DISCIPLINES /

Left: Contemporaine Right: Sammish Library

We are architects, interior designers, urban designers, landscape architects, consultants, and branded environment experts who approach design from all scales and perspectives.

Architecture Our designs begin with you — our client’s vision is the starting point for all of our buildings. We design from the inside-out, focusing on people and experiences. We work with our clients to understand their mission, culture and aspirations.

We incorporate these insights into existing site issues, community and context in order to create inspiring places that are efficient, flexible, healthy and sustainable. Through the thoughtful blending of design, program, and place, we create buildings that respect the past, are rooted in the present, and guide us toward the future.

Interiors We recognize the importance of environment in the overall success of an organization’s culture, relationships, attitude, and bottom line. Our interdisciplinary team of

20 Perkins+Will Company Profile

talented designers draws heavily on front-end research as well as our global knowledge base to deliver solutions in support of our clients’ unique business drivers and project metrics.

26 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Corporate For more than seventy years, we have created corporate designs that have helped redefine the world’s most influential companies including Bank of America, Google, Pfizer, L’Oreal, and Unilever. We draw upon our growing body of research, benchmarking, and expertise to provide clients with cutting-edge insights and innovative solutions that position them as thought leaders in their industry. Supported by our international knowledge base, our multi-disciplinary teams address design challenges in a wide array of scales and complexity guided by our core values of client focus, design excellence, interdisciplinary approach, and global service. We recognize that a well-planned office building can help drive the overall success of an organization’s culture and business. We immerse ourselves in the client’s world in order to create compelling designs that are as responsive to their organizations as they are to individual users and their communities. Our designs reflect our client’s values and needs, while projecting and amplifying their

unique position in the marketplace.

From major corporate campuses to internationally recognized headquarters, office buildings to conference centers, our designs are dynamic and flexible.

Commercial Our designs for commercial buildings create enduring environments that change the face of our cities. Whether hotel, housing, office or retail space, our mixed-use projects become integral elements of their urban site.

At the pedestrian level, they are dynamic places for social interaction that enliven our neighborhoods. It takes a firm with broad resources and knowledge to create the magic that makes a mixed-use commercial project work. Our approach to integrated design and our ability to coordinate the many components and disciplines necessary for a complex mixed-use development project sets us apart.

With a deep understanding of commercial real estate strategies and extensive knowledge of municipal permitting processes, we design buildings and programs that work

within the urban context. Many of our commercial projects are part of broader real estate strategies.

We understand the business opportunities and risks behind our projects and are highly adept at working within the parameters of our clients’ business plans. In most urban spaces, the sites for major commercial developments are negotiated arrangements with the city for height density and use. Our design work has been successful in creating a vision and iconic expression that excites the community and civic government and helps to secure the necessary size and scale permissions to make these dynamic projects possible.

Our expertise in urban design guides us as we shape and mold projects to respond to natural circulation points within the city. Our Planning + Strategies team develops strategies that are not only efficient, dynamic, and beautiful, but also affordable and supportive of the overall real estate pro forma. The branding of a project—so integral to the success of mixed-use work—is incorporated into the initial stages of designs by

our Branded Environments team.

Our team researches, defines, and suggests strategies for branding that energize the project and integrate it with our client’s brand.

Sustainable building practices are a key component of our commercial work. Our development projects are often very close to existing transportation lines, making public transit important parts of the hiring and public-use component of the project. More frequently, our projects are often located on brownfields. Our projects clean up these sites, helping to protect our ground water recharge and prevent hazardous materials proliferation. These projects also have natural ways to save energy through reducing the embedded energy in materials that are used. Our portfolio of highly sustainable development projects are setting the direction for the world’s next generation of hotels, residences, offices, and retail spaces.

buildings must stand the test of time. As creative thinkers, we bring innovative and powerful ideas to the public realm. As designers of public buildings, we craft timeless and highly sustainable buildings that become symbols for their institutions and are part of the legacy we hand down to future generationsRanging in scope from major national museums to local libraries and small public safety facilities, these buildings represent long term commitments by communities and institutions to the present and future. Our sensitive designs celebrate the identity and needs of a community and give physical form to the important functions contained within. Our public work fuels public-private partnership, sustained investment in community, and balanced growth. In an enduring way, they serve as real-time markers of our values and our dedication to the betterment of our society and culture.

28 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Reflecting the City of Vancouver’s initiative to be the “Greenest City in the World” by 2020, the VanDusen Botanical Garden’s new Visitor Centre is one of the public faces for sustainability in Vancouver.

Perkins+Will was commissioned to create a signature, green facility that would increase the VanDusen Botanical Garden’s visitorship and enhance its international stature. Designed to be one with nature, the Visitor Centre creates a harmonious balance between architecture and landscape—from both a visual and an ecological perspective.

Inspired by the organic forms and natural systems of a native orchid, the project is organized into undulating green roof ‘petals’ that float above rammed earth and concrete walls.

These petals and stems are connected by a vegetated land ramp that links the roof to the ground plane, encouraging use by local fauna. The building houses a café, an expanded library, volunteer

facilities, a garden shop, office space and flexible classroom spaces for meetings, lectures, workshops and private functions.

Designed to exceed LEED Platinum, the Visitor Centre is pursuing the Living Building Challenge—the most stringent measurement of sustainability in the built environment. The Visitor Centre uses on-site, renewable sources—geothermal boreholes, solar photovoltaics, solar hot water tubes— to achieve net-zero energy on an annual basis. Wood is the primary building material, sequestering enough carbon to achieve carbon neutrality. Rainwater is filtered and used for the building’s greywater requirements; 100% of blackwater is treated by an on-site bioreactor and released into a new feature percolation field and garden.

Natural ventilation is assisted by a solar chimney, composed of an operable glazed oculus and an aluminum heatsink, which converts the sun’s rays to convection energy. Summer sun shines on darker surfaces to enhance ventilation further. Located in the centre of the atrium, and exactly at the centre of all the building’s various radiating geometry, the solar chimney highlights the role of sustainability by form and function.

34  Perkins+Will Company Profile

When the cutting-edge design firm IDEO needed to design their downtown loft offices, they turned to Perkins+Will.

This internationally-renowned design firm relocated from their suburban Evanston offices to the West Loop of Chicago.

Perkins+Will designed a space well-suited to the collaborative, highly unscripted, non-linear work style and culture of IDEO. Within this raw, flexible loft space, we built project rooms with operable walls, allowing individual teams to modify the space for their specific project needs. A client-facing conferencing floor is on a separate floor, ideal for confidential meetings.

Also incorporated into the space is a rooftop addition and a fully accessible, structurally independent roofdeck, perfect for outdoor project work and entertaining. For mock-ups and models necessary for their project work, IDEO also required wood, metal, electrical, and paint shops.

As a firm specializing in design, IDEO was extensively involved in the design-discover process, and this space is a direct result of that collaboration. In addition to P+W meeting the design challenges of a moveable wall solutions and a rooftop addition, this project was awarded LEED™ CI 2.0 Gold certification.

To accommodate the growing Sammamish community, the King County Library System commissioned a new 20,000 sf library that is located on the south edge of the City’s new Civic Plaza. Large expanses of glazing and active programmatic elements such as the meeting room, cyber bar, and teen area overlook the plaza. The library’s main reading room and stacks contain skylights and clerestories of translucent and clear vision glazing to create a warm and inviting space. The central reading space terminates in a great reading room that draws people to the western edge with views to the Sammamish Commons nature preserve, Olympic Peninsula, and Seattle skyline. A large fireplace with an architectural concrete finish provides an internal focus and gathering point that balances the views to the west. Wood clad elements mark a progression through the library, beginning at the entry lobby and continuing through the space to wrap the interior of the meeting room and the primary columns in the central space. The children’s area overlooks the new eastern lawn which includes a reflexology path, native plantings, and a grove of birch trees.

The site dimensions and the desire to create a long bounding edge to the City Plaza allowed the design team to investigate and implement an east to west building orientation. This orientation also allowed for the public entry, staff entry and limited surface parking to be placed between the building’s south facade and property line while maintaining open spaces on the east and west of the building.

An L-shaped building mass containing the staff, stack and children’s area program frames the south and east sides of the site. This opaque element is wrapped in a distinctive *+serrated Trespa clad rain screen panel system. It is topped with a green roof planted with a geometric pattern of native sedums—visually tying it to the horizontal landscape planes of the site. Openings in this form are minimal with two exceptions, the corner entry and the children’s area glazing with its seating window that engage the patrons to the site.

38 Perkins+Will Company Profile

The Perkins+Will-designed Oriental Fisherman’s Wharf project borders the HuangPu River in the Yangpu district of Shanghai and revitalizes a long disused industrial riverfront converting the site into a multiuse, people-friendly urban plaza, park, and retail and commercial development hub. The project is designed to connect the people of Shanghai, and the neighboring residential areas, to the previously walled-off waterfront and revitalize the existing commercial streets.

The retail and commercial buildings include a 35-story hotel and highend residential tower, a seven-story maritime themed retail destination, a smaller, four-story retail market,

as well as a renovation of an existing waterfront warehouse. Below-grade infrastructure development includes three levels of retail promenade and parking area. A large public park and urban plaza is placed atop the new three-story parking and retail plinth.

Overall, the project is a catalyst for redevelopment of this formerly industrial district. Perkins+Will provided architectural services for the Master Plan design for the extended neighborhood development, and for the Phase - 1 Parcel from concept design through design development.

The challenge of creating a space that would reflect Legatum’s qualities, required extraordinary attention to detail, tenacity of the team implementing the project and a desire to push boundaries in order to achieve a level or excellence fitting with Legatum’s approach to business.

We were inspired by the timeless geometric and angular forms, exotic materials and linear patterns typical of the Art Deco Style.

Details from the era were researched and reinterpreted and unique details applied to the Legatum space.

Art Deco was chosen because it represents a refined style, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

Space planning included the public entry lobby on Level 2, client reception and meeting suites with a specialist academy room and library on Level 3. The business café strategically positioned on level 4, central to the space, is known as Camelot café. This space serves as the collaboration hub for the trading and work areas.

Perkins+Will designed the Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children’s Center at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, comprised of the Cardiovascular & Critical Care Tower (CCCT) and the Children’s & Maternal Hospital (CMH). The new CCCT includes 500 beds, 20 operating rooms, 24 conventional laboratories, 16 endoscopy/bronchoscopy rooms, radiology services, an adult emergency department and associated support spaces. The CCCT and CMH buildings were designed concurrently and were constructed as a single project.

As design architect, Perkins+Will provided design and healthcare planning vision and implementation that embodies the Hospital’s design and operational goals.

The New Clinical Building is critical to the continued success of Johns Hopkins Medicine in “…producing tomorrow’s doctors and tomorrow’s

cures while delivering the best and most compassionate care” to the community of East Baltimore and to patients from around the world. The interior color palette was inspired by natural materials to create a cohesive campus through neutrals; accents by scheme create variety and define focal points. Patient spaces feature affordable materials that are easy to maintain, with rich colors that provide a consistent level of design between the public, patient care and staff spaces. Consideration to the patient experience manifests through indirectly lit corridors ando minimized noise transmission.

The OHSU campus is located on a hilltop with several ridges and complex topography; it is a truly three-dimensional campus with the “main street” of the hospital at the 9th floor level. The new facility serves as a circulation link between the existing hospital, the existing School of Medicine and research buildings, future expansion of the hospital, and the aerial tram from downtown Portland. The new Peter O. Kohler Pavilion is a significant building for the campus and is visible from downtown and across the river.

The facility consists of 11 floors housing 335,000 SF and contains 26 ICU beds, 60 medical/surgical beds, eight ORs, radiation therapy, the Center for Women’s Health clinic, an imaging center and ancillary support services. In addition, a 456-space

parking structure and an elevated roadway are included in the project.

A key feature of the new building is a terrace-level series of healing and meditative gardens.

Perkins+Will completed a threemonth pre-design study in December 2001 that included site planning, volume projections, functional space programming, and space planning/ test fits to define the scope and cost of the project. Schematic design began in March 2002 and construction was completed in 2006.

86 Perkins+Will Company Profile

St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center has grown significantly over the last half century, resulting in a sprawling campus with long travel distances, operating inefficiencies, poor way-finding, and multiple locations for diagnostic/therapeutic services. The first project identified in the master plan was a new, centrally located building to consolidate and expand Neurological and Emergency Services.

Neuroscience Tower /

To address this need, the design of the new Neuroscience Tower at St. Joseph’s was based upon the following planning objectives: • Consolidate neuroscience/ surgical services • Provide additional ICU capacity • Create more efficient nursing units • Provide for growth/expansion in Trauma/ED services • Create capacity for growth in other key product lines

Consolidation of all inpatient neurological services into the Neuroscience Tower improves physician and resident productivity and provides a family- and patientfocused neuro center.

The design concept clarified and simplified the way-finding and circulation for patients, families, visitors and staff while enhancing the image of St. Joseph’s to the community.

The Neuroscience Tower addition was constructed while the hospital was fully operational. The project included renovations to the existing Pharmacy, Sterile Processing Department, General Surgery Suite, Clinical Laboratory, Central Plant, Main Admitting and Lobby. The work was phased to ensure these functions remained fully operational and uninterrupted during construction.

Presentations of the project were made to local community councils in a public setting to obtain input.

Due to this collaborative process, the project was fully supported by the public and unanimously approved by the commission. As a result, the expanded services include 64 Intensive Care beds, 80 Acute beds, 11 Neuro operating rooms including a 3T interoperative MRI, 44 PACU beds, 24 Pre-op beds, and two diagnostic MRIs.

Tomorrow’s sustainable campus will generate more power than it consumes, harvest more water than it uses, and become inseparably connected with local ecosystems.

Innovative learning environments have been the cornerstone of our practice since the firm was founded in 1935.

Our first academic project — The Crow Island School, now a National Historic Landmark — redefined educational design and became the model for an entire generation of buildings. We remain leaders in this field, continually informed by the myriad influences that are shaping it.

During the past 20 years, we have worked with more than 250 colleges and universities across the country and the globe. Our practice emphasizes collaboration, with Centers of Excellence that enable our designers to readily share best practices, future trend observations, and design solutions for the benefit of projects going forward. These include almost every aspect of higher

education design, from campus and academic planning to student life facilities, and the complex detailing of science and research buildings. Our clients range from community colleges and liberal arts institutions to research universities and medical schools.

Our design process is a partnership.

We work with our clients to develop visionary planning that will withstand the test of time, and to create distinctive buildings and environments that are grounded in the mission and culture of each institution.

Campus + Facilities Planning Campus and facilities planning is about revealing a sense of purpose and place. Strategic, Academic, and Capital Plans are the drivers for our work. In meeting our clients’ missions, we integrate sustainability into strategies for education, operations, and administration. We translate data-driven needs into compelling graphics, implementable guidelines, and tracking tools. We evaluate programmatic demands against campus heritage, context and capacity, and position our clients with plans that embrace change, improve recruitment and retention, attract funding, and save resources.

Our Academic and Student Life Facilities Planning is grounded in the Carnegie Classification and specific characteristics of each post-secondary institution. We envision spaces that support studentcentered learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community.

Our sustainability planning interconnects buildings, open space, and infrastructure systems for stewardship and learning.

96 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Specialized Learning Environments Today, learning happens everywhere: in and out of the classroom, on and off campus, in formal and informal settings. Academic institutions are creating educational cultures that are increasingly interdependent, multidimensional, global, distributed, social, experiential, and interactive.

Our planning and design strategies support this fluid environment where pedagogy, technology and new ideas are continually evolving and blurring traditional boundaries. Flexible and adaptable environments must support the dynamic nature of education; spaces must foster collaboration, serendipitous encounters and “productive collisions.”

Business Schools We understand the business of business schools. Seeking relevance in 21st century business and society, schools must embrace technology, anticipate constant change as institutions re-organize curriculum, establish community and global alliances, and develop multidisciplinary programs.

As strategic partners we support our clients’ missions and goals while anticipating changes in technology, pedagogy, demography, and the environment. A well-planned school can support and enhance innovative learning opportunities across multiple undergraduate, graduate and executive programs. It can enable new initiatives, outreach, and research activities. Our strategic planning and design methodology is focused on our clients’ goals. We are skilled in analyzing and balancing the myriad of program needs, and the critical core issues facing successful business education: brand identity, social responsibility, sustainability, ethics, and community.

Student Life Student life facilities are the heart of an academic community. They must be welcoming for many and a refuge for one; accommodate the diversity of a small city but offer the familiarity of home.

In a world where communicating around the globe seems easier than communicating across the hallway, student life facilities — student centers, residence halls and informal learning environments — fulfill a vital need to create engagement with both people and place. When the right mix of programs, at the right place on campus come together in a signature building that symbolizes the values and vision of an institution, the results can be magical.

Academic Science Students and faculty are drawn to institutions where cutting-edge science is practiced. Buildings that support the academic sciences must live up to their promise by creating environments that encourage dynamic, interactive team-based learning, and cross-disciplinary spaces that foster collaboration and innovation.

We work with faculty and students to understand the factors that drive exceptional teaching and research and integrate them into the built environment. Our buildings for the academic sciences inspire engaged learning and help their institutions to attract and retain world-class faculty, researchers and students.

Health Sciences Education Changes in the practice of healthcare — emphasis on patientcentered care, interdisciplinary teams, new visualization tools, and evidence-based practice — are having a significant impact on the education and training of physicians, dentists, nurses and allied health professionals. Insights gained from our extensive experience and expertise in healthcare, science, and education across the country are brought to bear on each project, resulting in an integrated and informed approach that bridges academia and professional practice.

The master plan organizes a series of pedestrian-scaled quadrangles along a spine that will also allow the phased construction of the utility loops. With each quadrangle housing academic classroom buildings, student residences, campus life center and the central administration building, the central spine will eventually connect a museum/memorial at the campus entrance with an arboretum adjacent to athletic fields and student recreation center. Final phases of the campus development will include a conference, hotel, retail center along

the Sulamani highway and a research/ technology park adjacent to the airport to the south.

Patterning the curriculum after a traditional American Liberal Arts college, the motto of AUI-S is to “Learn, Lead, Build.� The AUI-S goal is to establish a learning environment based upon free market principles, freedom of academic thought and a democratic way of life. The University desires to develop the next generation of community leaders to build a new future and Perkins+Will is providing the master plan for that future.

Sabah Al-Salem University – Kuwait University City College of Education

LOCATION Shidadiyah, Kuwait completion date 2014 Construction Cost $199 million size 640,000 square feet (330,000 square feet learning, 310,000 square feet office) leed ® NC Gold (targeting) Awards 2012, AIA NYC Design Award, Merit Award for Unbuilt category 2010, World Architecture Festival, Future Projects Award for Education category 2010, World Architecture Festival, Finalist for Future Projects of the Year 2010, World Architecture News, Education Sector Award for Unbuilt category

104 Perkins+Will Company Profile

The University’s goals for the 640,000 square feet Sabah Al-Salem University City, College of Education project included the creation of a strong, individual identity for the College within the multi-college master plan; a student-centered learning environment that would foster a community of learning; and a highly sustainable design with daylight to all classrooms, offices and main circulation spaces. Kuwait’s large swings in temperature (from 40ºF to 140ºF) and relative humidity (from 5 to 85%) challenged the design team to find innoative ways to balance community and comfort with low energy use and sustainability.

The design solution creates two fivestory rectangular buildings containing modular, repetitive ‘a priori’ learning spaces that are juxtaposed against

a free-form, undulating ‘boardwalk’ enclosing a variety of ‘a posteriori’ learning support spaces (e.g. lounges; group study niches; computer stations) that is carved through the length and height of the structures, connecting all floors and functions.

The interplay of solid and void between the mass of the buildings and the meandering of The Boardwalk define the architectural identity of the College, and the belief that classroom-based learning must, in the 21st Century, be complemented by an equally vital learning support environment in which learning continues beyond the classroom.

Accessed from The Boardwalk, a series of large internal garden courtyards — “Oases” — function as major amenity nodes (cafeteria, library, lobby, and audtorium) for

College of Education /

the college, filled with daylight and sheathed in greenery, all highly visible from the learning spaces that surround and overlook them.

The building’s self-shading skin has been calibrated to its specific solar exposure in order to maximize daylight penetration but minimize both solar heat gain and glare. The addition of a ground glass diffusing fin at each window captures and disperses daylight deep into each learning space, while contributing to solar protection. Inspired by traditional regional patterned screens whose twin functions were to shade the interior while providing screened views outward, the College of Education’s richly three-dimensional enclosure uses computer technology to maximize protected views from

within the building while minimizing the sun’s adverse effects on the building’s energy performance.

The project is expected to earn a LEED-NC Gold rating when complete in 2014.

LOCATION Shidadiyah, Kuwait completion date 2014 Construction Cost $210 million size 1,200,000 square feet leed ® NC Gold (targeting) Awards 2010 AIA NY State Award of Excellence

With temperatures ranging from 40ºF to 140ºF and prevalent sandstorms, the Kuwait climate served as a primary driver for the design for the two College of Arts buildings. The design concept looked to the diwaniya tent, a traditional gathering place and desert shelter, for ideas of passive sustainability. The tent’s social function, materiality, form, and environmental performance are sophisticated responses to the specific environmental and cultural conditions of the region; it is an appropriate metaphor for the spirit and function of a college of liberal arts, a place of gathering to exchange ideas.

The 640,000-square foot College includes classrooms, training spaces, administrative areas, a TV studio, black box theaters, dining areas, a student gallery space, and libraries.

108 Perkins+Will Company Profile

The major corridors connecting the courtyards created by the “tents” with instructional spaces have been designed with program incorporated into them for informal learning experiences such as touchdown spaces, lounges, and small meeting areas.

Interior spaces are successively climate controlled, first naturally with shade and evapo-transpiration in the entry sequence and informal gathering spaces, then moving gradually to fully conditioned in the building’s core classrooms and offices. The tent gardens, with openings at the roof to admit controlled daylight, function as both vertical circulation and gathering spaces, where students, teachers, and staff can collect and interact.

The first layer of the building’s exterior emulates woven tent fabric with limestone “threads”; the second

College of Arts /

interior thermal vision layer allows views outside between the threads.

The dimensions of the “threads” vary in depth and spacing in relation to sun angle and orientation. The mass of the building is lifted off the ground, with a planted buffer zone around the entire perimeter, punctuated by a series of naturally ventilated “tent gardens” that extend the full height of the structure. This outdoor buffered area is partially tempered by exhaust air that flows through convection up into the “tent” areas and out roof openings; this will keep it cool enough for habitable use for all but the hottest days of the year.

Local materials, environment, and culture expressed in manner that is faithful to the region and needs of the project.

The Diplomatic Quarter Hotel offers a unique opportunity to create a structure that encapsulates the rich heritage of the region, local materials, environment, and culture in a modern expression.

The design takes cues for a variety of local influences, from environment to culture to materials. The project is structured in the geological languages of the region. It is planned in a manner ties it to the layout of the city of Riyadh. Just as the city is nourished by the wadi, the heart of

116 Perkins+Will Company Profile

the development is structured like an oasis to evoke the natural landscape.

The exterior is composed of layered strata that reflect the geology of the region and cue traditional methods while offering opportunities for solar control and privacy. These “ribbons” of shifting hues evoke the local landscape in a palette of stucco, timber and stainless steel. The two elements create a micro-climate of shaded space that gives guests the ability to enjoy outdoor dining and recreational activities.

The interior design takes advantage of the light and layered exterior by creating internal spaces that take advantage of the light reflected from the banded façade. The interior spaces maximized natural light using filtered sunlight and create open, grand spaces.

Diplomatic Quarter Hotel /

The interior design derives its inspiration from the local environment as well. Each space draws from an environmental or geological motif.

A guest’s journey through each space is structured as a journey through the local landscape. The reception acts a welcoming oasis and helps orient guests through the harmonious use of natural elements. From there individuals move through the corridor.

Like the winding wadis of the region guests follow a path to their room that evokes the carved canyons of the local landscape through textures and pools of mosaic jewels. A guest’s journey culminates in their arrival to their suite. The luxurious and understated bedrooms with accents of semi-precious stones recall the caverns that dot the region. Just as hermits, prophets, philosophers sought these places for solitude,

reflection and enlightenment. These rooms offer guests a private, personal space to rest and reflect.

There are also two additional spaces: the coffee lounge and business hub.

The coffee lounge uses tone on tone and a desert rose motif to capture the beauty of nature’s art in the coffee lounge experience. The business hub provides a professional meeting space with state of the art A/V and TP technologies to facilitate guest needs.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers approached Perkins+Will to refurbish their lounge and suites to reflect the theme of each space.

A varied color, pattern, and materials palette was used to achieve the desired affect in the various rooms.

The Royal Suite was designed to provide guest with a royal, Arabian experience. Beautiful materials like dark wenge wood, gold leaf, and hand tufted carpets were combined with traditional elements, like mashrabiyah paneling to evoke a royal experience.

Versace branding cues, like colors, patterns, and materials, were used in the Versace Suite to tie the room to the brand identity. The subsequent effect yields not just a room, but a physical manifestation of the brand.

The gold accents, color scheme and use of Versace’s pattern palette, create a luxurious experience.

The King Louis Suite evokes the reign of le Roi-Soleil through the use of floral patterns, which reflect the fleur-de-lis, and period elements,

The Scandinavian Suite was refurbished in a palette that pays tribute to Scandinavia while addressing regional challenges. The materials, colors, and palette were executed to reflect Scandinavia, but the interior was designed in such a was as to manage the sun exposure within the space. The subsequent space balances the minimalism and palette of one region with the practical considerations of another.

The final element of the refurbishment was the conversion of the food and beverage spaces into lounges that reflected the aesthetic of the hotel and spaces for relaxation and congregation.

In 2005, Perkins+Will completed the master plan for the 15-acre mixeduse Dockside Green development, which includes live/work, hotel, retail, office and light industrial uses, as well as numerous public amenities.

With a LEED Platinum community in the world. In 2008 Dockside Green Residential Phase I or “Synergy“ was completed and reached LEED ® Platinum at 63 points, making it the highest-scoring LEED ® Platinum Certified project in the world.

Synergy includes four detached buildings constructed over a common underground parking structure, including a nine-story residential tower with commercial units at grade, a two-story townhouse, a six-story condo building with commercial units at grade, and a four-story residential building.

Dockside Green employs an integrated energy system that includes a biomass gasification plat that converts locally-sourced

wood waste into a clean burning gas to produce heat and hot water.

The biomass gasification system, along with selling the extra biomass heat to a neighboring hotel. Has rendered the project carbon neutral on a net annual basis without the purchase of green power certificates.

The development’s many other sustainable features include: onsite wastewater treatment that will save more than 200 million liters of water annually (Synergy alone is calculated more than 8 million liters of water annually), rooftop gardens, a car co-op with SmartCar, and an additional energy-saving features including: Energy Star appliances, heat recovery ventilation units, Low E-double glazed windows, and exterior blinds on the west and south faces of each building. A series of ponds spread throughout Dockside’s central greenway also assist in onsite stormwater storage while the greenway itself provides significant public amenity space.

Sprout Space implements sustainable and cost-conscious strategies to create a learning environment that promotes both occupant productivity and health.

Sprout Space classrooms are built in a factory and delivered directly to the site. Constructing the building in a controlled environment provides numerous advantages over on-site construction. Some of these advantages include, reduced cost, reduced construction time, decreased disruption, less construction waste, a longer building life-cycle and the elimination of mold growth.

TIME SAVINGS - 4X FASTER Because Sprout Space is pre-designed, we are able to begin and complete the building process faster. Fabrication occurs concurrently with the foundation and site work, which drastically reduces the overall construction schedule.

DECREASED DISRUPTION Most of the major components and modules for each building are fabricated in an environmentally controlled environment. This greatly reduces the time required on site as well as interruption to surrounding businesses and residences.

COST SAVINGS The compressed building schedule and efficiencies allowed by modular construction make it both faster and less expensive than traditional construction methods.

We have partnered with Triumph Modular to offer Sprout Space.

Sprout Space is available nationwide.

Perkins+Will designed the Center for Urban Waters, envisioned by the City of Tacoma to be a beacon on the water; an icon that can be seen from the downtown core; and an example of using building and site sustainable strategies for all future projects in the City. The 51,000 sf, threestory building functions as a shared research facility for City of Tacoma and University of Washington Tacoma to receive and analyze water samples from the waterways of Tacoma and surrounding areas. The building program is comprised of laboratories, offices, conference rooms, a lunch room, an exhibit center, a customer service center at the lobby entrance, and related building services including a loading dock and mooring facility on the Thea Foss Waterway. The building is sited to optimize views across the waterway, to maximize public open space, and to provide access to the shoreline and to on-site parking.

The building received LEED Platinum certification. Sustainability strategies include natural ventilation of the office environments, sun-shading of the south and west facades, vegetated roofs, storm water collection, and water reuse. Materials selected for the building’s interior and exterior were selected based on quantity of recycled content, where the product was manufactured, amount of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the product, and whether the product was certified (as in the case of wood products). Responsible waste management before and during construction was also a factor in achieving this certification.

Perkins+Will worked closely with the University of Washington School of Medicine to master plan, program and design a new off-campus research complex to meet their expansion needs that were not available on campus. A two-block site was selected in Seattle’s South Lake Union (SLU) neighborhood, an area which has transformed into a hub for biotech research.

The masterplan for the new complex was developed to facilitate the School of Medicine’s goals of fostering communication, interaction and education between the principle investigators, researchers and faculty to create a top notch facility that also has a strong connection to the neighborhood. This multi-phase project, when completed, will be comprised of 7 buildings that total over 1.2 million gross square feet of BSL2 and BSL3 research, vivarium, conference, seminar, office and amenity space.

Phase 1 of the masterplan involved the renovation of a 1961 office building into over 100,000 square feet of office, research, vivarium and auditorium space.

Phase 2 was a 440,000 square foot expansion for the School of Medicine that consisted of 2 lab buildings and 1 new administration building. The administration building incorporates amenity spaces including a ground floor educational conference center with a 150 person auditorium, 100 person seminar room, conference rooms and café that serve as a center of activity for the School of Medicine.

The upper floors contain administrative office and conference spaces and an executive board room and meeting center. The lab buildings were planned and designed to maximize views within the lab space and to the outdoors while providing thoughtful common spaces for interaction and collaboration. The lab suites are

designed to be flexible for chemistry, biomedical wet bench, highly instrumented lab, computational lab, BSL3 and vivarium spaces.

Phase 3.1 continued the master plan on the block adjacent to Phase 1/2 and provides 317,000 square feet of research space with advanced medical equipment, arming researchers with the tools necessary to address critical health issues. Areas of research include Immunology, Rheumatology, Kidney Research, Emerging and Reemerging Infection Diseases and Vision Sciences. The planning remains consistent with the previously established design goals to maximize views and encourage collaboration all with an extremely efficient plan. The use of chilled beams, which were also employed on Phase 2, along with high-efficiency boilers, heat recovery chillers, exhaust air energy recovery, a rainwater cistern and lighting controls helped to achieve a LEED ® Gold rating.

Future design and construction of the remaining two buildings in the master plan will complete the School of Medicine’s vision as a top notch research complex.

LOCATION Oklahoma City, Oklahoma completion date 2011 Construction Cost $63 million size 187,000 square feet leed Gold Awards 2011, Design Award, AIA-Georgia 2008 Associated Builders and Contractors Award, Infrastructure Category

176 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation’s new Research Tower is an investigative research entity rather than a traditional patient care facility. The research is done mostly at the molecular level in a BSL-2 lab and/or animal care environment. The research encompasses Alzheimer’s, lupus, cancer, cardiovascular disease among others.

The forward-looking exterior image represents the future for OMRF as well as the state of Oklahoma. The overall building image featuring wind turbines and an iconic, progressive exterior has inspired the city and the research community. Within the building, the floor plan solution is derived from a highly efficient “pin wheel” concept where collaboration space is naturally created in the center of the building and the laboratories are exposed to natural light and views to the outside. The

upper floors house the core labs, while the lower floors contain an imaging suite, vivarium, mechanical space and a clinic. The main level includes support amenities to serve the entire campus, including a large exhibition/gallery/assembly space and outdoor seating areas highlighting gardens and water features.

The core labs are conceived as highly flexible spaces that can be reconfigured in many ways to support all research at OMRF. To achieve a free floor space, all utilities and services are available from the ceiling and/or wall. Structural columns are furred out as “wet columns” that also provide utilities, water and drains to maintain a modular approach.

Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation New Research Tower /

The design was conceived from the desire to create the most sustainable and energy efficient building. The majority of the building skin consists of high performance glazed curtain wall and precast concrete panels.

Sunshade devices reduce solar heat gain on the south facade. Highly efficient chilled beams are used for the mechanical system. Wind turbines integrated into the architecture of the building as precast and cast in place concrete “shrouds” extending over the roof, provide an alternative energy source. Storm water run-off is retained by an on-site, below grade cistern placed downstream from a “rain garden,” and by a partial green roof. Air conditioning condensation is recycled for use in the first floor terrace water feature. Drought resistant planting is used throughout the site. Sustainable interior materials include FSC Certified wood, high recycled content ceiling tile, and linoleum composition floor tiles made from rapidly renewable materials containing no PVC, which eliminates the need for waxing. Energy efficient lighting fixtures are controlled by motion sensors and light meters.

The interior feel of the building evokes one of sophistication in the public spaces, acknowledging the importance of a professional look conducive to a research environment. The interior design supports and nurtures innovative thinking by providing carefully crafted spaces and engaging the senses with color, texture and contrast in subtle ways. A neutral base color concept is used throughout the facility supported by “highlights” and “accents” (different colors associated with the different floors) to assist in way-finding.

have established six major design objectives: passenger comfort and a high-quality experience will be achieved through features that include fully shaded, air-conditioned platforms, clear views and extensive landscaping; clear, open platforms, high-quality lighting and system-wide alarm and surveillance technology will ensure patrons’ safety and security; smooth flowing access points, clearly organized wayfinding and high-security quality signage will increase public accessibility; the demonstration of public values will be achieved through the use of sustainable technologies and strategies, including photovoltaic panels that will potentially be the largest PV installation in the region; individual station design will encourage a sense of community ownership, as well as improving wayfinding and ensuring that sustainable design elements are customized to their environment; and kiosk pads and bridge and tunnel structures will allow for future transitoriented developments.

Riyadh Development Authority Comprehensive Development Plan for the Olayya-Batha Corridor Urban Planning and Transportation Study LOCATION Riyadh, Saudi Arabia completion date April 2008 Construction Cost Unknown size 35 km (Corridor Length)

Perkins+Will’s development plan for one of Riyadh’s central transport routes is designed to reduce congestion, introduce mass transit and create a vibrant and high-density city boulevard.

The Riyadh Development Authority selected Perkins+Will, with Dornier Consulting and Omrania & Associates, to prepare a Comprehensive Development Plan for transit-oriented development along the Olayya-Batha Corridor, one of Riyadh’s busiest traffic arteries. The corridor is currently oriented towards single vehicle traffic, and significant congestion and a lack of street-level development have made pedestrian activity along the corridor virtually non-existent.

Riyadh’s population is set to double over the next 15 years, and in anticipation of this, the Development Authority has identified locations for five major metropolitan subcentres in order to establish concentrated nodes of development, services and employment. The Olayya-Batha corridor connects the northern and the southern metropolitan sub-centres to the central area, and as a result, will serve as a development spine to accommodate higher density residential areas and more intensive and attractive commercial activities.

204 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Existing congestion issues, future population growth and the corridor’s status as a vital spine for the city have inspired the Development Authority to redevelop the route as a high-density, bustling and vibrant city boulevard. The Comprehensive Development Plan creates a new concept for the transport corridor, incorporating pedestrian facilities, traffic management systems and a mass transit line between Olayya and Batha, eliminating the adverse effects of motorised transport within the corridor and throughout the city.

In addition, a general zoning plan and an urban concept for the study area address the changing nature of the corridor as the city’s main transportation and commercial spine.

In 2004, Perkins+Will led the design of innovative prototype stations that will be utilized on the new transit line.

NYU’s Stern School of Business, located on a dense urban site at Washington Square Park on the edge of the Greenwich Village Historic District, retained Perkins+Will to renovate and link all undergraduate instructional space in the two basement levels of its three buildings. By reconfiguring lobbies and entry sequences to emphasize connectedness and transparency, NYU reinvented the image the school presents to the City and broader business community.

The heart of the project is an expanded entry and lobby made clearly visible from the plaza and street, and a new central three-story atrium that carries light and energy from the plaza level down to the two concourses below. The installation of walkable skylights and vertical

penetrations also brings natural light into the main corridors of both lower levels, tying them together into a single, daylit space. In order to accomplish these modifications to the exterior, presentations were made to the business school, the university, the community, trustees and donors.

The final design transforms an existing rabbit warren of vintage 1970’s classrooms into a state-ofthe-art instructional center. The new classrooms are linked to one another by inviting light-filled corridors, which are in turn punctuated by casual lounge and gathering spaces.

These touch-down areas promote interactions between students and faculty that serve to create an academic community. The school has transitioned from a place that students entered for instruction and

Leonard N. Stern School of Business /

left quickly without lingering to a destination: a place in which they want to meet and congregate.

Working within an existing urban fabric presents unique challenges.

Various zoning issues were addressed related to floor area complicated by the fact that the project is located on a “super block”. Modifications were made to the design in response to negotiations with the community with regard to how much exterior construction would be permitted.

The project was completed in several phases tied in to the school calendar, as all of the lobbies had to remain operational and only half of the classrooms could be taken out of commission at a time. Finally, the concourses lie adjacent to NYU’s central co-generation plant and in between it and a good portion of the NYU campus. High pressure

steam lines, data cables, electrical conduit, and other infrastructure feeding those other buildings had to be relocated in order to construct vertical penetrations and higher ceiling planes.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the NYU Stern Concourse renovation project is tracking LEED CI-Silver certification. The result will be the transformation of some of the least desirable spaces at NYU into some of the most exciting and memorable.

The character and texture of the landscape profoundly influences both built structures and quality of life.

Our Landscape Architecture studio is made up of an inspired team of landscape architects, planners, and transportation experts—most with multi-disciplinary backgrounds, all with a passion for creating vibrant, sustainable places. Together, these experts offer a balanced perspective on what makes a site unique and how to draw out its sense of place.

Our collaborative studio brings multiple disciplines together to offer a well-rounded approach to placemaking, from concept to completion.

This synthesis is evident in our work as lead designer and manager of the Atlanta BeltLine Corridor Design, a 22-mile linear park built on a loop of reclaimed railroad tracks. This groundbreaking public infrastructure effort repurposes underused assets to create vibrant, connected public spaces that catalyze economic growth and boost quality of life.

236  Perkins+Will Company Profile

By aligning the unique elements of diverse cultures and ecologies, our practice sets the stage for active public life. The Puerto Rico Capitol District Master Plan placed our landscape architects on the forefront of city-making with a rare and historic opportunity to restore the grandeur of a national landmark. At Innovation Square, an award-winning urban redevelopment project in Gainesville, Florida, our team transformed 12 underused blocks near the University of Florida into a walkable urban research district. These thriving districts are driven by an open space strategy that connects the community while addressing circulation, growth and ecological issues.

Left: 1315 Peachtree Street; Right: Atlanta BeltLine

Praised as “intriguing and accessible” and “not only aspirational, but implementable,” our award-winning projects advance the standards for design excellence beyond the building. Our site design for Willson Hospice in Albany, Georgia, elevates the role of landscape architecture from background amenity to a key part of the healing environment. For its care in establishing sustainable resource management, the hospice was designated a Certified Silver Audubon International Signature Sanctuary, the only healthcare facility ever to achieve this award.

Critical to our approach is building a strong relationship with our clients.

The most successful projects are fostered by open communication and creative ideas from both sides of the table. For example, our transformational work at the College of Coastal Georgia is the result of a long-term collaboration with the client to re-envision this campus as an expression of the institution’s values. Not only were we able to build a strong framework for growth and reestablish the site as the heart of the campus community, our site design gives an identity to the college by highlighting the distinct character of the coastal landscape.

Whether as team lead or embedded partner, we design and implement a clearly constructed, modern design expression that works with the specific demands of each site.

By incorporating multiple expert perspectives right from the beginning, our team produces imaginative, but practical solutions saving the client time and money in the process.

The results can be seen in artfully crafted, distinctive spaces that serve a larger purpose by connecting people, culture and the natural world.

from the highways connects to the residential areas by a lively mixed-use spine. The required civic, commercial and residential uses that make up an active, viable planned community are distributed throughout the city.

The signature of the new town is a central ‘green lung’ (+/- 1,000 hectares) made up of two 18-hole golf courses, a large programrich central park and other active/ passive recreational parks and green spaces. The parks provide amenities for a modern city while honoring the history of the place and its ancient orange groves. Setting off the developed parks are two large natural greenbelts which divide the city into six distinct districts. Each district has been designed with its own identity, and contains four to six neighborhoods. Civic and community centers provide a heart for each.

LOCATION Beijing, China Project Size 321 acres (130 hectares) Completion 2010

A site plan which balances efficiency and effect in a world class manufacturing center.

For their Beijing campus, Sany Heavy Industry Company chose Perkins+Will to design a soaring manufacturing center that embodies innovation and symbolizes progressive industry.

The master plan features a canal which flows from east to west, forming the center of the office complex and separating the north and south manufacturing divisions.

By tightly organizing workshops at the edges of the site, the plan retains ample space around the canal and creates a park-like atmosphere.

250  Perkins+Will Company Profile

Beyond it’s aesthetic function, the canal also serves to channel abundant stormwater after it is filtered by wetlands. Other sustainable site strategies include orienting buildings for natural daylighting and minimal solar heat gain, and a focus on native plantings throughout the site.

The result is a plan that protects the environment, preserves structured and unstructured space for people, and promotes a brand image.

UNITED NATIONS headquarters INTEGRATED SERVICES

LOCATION New York, New York completion date 2014 size 3,500,000 square feet

Overview In the late 1990s, the United Nations developed a master plan for its iconic New York City complex that outlined a series of infrastructure upgrades, including structural, mechanical, electrical, and technology for the entire site. As an integral part of the implementation of this master plan, Perkins+Will has worked closely with the United Nations Capital Master Plan Unit and its consultants to develop a comprehensive functional program for the site. Our relationship with the UN has broadened to provide a continuity of services that includes Swing Space Planning, Infrastructure Planning & Quality Control, Transition Planning, Move Facilitation services, and full Interior Design, including construction documentation and construction administration.

Functional Programming Perkins+Will developed a structured approach to gathering the

256  Perkins+Will Company Profile

programmatic needs of over 80 distinct user groups that occupy spaces within the 3.5 millionsquare-foot United Nations New York area portfolio. This process yielded valuable insight into the daily operations of the various groups and provided a clear cross-reference and balance between the needs of a group and the overall demand for the renovation. The approach also provided an auditable information trail, an important contribution to planning when a project extends across many years.

Swing Space Planning Perkins+Will used the user group functional information to develop a swing space programme and multiphase plan that has successfully relocated over six thousand UN staff members to UN-owned and leased properties throughout midtown Manhattan and Long Island City. Of particular concern was the need to

UNITED NATIONS headquarters /

maintain operational efficiency while UN staff was being distributed across multiple locations.

Interior Design Services Perkins+Will provided full interior design services for over 700,000 square feet of space at the headquarters. The scope of these services included offices and conference facilities, mission critical functions, and a myriad of support spaces, including shops, storage facilities, and technical spaces.

Infrastructure Planning & Quality Control We worked closely with the UN user groups, construction managers and contractors to ensure that the final fit-out of the swing spaces met user requirements that can range from simple office suites to television studios and Crisis Centers that are activated during crisis.

Transition Planning & Move Facilitation We continue to work closely with the United Nations Capital Master Plan to develop targeted communications that help facilitate the transformation of an organization that has not seen a major renovation in most of its 59-year history. Clear, consistent, communication and a structured relocation process is critical to managing the expectations of a diverse client base and to enable the United Nations to continue its mission during a period of transition.

Our involvement with the United Nations began with the initial functional programming in January of 2004, and we anticipate our relationship continuing through final occupancy in 2014.

Astellas realised more than they thought was possible in terms of changing their working culture and have a achieved a highly connected and dynamic workspace as well as a delighted workforce.

to offer open and closed spaces for meeting and working.

Astellas appointed Perkins+Will to design their new workplace at 1000 Hillswood in Chertsey, Surrey. A key part of their brief was to challenge how the business currently worked and to propose a new way of working which encourages team work and collaboration and would suit the highly glazed, light and open building they had just bought. A feature of this building was the ground floor ‘street’, an area of around 20,000ft2 which had the potential to house not only cafe and restaurant spaces but

Astellas’ senior management had to be convinced of the benefits to be gained from a new way of working programme and initially were resistant and sceptical.

Astellas’s existing offices were highly cellularised and the business was split over 3 buildings. One of our key concepts was to provide a central ‘heart’ for the business to aid transparency and communication, ‘the beating pulse’- the street was the ideal place to do this. Combining the street with the new idea of ‘working everywhere’ was to be the opportunity and the challenge for the business.

To help aid the process of change we initiated a series of workshops with both senior management and a cross section of staff representatives.

Interestingly, the staff representatives were more open to the idea of working in a different way and we introduced them to the idea of ‘spending their space’. What this meant was that they

astellas /

could get extra new types of space to work in by having less desks, moving away from individually allocated workstations to teams sharing desks at a ratio of 8 desks for 10 people.

The teams could then choose from a menu of work setting types ranging from ‘kitchen tables’ to sofas and chairs to meeting tables, supported by a range of whiteboards, pin up spaces and screening for privacy.

Additionally, the 3 finger office floor has a range of small rooms offering opportunities for small meetings, teleconferencing and quiet working.

Special attention was given to furniture- there are pod type sofas with integrated ceiling and lighting for individual or collaborative work.

Astellas took the decision to have team led management of day to day allocation of desks. A certain number of desks acted as anchor positions for staff who use a desk every day as part of their job.

The key to the success of this project was the communication process which started from the very outset.

We designed a step by step change and communication process which allowed staff to input into the design process. Project ‘champions’ helped their colleagues to understand better the opportunities and voice concerns. key features Consolidation for 3 buildings to 1 Lakeside setting Review of ways of working Introduction of collaborative zone, shared

Perkins+Will was appointed in 2012 to analyse current space use across 69 and 71-73 Carter Lane, 5-7 Ireland Yard and Nestor House. As their lease was due to expire it was a catalyst to rethink how they used their space.

Euromoney had two options: • to stay in in the current

accommodation, which meant

Tom Heliwell, strategic consultant

accepting economies on space use and allocation to consolidate into the remaining buildings • to relocate, which would provide an opportunity to collocate in one building while embracing a modern, fit for purpose flexible working environment

Their current accommodation was dense, workspace standards were already efficient and there was minimal scope to add more workspaces, meeting rooms/meeting areas, break out areas on the working floors. If Euromoney decided to stay they would have needed to be a lot more flexible about desk allocation and how the space was laid out and

262 Perkins+Will Company Profile

used. It was unclear if the staff would benefit from this option. Overall the current occupancy was running at 62% average. Across all businesses over half of the business groups were running at below average occupancy and within the businesses meeting spaces overall provision of seats was good at nearly 1:4.

The option to relocate was an opportunity to collocate all the businesses, to provide the right type and number of supporting spaces and to explore alternative ways of working.

The benefits of a relocation was a new start, in a new building.

We developed 4 space models: 1. basic at 90% desks:staff retains current office configurations with minimal additional space settings 2. basic at 80% desks:staff retains current office configurations with minimal additional space settings 3. enhanced with mix of 90 and 80% desks:staff rationalises office configurations and allows for additional space settings 4. enhanced with mix of 80 and 70% desks:staff rationalises office configurations and allows for additional space settings

Based on the 4 space models, we advised Euromoney as follows: • model 1: very soft target but gives little back • model 2: saves the most space but gives little back • model 3: soft target and improves the working environment but doesn’t gain much space back • model 4: gives the best balance between sharing potential, space savings and potential for improvements to the working environment Example current space use

Perkins+Will develops an urban structure framework plan for the city of Abu Dhabi that combines forwardthinking urban design principles with traditional Emirati lifestyles.

272 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Perkins+Will developed an urban structure framework plan for the city of Abu Dhabi, in conjunction with Larry Beasley, former Head of Planning for the City of Vancouver, and Civitas Urban Design and Planning.

Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, controls more than 10% of the world’s proven oil reserves, and the income they provide, have had a profound effect on the city: 50 years ago, the majority of citizens lacked access to health care, education, electricity and running water; today, the city is a bustling modern capital, with planned development for the next decade exceeding $100 billion USD in value.

As a result of this rapid transformation, the city was in urgent need of a plan to direct development.

The planning process began in December of 2006 with a series of preparatory studies: an economic analysis; an infrastructure review; an environmental audit; a transportation summary; an assessment of existing built form, development patterns and open space distribution; and a broader examination of the challenges and opportunities facing the city. In February of 2007, the team conducted a five-day charrette with planners and rulers from Abu Dhabi and a group of international experts, developing three large-scale plans based on the preparatory studies’ projections.

Following the charrette, these concepts

were combined and distilled for an additional charrette in March, which included planning exercises at the regional, district and individual block levels. This process resulted in a policy framework for how the city will handle growth over the next 25 years.

Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 centered on two major moves: 1. The extension of the downtown area, which focused on Suwwah Island 2. The creation of the Abu Dhabi Capital District, which will eventually house 450,000 residents and major federal government institutions.

Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 was published in June 2007 by the Urban Planning Council and adopted as official government policy. Several development initiatives and a comprehensive master plan of the city are underway based upon Plan Abu Dhabi 2030.

Since Plan Abu Dhabi 2030’s implementation, the consortium of Beasley and Associates, Civitas Urban Design and Planning and Perkins+Will have produced 2030 Plans for the nearby City of Al Ain, the Western Region of Al Gharbia and the country’s Eastern Region.

Our Science Town concept has shifted the paradigm for the design of research centers, which are critical building blocks for tomorrow’s global economy.

To attract and retain world-class projects and talent, the research parks of the future must offer an attractive setting to live, work, linger and collaborate. Rather than the traditional research park model, in which big box facilities are buffered by parking lots and greenspace, we envisioned the King Abdullah University of Science and

282  Perkins+Will Company Profile

Technology (KAUST) Science Town as a sustainable, urban community.

This master plan creates a research hub that integrates science, business and academics into a unified city with housing and amenities.

The plan will guide the creation of a complete city growing from unimproved land, including all construction and urban systems.

Among the plan’s recommendations are four principle elements that serve as a framework for all other recommendations: a gridded street pattern, intra-block connectivity, a shaded pedestrian spine, and mixeduse development program distributed throughout the site.

284 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Perkins+Will creates an innovative mixed-use master plan that reclaims 15 acres of former industrial land and redevelops it as a global showcase for sustainable community development.

Dockside Green, the largest development in Victoria’s history, involves the reclamation and redevelopment of 15 acres of formerly industrial waterfront property.

The project includes 121,000 SM of commercial, residential, live/ work, work/live and light-industrial uses. With a LEED Platinum target for each building on site, the project is a global showcase for large-scale integrated sustainable development. In 2009, Dockside was awarded LEED for Neighbourhood Development Platinum, making it one of a handful of projects worldwide that have received this certification.

Perkins+Will’s master plan focuses on the creation of jobs and economic opportunity, while promoting environmental responsibility and healthy, vigorous and dynamic urban living. Physical structures follow new urbanism development principles,

and high-quality public open space, innovative design features, and other key amenities are included to enhance the livability of the development. The site is oriented around a greenway running parallel to the coast, with a village plaza providing a focal point at the western edge of the development. Mixeduse residential towers to the west will reach up to 10 storeys, while the majority of development will be between three and seven storeys tall. Waste resulting from one use will provide nutrients for other uses.

Holistic, closed-loop thinking and design will improve and compound the economic, environmental and livability benefits for all occupants.

The Perkins+Will-led team consisted of leaders in their respective disciplines of architecture, engineering, ecology, and stormwater and sustainable management, among others. Our holistic approach to the planning and design included clients, stakeholder groups, the City of Victoria, and development and financial teams intimately throughout the process. The integrated efforts of all involved resulted in a successful plan for a visionary community.

Following the completion of the master plan, Perkins+Will designed and delivered the first three phases of development, each earning LEED-NC Platinum certification.

Preservation Through preservation, we acknowledge that the layers of history add interest and vitality to the built environment. We typically design our preservation projects in accordance with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and many have received the substantial benefit of historic tax credits and other incentive programs.

Adaptive Reuse Whether in New York City, San Francisco, Toronto, or Panama City, our adaptive reuse work brings new life to sites while remaining sympathetic to original character. We transform streets, neighborhoods, and districts by adding urban variety, economic vitality, and richness.

Post-Industrial Waterfronts As global cities evolve and industry relocates, post-industrial urban waterfronts can become communal meeting places, centers for arts and entertainment, and focal points

for celebration. We work with communities to reclaim these often forgotten, closed-off areas and return them to the public realm.

Military Base Reuse These frequently large and diverse sites can be regenerated and repurposed for sustainable mixeduse neighborhoods, and integrated into surrounding communities. We build on the efficiency of many bases’ original infrastructure and seek to expand upon and refocus existing patterns.

Preservation Planning We study the broad patterns of historic neighborhoods, and through critical analysis and strategic transformations seek ways to maintain historic character while introducing new uses and sustainable systems.

Perkins+Will 1315 Peachtree Street

LOCATION Atlanta, Georgia completion date November 2010 Construction Cost Confidential size 78,000 gross square feet leed ® LEED-NC v2009 Platinum Awards 2012, Top Ten Green Projects, American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment (COTE) 2011, Development of Excellence Award, ULI-Atlanta 2011, Design Award, AIA-Georgia

Perkins+Will designed the 78,000 GSF renovation of a 1970’s office building. After spending 33 years in our home at 1382 Peachtree Street, the relocation allows our firm’s continued growth.

The 1315 location was chosen over other possible sites because of its relevant design challenge of reusing an existing building. Located in the heart of Midtown across from the High Museum of Art, the mixeduse building shares space with the Peachtree Branch of the AtlantaFulton County Public Library and the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA).

A holistic approach to sustainability in the workplace focuses not only on the environment, but also the health and wellbeing of the building’s occupants and the community.

296 Perkins+Will Company Profile

Perkins+Will’s new Atlanta office at 1315 Peachtree Street demonstrates how design can leverage the overlap between sustainability and wellbeing to create a work environment to help people breathe easier as they move throughout the day and that fosters a strong sense of culture and community.

The Perkins+Will Atlanta office occupies the top four floors with office space for up to 240 employees.

Exterior renovations include a more energy efficient window system and alterations to the front facade. An exterior terrace on the fifth floor serves as lunch, meeting and office social space. It features a garden for employees to get their “green” thumbs dirty. The interior design of this new space represents the latest in workplace design. Collaboration is encouraged through office wifi access, collaborative and flexible team rooms with benching applications and flexible pin-up areas for project teams.

The building’s high performance workplace design requires the alignment of the physical work environment with the culture, processes, tools and objectives of the company. The key opportunity is to increase overall workplace satisfaction and engagement. Shared amenities in 1315 Peachtree are frequently used, and collaboration has increased throughout the office including at the workstation, within the bay, in project team rooms, conference rooms and in the amenity spaces.

Employee satisfaction has increased in a number of areas, including face-to-face interactions, natural

light and views, general lighting and temperatures.

1315 Peachtree is a living lab and educational tool reflecting our environmental commitment to our colleagues, clients and community, our on-going pursuit of design excellence and its value to society.

This building is a snapshot of how current technologies can be used to achieve the highest LEED Platinum Certification rating, meet the 2030 Challenge and help reduce toxic materials from our building products.

The impact of converting existing buildings into energy-efficient buildings with ambitious performance goals supports our goal to meet the 2030 Challenge. The design achieved LEED Platinum with 95 points, making it the highest LEED certification for any new construction building in the Northern hemisphere and the third greenest building in the world according to the USGBC LEED rating system.

Wilson Meany The Ferry Building

LOCATION San Francisco, California completion date 2003 Construction Cost $67 million size 238,000 square feet

Constructed in 1898, the Ferry Building was the city’s main transportation hub for a half-century, and the most significant building to survive the 1906 earthquake. A series of incompatible alterations in the 1950s greatly diminished its historic character, and the dramatic main passenger concourse, the Nave, was filled in with added floors.

The adaptive reuse of the building into a retail and office building included restoring the Nave to create a naturally-lit public market hall running the 660’ length of the building. Three major east-west passages create a permeable ground floor which opens out to host San Francisco’s premier Farmers’ Market, connects the Embarcadero and the waterfront, and provides easy access

298 Perkins+Will Company Profile

to ferries. A new addition along the waterfront side of the building provides dramatic views for office spaces and the new public hearing room for the Port Commission.

The increased activity on the waterfront is dramatic. The Farmers’ Market saw attendance double in a single year and permanent retailers extended their hours well into the evening. The building was 100% leased and occupied within a year of opening, merchants are exceeding sales goals on a daily basis, and ferry ridership is up by 30%—returning the building to its stature as one of the great activity hubs of San Francisco.

Forest City Residential West Presidio Landmark

LOCATION San Francisco, California completion date 2010 Construction Cost Confidential size 220,000 square feet

Perkins+Will led the adaptive reuse of this historic hospital complex into 154 apartments and supportive amenity spaces. The centerpiece of this historic tax credit project was the rehabilitation and conversion of the main Colonial Revival brick and stone hospital building. Noncompatible additions were removed and the historic wood windows and brick and stone facades refurbished.

All new MEP systems and a new narrow concrete shear walls seismic resistance system were introduced. A threestory addition was added at the rear of the building.

Utilizing the building’s narrow wings to their best advantage, the new apartments are oriented to maximize their window exposure, resulting in dramatic ocean and city views.

Callaway Auditorium Symphony Music Hall

LOCATION LaGrange, Georgia completion date 2005 Construction Cost $5.5 million size 25,000square feet

The Callaway Auditorium renovation project converted a 1940 “gymnatorium” into a first-quality concert hall for the LaGrange College Music Department and the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra.

Working with nationally-renowned Auerbach, Pollock, Friedlander Theatre Consultants and Kirkegaard and Associates, Inc. Acoustical Consultants, Perkins+Will transformed a simple flat-floored basketball court with minimal stage.

The reworked auditorium features permanent seating on a raked floor, including 8 audience boxes.

The radical renovation extended the stage by 20’ to accommodate full orchestra, added a stage enclosure

302 Perkins+Will Company Profile

and overhead shaped ceiling reflectors to push sound forward to the audience, and narrowed the auditorium by enclosing it with new sidewalls angled and equipped with retractable acoustic curtains to diffuse sound reflection and prevent standing wave echoes. A new sound system, and new theatre and house lighting, as well as reconfigured lobby and entry sequence were part of the modernization. The 25,000 square foot building also received essential improvements to its exterior envelope (new roof, windows, doors) as well as new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

University of British Columbia Buchanan Complex Revitalization

LOCATION Vancouver, BC Completion Date 2010 Construction Cost $28 million CAD Size 17,200 sm (185,140 sf) Leed New Construction v 1.0 Gold Certified University Teaching

A landmark in Vancouver’s modern architecture history, this simple concrete-frame complex receives a needed revitalization to connect it with University of British Columbia’s new ‘University City’ identity.

Built 50 years ago, the Buchanan Complex remains critical to the vitality and function of the University of British Columbia campus. As the primary facility for the Faculty of Arts—the largest faculty at UBC—the school witnesses an average enrolment of 12,000 students per year.

The complex consists of several concrete-frame buildings that are surrounded by masonry infill walls.

Strategically navigating the site’s topography, the walls meander to create a series of open and covered courtyard

304 Perkins+Will Company Profile

spaces where lush, mature vegetation has grown to form relaxing outdoor ‘rooms’ for retreat and study.

Perkins+Will led a complete overhaul of the complex’s existing mechanical, electrical and seismic systems. Interiors were also fully re-configured to reflect current teaching techniques, including increased flexibility and more office spaces for graduate student research.

Combining art student services into a convenient ground-level office zone, the revitalized interior includes a co-op and student guidance and counselling areas.

The integration of graduate students with faculty furthers the significance of the graduate experience and enhances the faculty’s retention abilities.

Through an increased number of around-the-clock social spaces and a new cafe, the complex is witnessing a renewed connection to the broader campus and plays an active role within the University of British Columbia’s new ‘University City’ identity.
