel frame structure houses offices for both RagingWire Data Center operations and client use. Visitors enter through the vault of the secure space into the open lobby, which is a soaring space flooded with natural light from above. A cylindrical volume of yellow fritted glass clads the elevator and is the centerpiece of the room. The delicate custom light fixture hanging from the ceiling and details throughout the office space reinforce the idea of a cloud. Amenities such a community conference room, a lounge, break room, fitness center, and hotel-like rooms all represent workplace strategies expected in today’s tech industry. The design easily weaves a series of private and semi-public spaces of varying size and accessible by controlled levels of security enhancing the identity of the company and its mission. Page and RagingWire were awarded the 2018 Datacenter Dynamics Award for Data Center
