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

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.

34â&#x20AC;&#x192; 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 LEEDâ&#x201E;˘ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

american university in iraq - sulamani campus master plan

LOCATION Sulamani, Iraq size 180 hectares

100â&#x20AC;&#x192; Perkins+Will Company Profile

Perkins+Will was contracted by the Board of Trustees for the American University in Iraq - Sulamani (AUI-S) to prepare a Campus Master Plan on a 180 hectare green-field site. The phased campus construction and academic development is expected to achieve a full time student population of 5,000 by the year 2030. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learn, Lead, Build.â&#x20AC;? 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.

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,

like a tone-on-tone color palette, art, and lighting. The subsequent space captures the reign of one of France’s greatest kings and provides guests with an unparalleled experience. 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.

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.

LOCATION Tacoma, Washington completion date April 2010 Construction Cost $22 million size 51,000 square feet leed LEED Platinum Certified for New Construction Awards AIA Seattle RegionalTop Ten Green Award, 2008 AIA Washington Civic Design, Merit Award, 2008

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.
