“Homeless people have more spirituality than we give them credit for, many times all they need is a quiet place ‘to be’ and feel secure.” - Sister Monica O’Keefe, MSC, substance abuse counselor, Optima Health VNA Community Services, Inc., Manchester, New Hampshire
“A growing body of evidence suggests that spirituality is positively associated with mental health” “Spirituality appeared to play an important role in the lives of the homeless and that feeling close to God may be linked to better functional mental or emotional health in homeless people. - Kelly Knaub, http://pavementpieces.com/homeless-find-strength-in-spirituality/, April 16, 2010

HAVEN FOR HOPE
San Antonio, Texas
Haven for Hope, the nation’s largest most comprehensive homeless center, is a 37 acre campus with a “one-stop-shop” approach to addressing and treating the root causes of chronic homelessness. Located on the west side of downtown San Antonio, this transformational campus consists of over 300,000SF of new and repurposed buildings, and has revitalized a once neglected area of the city and restored the urban fabric of the surrounding community. Considered by many as the “new national model for homeless shelters”, this campus houses more than 80 non-profit organizations that serve the homeless. 286,000 GSF; 37 Acres - http://overlandpartners.com/pages/projects/
LESSONS
- Transformational services to also be able to serve the public. - Transformational services was under planned for compared to need. - Shows us that the services building will be heavily used and must be probably planned out.
THE BRIDGE
Dallas, Texas
75,000 GSF The Bridge Homeless Assistance Center was conceived to engage and regenerate our most disenfranchised members of the community and improve the social equity of the City of Dallas. The result is a campus with buildings arranged around a series of landscaped courtyards that are designed to promote a sense of safety, a place where personal connections can be made and relationships developed. The Bridge is the largest homeless shelter to receive LEED Silver certification LESSONS
- http://overlandpartners.com/pages/projects/
-Reduced chronic homeless count in Dallas from 6,000 to 150 -Reduced crime rate by 26% in the areas surrounding The Bridge -Placed more than 1,400 individuals in permanent/supportive housing -Found employment for more than 900 individuals -Served more than 1 million meals
TENT CITY
Lubbock, Texas
120,000 GSF
Tent City provides a home for those who are experiencing homelessness. The Genesis Program on the North Campus at 13th & Ave A holds roughly 50 tents with room for growth. Anyone finding themselves homeless are welcome to find shelter and help with jobs, clothing, substance abuse and personal goal setting. The step up program is focused upon the dignity of every individual that enters wanting to find a better way of living or just help through a difficult season of life. http://www.linkministries.com/High_Cotton.htm

Sprinklers
ANALYSIS daylighting & systems
Day Lighting
- Small building energy consumption tends to be driven primarily by heating and cooling loads associated with thermal exchange through the building’s exterior skin. Thus, in cold climates, energy consumption is dominated by the need to replace hat lost through the walls and roof during the cold months. In warmer regions, like Texas, energy consumption is driven by the removal of heat gained through the exterior envelope during the warm months. - Daylight illumination can also contribute to reduced cooling loads in warm climates. Indirect light from the north sky or from well-shaded southern exposures is an excellent source of illumination with low heat content. Direct sunlight can be reflected off exterior surfaces before it is admitted into a structure, thereby leaving a significant portion of its heat content outside the building.
- A sprinkler system is required for any stories or basement exceeding 1500 sq ft if the area doesn’t have openings to the outdoors. - Our building will not require sprinklers.
- The Architect’s Studio Companion; Rules of Thumb for Preliminary Design, Allen & Iano
Structural Steel Beams
- Steel beams can be used as combustible and noncombustible construction. Fire-resistance ratings of as high as 4 hours are achievable with applied fireproofing or an appropriately fireresistive ceiling. Some building codes also allow reduced fire protection or exposed steel for roof structures that are 15 to 25ft or more about the floor.
- Widths of beams range from approximately 1/3rd to ½ the depth of the member

Structural Steel Tube Columns - Standard shapes for structural hollow steel sections include square tubes, rectangular tubes, and round pipes. Compared to wide flange sections, they are more resistant to bulking forces, making them a good choice for columns or compressive members in all types of steel systems. They are employed as columns in long span steel structures for their greater efficiency, and because they are available in lighter weights than other standard shapes, they are frequently used in one or two-story steel structures as well. - The simple profiles and clean appearance of hollow steel sections make them popular for use where the steel remains visible in the finished structure, or the structure is exposed to the elements. Tubes or pipes are generally available in whole-inch sizes up to 6 or 8 in. and in even-inch increments up to 12 to 16 in. - The Architect’s Studio Companion; Rules of Thumb for Preliminary Design, Allen & Iano
TEM AL SYS
SEC
- With group B with more than on occupancy load exceeding 49 there needs to be 2 exits. - The ways out must be separated by a distance equal to not less than one-half the diagonal measured of the room, space, or floor. If the building is sprinklered, the distance may be reduced to one-third the diagonal measure of the space. - Maximum travel distance in an unsprinklered building is 200’ in a sprnklered its 300’. - Maximum common path of egress travel: 75’ unsprinklered 100’ sprinklered - Minimum length of dead-end corridor: 20’ unsprinklered 50’ sprinklered - Door width: Min: 32” net clear Max: 48” nominal - Minimum clear corridor width 44” for 49+ occupants 36” serving 49 or fewer - Minimum stair width 44” for 49+ occupants 36” serving 49 or fewer
- Exposed hollow steel columns may be used in both Unprotected Noncombustible and Unprotected Combustible Construction. For Protected Construction Types, fire-resistance ratings up to 3 hours for very light sections and 4 hours for heavier ones are achievable with any number of fireproofing materials applied in thicknesses of 2 to 4 in per side. - Ratings of 3 hours can also be achieved with intumescent coatings, or with specially designed hollow sections that are then filled with concrete. - The Architect’s Studio Companion; Rules of Thumb for Preliminary Design, Allen & Iano
- Our building type allows for no fire resitance requirements.
Steel Roof Decking
Parking
- Steel roof decking may have a site cast concrete or gypsum topping or may be covered directly with a variety of board or roofing products. Many proprietary metal roof decking systems, with a wide variety of performance characteristics are available.
- “There should be roughly 50 parking spots and we wouldn’t expect to have them all in use very often but with staff and members plus volunteers we just need to be sure and have enough in case...”
- We will use steel decking because it is a light cost effective roofing choice and it allows for easy attachment of other materials as well as our solar panels. The sizing will be 3” deep to allow for spans up to 16’. - The Architect’s Studio Companion; Rules of Thumb for Preliminary Design, Allen & Iano

Heating and Cooling; Ground Source Heat Pump
- In winter a geothermal heat pump collects the Earth's natural heat through a series of pipes, called a loop, installed below the surface of the ground. Fluid circulates through the loop and carries the heat to the building. An electrically driven compressor and a heat exchanger concentrate the Earth's energy and release it inside the home at a higher temperature. Ductwork distributes the heat to different rooms. In summer, the process is reversed.
