Pier 26
Pier 26 provides observers, listeners and tactile learners with authentic learning experiences that engage their minds, interests and bodies. The initial presentation of familiar and universal concepts makes the introduction of new insights and data welcoming; inviting opportunities to passively educate visitors throughout their experience.
The informative process channels concepts through transitional phases to derive global awareness. Methods in constructing and maintaining communities that are “safe, healthy and economically resilient” are also mechanisms in harnessing a sustainable environment. Pier 26 will educate the population on its local environment and its relationship to global concepts. Increased awareness of the environment will involve and essentially, shape how we prepare and acclimate to climate change.
The Estuarium provides a unique and interactive experience that will educate and delight explorers of all ages and backgrounds. Innovative strategies educate and integrate the community leading to sustained donations and a lifelong following that will have local and global environmental impacts. The Estuarium offers a constantly evolving educational program and amenities to retain year-round attraction.
INTERACTIVE LEARNING
Evidence suggests that successful learning is achieved through the adoption of responsive education methods that support and stimulate different habits and disciplines. Visual, auditory, kinesthetic and the combination of these styles are deployed throughout the Estuarium to enhance the educational aspect for all visitors.

EXTERIOR CIRCULATION SECONDARY
The exterior secondary path extends from North Moore Street and the existing bike and pedestrian routes south of Pier 26. The south path is constructed of light-weight materials consisting of perforated mesh fibers and tensile cables, providing sunlight penetrability and explorers a “jumping” and buoyant excursion directly above the water. The south path arches around and is visible from the north path before it gradually slopes down to additional activities at the Commons and Ice Rink.
EXTERIOR CIRCULATION PRIMARY
The exterior primary path extends from North Moore Street and the existing bike and pedestrian routes north of Pier 26 to the Commons and Ice Rink where it meets the south path. The north path is constructed of aluminum bar grating consisting of a series of bearing bars welded at intervals to perpendicular cross bars to form a load-bearing panel. The perforated panels provide sunlight penetration during optimal weather conditions as well as friction and permeability in storm conditions. The south path is accessible from the east and west ends of Pier 26, providing panoramic views of the Hudson River, the New Jersey skyline and lower Manhattan. A 360-degree experiential tour of the glass tower is granted by the spiraling structural aluminum frame.

Advanced Schematic Design + Design Development
Completion: 2024
125,000 SF
$75 Million
The College of Engineering and Computing of FIU surmounts to a 125,000 square-foot, six-story building that will house maker space labs, active learning classrooms and research laboratories at Modesto A. Maidique Campus. The new multidisciplinary facility is designed to better prepare the next generation of engineering and computing professionals as part of an effort to help graduate more engineers and expand innovation in Miami and throughout the state.
The LEED Certified Gold building will feature 20,000 square feet of interactive research and teaching space with best-in-class computing and prototyping equipment for advancements in the fields of cyber security, nanotechnology drug delivery and environmental resilience.
The College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) is home to nearly 8,000 engineering and computing students, including more than 1,000 graduate students. The engineering expansion will position FIU to graduate an additional 500 engineers each year, create hundreds of more jobs in South Florida and increase research spending by $30 million a year.
The $48.4 million facility will be constructed near the corner of Southwest 8th Street and Southwest 107th Avenue thanks in large part to a state legislative appropriation of $39 million and additional philanthropic and research funding. Technology in the building will be enhanced with private funds, including part of a $10 million gift from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
SITE + KEY PLANS
The FIU Engineering School creates a gateway to the greater grounds within FIU’s main campus. Situated at the intersection of SW 8TH ST and SW 70TH AVE, the Engineering Building saddles what is to be a newly constructed paved plaza that creates direct access from the main roads into the heart of the FIU campus. Built in-situ two landscape berms, the FIU Engineering School BT-919 is the first of five buildings to be constructed on the existing campus. The mass development is phased into five separate buildings, inclusive of garage parking, a bio-diverse and restorative lake, full-service access roads and pedestrian routes, and robust landscaping.
BUILDING SECTIONS
The FIU Engineering School is executed as a two-phased project, Day 1 (Finished) and Day 2 (Shelled). Via in-depth and recurring reviews held with the FIU leadership and consultants, the 100% Design Development package is the result of a conscientious and thorough effort of what is achievable with the appropriate programming and available funding during Phase 1. Day 1 (Finished) Spaces are readily documented for full construction with FF+E specifications. Shelled Spaces are delivered for purposes of design intent, in which FF+E specifications are temporary during construction of Phase 1. Programming and completion of Phase 2 remain contingent of board approval and funding and not in contract.
ATRIUM
The six-story glass Atrium bridges the East and West wings of the FIU Engineering school. Set above grade at level three, the Atrium is accessible from the exterior via paved plaza beneath as well as every level, interior throughout the building. The austere palette of the Atrium is industrial with warm accents. The vertical wood grill spans full height and serves as a decorative screen to the HVAC system embedded into the wall. The “glass box” is illuminated with vertical pendants ranging between 3’-0” to 12’-0” long, rhythmically suspended from the ceiling above. The monumental stair is supported by the sequential bridges, which house HVAC systems, providing HVAC transference between the East and West wings.
GRADUATE STUDENT HALL
Level 3 is the most diverse level within the building, both programmatically and structurally. Rigorous building section studies and MEP consultant coordination were executed to realize the feasibility of HVAC conditions respective to the ceiling heights at each level. Situated upon a transfer beam, Level 3 provides interchangeable spaces for students and collaboration. The Graduate Student Hall serves as an open office setting, accessible to students for individual and collaborative purposes. Various Design Options were implemented to achieve optimal layouts to harness flexibility, efficiency, and versatility for daily and occasional use.
MULTI-USE ROOMS
The industrial approach with exposed ceilings is consistent throughout the FIU Engineering school. FF+E specifications are synonymous throughout all classrooms, multi-use rooms, teaching facilities and research labs. Acoustical clouds and linear pendants (at standard dimensions) are suspended from the exposed ceiling, and polished concrete flooring is sealed throughout all educational rooms. Motorized screen projectors and writable glass surfaces are ceiling mounted alike. Furniture layouts are configured to accommodate flexibility and various modes of educational dynamics.
CONFERENCES
Conference Rooms are primarily located within the West wing of the FIU Engineering school, stacked on Levels 3 and 4. West wing allocations are sized to accommodate medium to large conference rooms, whereas rooms located on the East wing provide meeting areas for smaller groups.
01 - Small Conference (2-4 People)
02 - Medium Conference (6-8 people)
03 - Large Conference (12-14 people)
OFFICES
Administrative and private offices are the only spaces within the FIU Engineering school with finished FF+E specifications. Consistent with FIU Design Standards, private offices are specified with carpet tile flooring and insulated ceilings to achieve optimal acoustical values. Gypsum board ceilings line the perimeter of the centered acoustical panels to create an intimate and refined aesthetic. Office ceilings are aligned 9’-0” above the finished floor throughout apart from Level 2, where they are 8’-6” above finished floor due to the ceiling height reduction respective to the transfer beam at this level.

Project Cost Confidential
In partnership with Corvias, LLC and Gilbane, Steinberg Hart is near completion of the design-build effort in development of the California State University Northridge (CSUN) Hilton Garden Inn. As a public-private hospitality project, CSUN will serve campus visitors and the local community whilst contributing to the academic and economic support for the California State University at no cost to the state of California or students. Corvias, LLC and its partners have been entrusted for financing the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of the hotel. The development of on-campus accommodations is an addition to the 700+ higher education projects, 75 which are CSU, realized by the long-standing relationship between Corvias, LLC and Gilbane, Steinberg Hart.
Located on 3.3 acres of land at the southeast corner of the campus at Matador Way and Nordhoff Street, the 95% Construction Documentation phase encompasses all new core, shell and interior construction documentation and specification for submittal. The project will be built directly adjacent to CSUN’s orange grove and pond, which will be preserved along with the mature trees along Nordhoff Street. The Construction Documentation and Administration phases have been executed to achieve compliance with California State Building Code, District of State Architect approval and LEED Gold certification.
Students enrolled in the Department of Recreation and Tourism Management (RTM) at CSUN benefit from the hotel as the establishment provides on-site internships and learning opportunities for students pursuing hospitality careers. CSUN will meet the immediate needs for on-site accommodation while serving the academic community and professional growth of the university’s students on a long-term basis.
SITE PLAN
The site is adjacent to the campus academic core, and with thorough analysis, was selected to complement future development identified in CSUN’s existing Campus Master Plan, including academic and student support facilities, faculty/staff housing, and 1,800 beds of additional student housing near existing student housing facilities. The 82,000-square-foot hotel will have 149 rooms and 1,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel will include 128 parking spaces, all of which will be adjacent to the hotel.
NORDHOFF STREET
FLOOR PLANS
Demising partitions are 1-HR rated (red dash) whereas load-bearing partitions are 2-HR rated (blue dash). Administration, amenity, and back of house programs as well as guestrooms are located on Level 1. Levels 2 through 4 are typical in which all walls and shafts stack. King guestrooms are aligned to the left of the corridor, across from Queen guestrooms located to the right. In compliance with ADA regulations for 101-150 guestrooms, one accessible King room is located on the ground level. Additionally, one accessible room per King and Queen prototype (with an accessible tub or roll-in shower) are allocated through Levels 2 and 4.
BUILDING SECTIONS
At four stories, the new construction of the California State University Northridge Hilton Garden Inn with 149 keys classifies as a Type III-A wood frame building over slab-on-grade.
Per fire resistive construction requirements, Section 700, fire barriers such as elevators, shafts and stair enclosures are 2-HR rated (blue dash); and fire partitions inclusive of corridor and demising walls are 1-HR rated (red dash).
GUESTROOMS
Guestrooms for King, Accessible King, Queen, and Accessible Queen are designed to best align California Building Code, Hilton Garden Inn prototypes, and ADA requirements. Accessible guestrooms stack vertically and are located at allowable distances to means of egress throughout Levels 2 through 4. ADA requirements for guest restrooms are more conservative than conventional hospitality projects due to the nature of the project’s location on education campus and DSA approval.
Guestroom FF+E specifications are prototypical per the Hilton Garden Inn franchise brand and are designated “FF+E by Owner” via Keynote tags. Wall and floor finishes are identified via Keynote (as opposed to Room Finish Tag) due to finish variation at each location.
STAIR + GUARDRAIL DETAILS
Featured, Stair 3, is one of three egress stairs within the building. Stair landing heights vary between 4’-9 ½” to 4’-11” from top of slab at each level to accommodate a minimum of 6’-8” headroom clearance. Stair landing depths range between 3’-10” to 6’-4”, compliant with a minimum turning radius of 3’-8”. Stair guardrails are to be manufactured from stainless steel as drawn. Top of rail is detailed at a minimum of 3’-6” above finished floor and top of handrail pipe is detailed at a maximum of 2’-10”. Construction of the guardrail entails the insertion of steel stanchions into the concrete landing, to achieve a floor-mounted system.
FLOOR TRANSITION DETAILS
Like the guestroom layouts and FF+E specifications, floor finish transitions are also consistent with the Hilton Garden Inn prototypes. Details are drawn to reflect the various conditions that occur throughout the 149-key hotel, inclusive of guestrooms, amenity, administrative, and back of house areas. Sealant and acoustical underlay are identified where necessary to achieve optimal and sustainable performance. The execution of floor finish transition details consisted of extracting information from existing Revit families within BIM360 libraries and modifying them in accordance to Hilton Garden Inn prototypes as well as any unique conditions present in the project.
