Workforce Development

The collaboration between academia and industry has brought about a cultural shift in higher education, funding, and the built environment which supports the "academy". SWBR can discuss the ramifications of the changing relationship between industry and higher education, and the explorations and resultant opportunities and potential pitfalls facing campus leaders and business owners today.

We understand the necessity of STEM field focus in tomorrow's economy.

Workforce Development CASE STUDY

Monroe community college gleason hall of Applied science and technology

MCC completed a major renovation to Building 9, the Gleason Hall of Science & Technology. The multi-million dollar project took more than 3-years to complete. Building 9, one of the original campus buildings was erected over 40 years ago, and was the first on campus to be completely gutted and re-configured in order to meet the needs of Technical Education now and in the future. The building houses several technology-based academic laboratories as well as lecture rooms and a state-of-the-art greenhouse. It also encompasses the newly built Wolk Nursing Center which was completed three years ago. The first Phase of the multi-phase project was completed over the summer of 2008 and included project prep work, four new labs, a complete new roof and upgrades to the building’s HVAC system. Engineering Technologies labs completed during that first phase were two new Electronic Technology Labs and a brand new CAD (computer-aided drafting/design) lab for the Mechanical Technology program. Also completed were two new Construction Technology labs, the new Engineering Tech Computer Lab, two new Optical Tech Labs an Electronic Technology lab and a new Electronic Learning Center for Engineering Technologies Department students to use.

“Workforce development is critical to the successful implementation of each of the Next Generation Strategies and to ensuring innovation and growth in America's manufacturing sector. With an estimated 600,000 manufacturing jobs going unfilled, we still need to arm elementary, secondary and post-secondary education providers with the tools and resources to teach the building blocks of manufacturing skills: math, science, technology, engineering (STEM), emotional intelligence, communication, teamwork, decision-making, initiative and collaboration."

Advanced Research CASE STUDY

CORNELL UNIVERSITY RILEY robb hall: cellulosic ethanol research LABS

SWBR Architects provided design services for the expansion of the BioFuels Research Lab on the Cornell University Campus. Led by Dr. Larry Walker, a leading researcher in the production of ethanol, SWBR transformed a portion of the existing Riley Robb building into a state of the art bio-fuels research facility.

In addition, SWBR relocated the Soil and Water researchers in the existing Riley Robb building to another location, thereby providing them with more suitable space for their research and development activities.

The project was designed as a LEED certified project and includes the addition of a new mechanical penthouse which serves both projects and has the ability to be expandable for future growth. In April 2010, Riley Robb Hall was awarded LEED Gold by the US Green Building Council.

Incubator Facility CASE STUDY

High Tech Rochester

50,000 SF office and manufacturing incubator facility with room for 18 to 25 small businesses. Completed with a construction cost of $5,000,000.

This business incubator is intended to help new business by offering low rents for work space, shared services and advisory services. Tenants are not expected to remain in the incubator for more than three years, as it is intended to graduate them into the community as they grow, develop, and create jobs. SWBR designed all tenant spaces within the facility to meet the specific requirements of the users.

To date, HTR has incubated more than 75 companies and worked with dozens of small to mid-sized manufacturers, offering extensive handson coaching, mentoring, and other assistance to accelerate their business growth.

To “graduate� from HTR’s mentoring and incubator programs, companies must have achieved customer validation in the way of purchase and use of their product or service, and they must have raised sufficient capital to sustain their business going forward.

Process Industrial CASE STUDY

Eastman Kodak manufacturing

This project was driven by a business case analysis requiring the elimination of the Elmgrove Road apparatus division facility. Buildings at Kodak Park were defined as “target buildings� to receive the business units which had to vacate the building. Business units included Optics Manufacturing, Health Imaging and Digital Imaging.Existing target buildings required comprehensive renovations in order to receive the relocating business units. All preparations focused on limiting production downtime to one week or less. New spaces included cafeterias and offices to support manufacturing operations.

Existing buildings required new electrical load stations, HVAC systems, and

lighting as well as specialized systems for manufacturing. Due to pre-existing building use all facilities required total code updating to support the change of use.A successful project required constant attention to schedule and accurate deliverables to allow smooth construction. Since business case drove the project the potential cost impact of every decision was thoroughly tested. Constant team communication was critical to project delivery masterplanning the existing buildings for best use of existing circulation patterns and fixed spaces resulted in efficient reuse.
