rove, who along with Gordon Moore (of

Moores Law fame) and Robert Noyce
(nicknamed The Mayor of Silicon Valley
for his business prowess) co-founded Intel in 1968,
believed strongly in the value of paranoia. He was
constantly on the lookout for what he called strategic inection pointsthose moments of elemental
change in a business environment that, if ignored,
could mark the beginning of a downward spiral for a
company or organization. It could be a technological
advancement, a new competitor, a trade agreement, a tariffanything that could lead to full-scale
changes in the way business is conducted.
In his seminal 1996 business leadership book,
Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis
Points That Challenge Every Company and Career
(http://amzn.to/263uUvT), Grove called these fundamental changes deadly when unattended to, and
believed that companies could never fully recover
from a downward slide. Hence his paranoia.
But Grove also acknowledged the incredible
opportunities offered to the players who were adept
at navigating a changing business ecosystem. As
an example, he pointed to the ood of low-cost
memory chip products from Japan in the 1980s.
This inection point was so overwhelming for Intel, it
forced the companywhich, at that time, was nearly a billion-dollar enterprisecompletely out of the
memory production business and into the edging
eld of microprocessors. Can you imagine walking
away from an established market worth hundreds of
millions of dollars in favor of the unknown?
In many respects, Groves state of paranoia has
permeated the AEC market, and for good reason.
Technological advancementsBIM/VDC, compu-
tational design, virtual reality, reality captureare

changing the way rms perform work. Startups like
Airbnb and WeWork are turning their clients business models upside down. Economic and policy
shifts are placing intense pressure on major real
estate sectors, including healthcare (Affordable Care
Act) and higher education (student loan crisis). And
the lagging affects of the Great Recession continue
to place budget stresses on building segments.
AEC rms, and their clients, are scrambling to
keep up in this era of rapid technological and business change. Theyre in a race to innovate.
This state of mind was evident during an AEC
technology panel discussion I participated in a few
months ago. One of the panelists, a digital design
leader at a major architecture giant, wowed the
audience with a laundry list of jaw-dropping tech
innovations the rm was either using regularly,
piloting, or researchinggame engines, beacons,
computational design, drones mounted with 3D
laser scanners, to name a few.
What struck me most was what he said next.
He admitted that almost on a daily basis he has
deep anxiety about his rm not doing enough to
stay ahead. It is something that keeps himand his
colleaguesup at night. I thought to myself, Wow, if
this guy feels this way, I cant imagine what the tech
laggards are feeling?
To thrive in todays turbulent market, AEC professionals must think and act like those early Silicon
Valley pioneers: maintain a level of paranoia and be
ready and willing to pivot on a dime when a strategic inection point hits.

TECHNOLOGY IS THE NEW

OFFICE PERK, SAYS SURVEY
OF AMERICAN WORKERS
merican ofce workers love their

jobs. They love them even more
when the technology their companies use is ahead of the curve.
A survey of more than 1,000 U.S. ofce
workers by Adobe found that 70% said they
love what they do, and a remarkable 81% said
that state-of-the-art technology was more
important to them than an ofces design or
on-site amenities.
Seven out of 10 workers believe technology
improves their work-life balance, and 81% said
technology helps them connect with colleagues
more efciently. Those respondents who believe
their companys technology is ahead of the
curve feel about twice as creative, motivated,
and satised as respondents who work for
companies with standard technology.
Only 25% of respondents think their companys technology excels. Nevertheless, more
than half (53%) expect technology to be handling more of their ofces menial taskscopying, ling, etc.over the next two decades.
The Adobe survey portrays an American
workforce for which work and life are inseparable, almost to the point of obsession. More
than half of the respondents said theyd keep
working if they won the lottery. U.S. workers
spend, on average, 78% of their waking hours
during the work week and 41% of their days off
thinking about their job.
One in three ofce workers moonlights in
jobs outside of their primary occupation, and
moonlighters are more likely to be happier and
more optimistic than non-moonlighters. More

GLOBAL
CONSTRUCTION
DISPUTES TOOK
LONGER TO RESOLVE
IN 2015: ARCADIS
REPORT
Most construction disputes are settled before
they erupt into migraine-inducing litigation.
But global asset volatility, currency turbulence, and the loss of economic momentum
globally have made dispute resolution tougher
to reach amicably.
For the third consecutive year, the length of
disputes rose in 2015, according to a new report by Arcadis, based on an in-depth review
of projects that the rms Contract Solutions
team handled last year.
Arcadis, which is active in 70 countries,
denes a dispute as a situation where two
parties typically differ in the assertion of a
contractual right. Last year, the value of disputes fell by nearly 11% to an average of $46
million. However, the length of time it took to
resolve these conicts increased to a record
average of 15.2 months, compared to 13.2
months in 2014 and 11.8 months in 2013.
The top cause for disputes was failure to
properly administer a contract, followed by
a poorly written draft and unsubstantiated
claims. The real estate sector had the most
disputes, followed by the social infrastructure/
public sector. Arcadis notes that more than
one-quarter of joint ventures end in disputes.
Party-to-party negotiation is still the most
common form of resolving disputes. The best
ways to avoid disputes is to make sure the
contract is administered properly, the documents are accurate, and the contract has fair
and appropriate risk and balances.
Arcadis notes that the U.S. was the only
global region to achieve a decrease in both
construction dispute values and length of time
to resolve disputes last year.
But there is one downside, says Roy
Cooper, a VP with Arcadis North America.
Even though more disputes are being settled
early, the ones that remain grow into complicated, emotional affairs, with large damages

Facility managers increasingly are looking

to adopt the Internet of Things (IoT) in their
building maintenance strategies. Sixty percent
of professionals predict that IoT will impact
their maintenance policies within the next year,
according to a survey of 400 U.S. facility leaders by Schneider Electric. Roughly two out of
three respondents plan to increase investment
in building capital expenses in 2016, including
advanced building technologies.
However, a few factors are hampering
facility managers from taking full advantage of
building data, the survey indicated. Seventy percent of facility managers said that
their building management staff is very or
extremely skilled in data analysis, but only
27% utilize data-driven analytics solutions for
building management.
Primary barriers include the amount of
funding required (39% said funding is a top
concern) and the lack of internal resources
available to interpret data into actionable results (31%). Only 26% of respondents felt that
available building information is adequate for
facility maintenance planning. A majority of respondents cited room for improvement in this
area, and only 15% said that they fully utilize
predictive maintenance tools to proactively
assess and target equipment maintenance.

STANFORDS INNOVATION CURVE TECH

PARK WILL LIVE UP TO ITS NAME
Stanford Universitys new Innovation Curve Technology Park will
certainly embody its name. Designed by Form4 Architecture,
the 13.5-acre Palo Alto, Calif., campus will feature four buildings
with steep, curved aluminum roofs that are meant to symbolize
the roller-coaster evolution of innovation. The buildings will
accommodate programs for computer gaming, translation
software, and digital inventions. Deep overhangs and vertical
glass ns shade the exteriors to control solar heat gain, and
deep horizontal sunshades act as light shelves. The LEED
Platinumregistered project will feature solar power generation,
construction waste recycling, bioswales, and high-efciency
HVAC systems. Also on the Building Team: DCI (SE), M-E
Engineers (MEP), and Vance Brown Builders (contractor).

TRIPPY LED FAADE WILL ADORN

1,200-CAR BAY AREA PARKING GARAGE
A Faireld, Calif., parking structure will display an array of colors
on its 50x600-foot faade. During the day, sunlight will bounce
off the exteriors undulating, vertical ns. At night, a low-resolution
LED display will project art made by members of the community.
Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture designed the 1,200-car,
six-level parking garage. Photovoltaic panels will line the roof
and will power the four electric car chargers on each level. To
accommodate a large commuter population, the structure will
have bike lockers and van pool parking. It will be located at
West Texas Street and Interstate 80, a busy area of Faireld.
Construction is expected to begin in 2018, with a late 2019 target
date for completion.

Alan McLenaghan and SageGlass are changing the paradigm of

building design by allowing architects to better manage the effects
of the sun without the need to use blinds and shades.

ENGINEERING REPORT
3D PRINTING, MODULAR HOSPITALS, FLUID DAMPERS:
engineering rms push innovation
s part of the Giants 300 survey

process, a number of engineering and engineering/architecture
rms reported innovations, market
trends, and new business ventures. Heres a
roundup of what they reported:
Hankins and Anderson expanded its
services with blast engineering. A recent
project success involved a custom solution
for analyzing and designing cold-formed
roof trusses, which traditionally have not
been viewed as capable of resisting blast
loads. H&A also increased its capabilities
in the early analysis of renewable energy
systems and on-site energy storage to meet
growing client demand for campus-level
micro-grids for increased energy security.
ThermalTech Engineering doubled
down on its controls business by expanding
its programming capabilities and creating custom monitoring systems that allow
its engineers to check on systems several
thousand miles away, at little cost.
We continue to strive to become controls
specialists, says Jeffrey Celuch, the rms
President and CEO.
Thornton Tomasetti licensed a NASAdeveloped uid structure coupling (FSC)
device designed to reduce rocket vibrations, and is adapting it for buildings and
bridges. The Fluid Harmonic Damper
calibrates the way liquids and structures
interact. It is less expensive and more
effective than traditional tuned mass dampers, according to the rm.
Thornton Tomasetti and its newly
acquired partner Weidlinger Associates
launched a company, TTWiiN, focused
on developing tools and techniques to
solve engineering problems and improve
processes. Six products were part of the

initial launch.
As part of its Vision 2025 business strategy program, Syska Hennessy is making

Jensen Hughes is working with engineers at Virginia Tech to develop technology for robotic reghting. The innovations
involve mapping and localization within
indoor environments containing smoke,
autonomous location of res outside the
eld of view of the robot, and autonomous
suppression of res. The technologies
are being developed for both ground and
aerial vehicles. The rm also developed a
software tool, called EndSight Software
Suite, which utilizes new technology to
solve complex site monitoring, compensatory, and impairments needs related to re

protection.
During the past year, Dewberry led an
international team in the creation of a modular hospital prototype for developing countries. The World Standard Modular Hospital
utilizes a proprietary panel product for the
construction that can be executed by local
laborers. The prototype is energy and water
efcient and effective for use in locations
where there is no infrastructure. It is scalable up to 500 beds and accommodates a
range of spaces, including patient wards,
surgery, emergency, and outpatient care.
KLH Engineers developed a custom,
integrated software tool for processing submittals and RFIs. The application

project documentation, and lessons
learned on projects.
P2S Engineering, SSOE Group, and
Woolpert added 3D laser scanning services to streamline and improve the capture

teams to capture discipline-specic components of a facility, such as MEP systems.
Woolpert developed design workows

The rm collects its own thermal and
hyperspectral imagery and lidar scans, and
interprets them in software such as Revit,

CONSTRUCTION REPORT
ECONOMISTS FORECAST MODERATION IN DEMAND
for nonresidential construction
bruising presidential election and

a tightening labor market are
prompting reservations about
future spending for nonresidential
building, even as the construction industrys
performance has staved off most gloomand-doom scenarios.
Total spending for nonresidential building
was up nearly 11%, to $103.3 billion, in the
rst quarter. The Census Bureau estimated
that the value of nonresidential building put
in place rose 3.1% in April compared to
April 2015, to an annualized $461.8 billion,
spurred by robust building of hotels, ofces,
and entertainment/amusement centers.
The construction sector is likely to be
the economic tailwind in the U.S., predicts
Kermit Baker, PhD, Chief Economist with
the American Institute of Architects.
Baker and chief economists Ken Simonson of the Associated General Contractors of America and Alex Carrick of CMD
Construction Data expect nonresidential
construction spending to increase 910%
this year and 48% in 2017. More than
one-third of AGCs membership expects
there will be more work to bid on this year
than last year, particularly in the retail, warehouse, lodging, and ofce sectors.
The trio of economists raised a number
of red ags about factors that could slow
construction spending. Market fundamentals remain positive, but are fading in most
sectors, said Baker.
Carrick and Simonson are less sanguine
about spending for education-related
projects, mainly because growth gures for
4- to 17-year-olds and 18- to 26-year-olds
are either at lining or receding.
Simonson noted that recent legislation
passed by Congress extends tax credits
and allows for more federal dollars to ow
into construction. But the federal government is reducing its overall physical foot-

LEAN PRACTICES, AND ENGINEERING SERVICES
ontractors need to be nimble enough to position themselves for whatever the

market yields. We want to be a must consider for every project, and to be
that, we must constantly improve, says Pat Di Filippo, Executive Vice President of Turners Northeast region.
For the past several years, design-build has accounted for 1015% of Turners
work. If youre going to do design-build, you have to be able to drive the design,
Di Filippo says. The company is also pursuing projects more aggressively via publicprivate partnerships.
Last year, the company launched Turner Engineering Group, which now has 16
experts. Di Filippo, who leads the group, says there is a tremendous thirst for TEGs
services throughout the company. Its services have been expanded to include design
peer review.
One recent project where TEG is providing services is the $114 million Center for
Cyber Security Studies at the U.S. Naval Academy, which the design-build team of
Turner and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has been selected to deliver. The 206,400-sf
facility will include a research and testing tank to support its engineering and weapons
labs, an observatory, ofces, and collaborative spaces for students and faculty.
Turner also has been cultivating its self-perform capabilities, such as concrete pouring. Last year, it hired nine regional Lean practice managers to streamline construction
and reduce costs.
Making Turner a Lean practices company is a work in progress. But the results are
moving in the right direction, Di Filippo says.
He is cautiously optimistic about business, especially in New York City, where several mega-projects are in the works. Were geared up for opportunities, he says.

None of the economists anticipates a

Airports in Europe and Asia have already
revamped customs procedures for international arrivals. In the past, passengers
presented their passports before getting their
pre-screening mobile apps that speed up the

customs process. Passengers enter biographical and ight information that can be

ights. This may require more ight information screens, though many passengers are
using their mobile electronic devices for
status updates.
Airport operators want to get passengers through security and into the
concession area as quickly as possible.
When passengers are more relaxed, they
are more likely to shop, says Enrique Melendez, Leidoss Market Technology Leader. Every airport operator wants to boost revenue
via more and better concessions.
With concessions essentially becoming
gate holding areas, there is an opportunity
for merchants to bring their products to the
people, Brady says. Dynamic, personalized
advertising can allow waiting passengers to
order and pay for food or goods on their mobile devices, then dash into the store to pick
up their ordersor even have them delivered
to their seats. Retailers might even want to
demonstrate products in front of waiting passengers. Plenty of space to accommodate
such sales techniques, comfortable seating,
and ample smartphone charging outlets will
be needed to optimize this strategy.
The recent introduction of Airbuss giant
A380 model, which holds up to 544 passengers, means gates have to be expanded to
accommodate boarding and disembarking the
megaplane. When one comes in, 500 passengers are looking for a bathroom as soon as
they get off the plane, says Gaverette. More
and bigger bathrooms might be needed as
more of these behemoths take to the skies.
The demand for design and construction
services to provide additional capacity and
modernize terminals bodes well for AEC
rms working in the airport market. Those
trends should result in several years of strong
demanda welcome change from the doldrums of the Great Recession.

methods. Theres been a growing trend
where the built environment has been inuencing professional development, says
Kerri Ranney, AIA, Huckabees Director of
Learning and Strategic Development. We
now are at a tipping point.
She admits there is great variability in
how quickly schools are changing. Some
clients are willing to jump far ahead in
changing the pedagogy and learning environment, Ranney says. Others just move
a couple of ticks.
The impact on design of mobile computing devices, movable furniture, team
teaching styles, and more collaborative
project work means most architects are
creating classrooms far different from the
ones in which they were educated. When
a radical concept arises it helps to visualize what the alternatives could be in a
mock environment like LEx Labs.

Smith, AIA, LEED AP, Principal, BBS
Architects & Engineers. Parents know
a lot about their kids education. Their
expectations are bigger, and theyre more
involved, Smith says.
To generate funding support for major

new projects, school districts often mix in
amenities that can be used by the whole
community. These features include old
standbys such as athletic elds, gymnasiums, and auditoriums, but with new twists.
KSS Architects designed a combination
facility that is best described as an auditorium with a gym built into it for Gottesman RTW Academy, a private school in
northern New Jersey.
They wanted the space to look like an
auditorium, not like a gym, says Merilee
Meacock, AIA, LEED AP, Partner, KSS
Architects. A higher-end aesthetic was
important. They wanted to display their
identity such that performance was a
higher priority than athletics. An accent
wall/proscenium/cloud ceiling creates a
room-within-a-room effect. Resilient and
durable materials ensured that the space
would hold up to gym use.
The Jewish day school uses the space
for high-holiday services, so the room had
to look the part. This adaption helped generate nancial support for the newly
constructed school.
KSSs design also had a strong
narrative based on a Hebrew phrase
meaning heal the earth to relate to
stakeholders. The building was integrated within the natural contours
of the hilly, wooded site. Retaining
walls were built with rock blasted
from the site during construction.
A garden and greenhouse provide for

gardens and sometimes help cook what
theyve grown. They can see the life cycle

Space exibility is critical to classroom

design. Spaces have to be adaptable, even
allowing for drastic changes such as, say,
a doubling of classroom size. Meacock
recommends that walls separating classrooms should not be load bearing. Shared
spaces must also be able to accommodate
multiple uses. The tables in the dining hall
at the Gottesman school can be removed
so that the space can be used for science
lab projects.
More than ever, designers must consider

he skyrocketing cost of housing in

major U.S. cities is inspiring new
concepts to make apartment living
more affordable for Millennials,
GenXers, and Boomers.
Affordable housing is the major concern in
cities today, says Brian Ward, AIA, LEED AP,
Director of Design, Niles Bolton Associates.
Ward predicts cities will be gearing up to legislate housing affordability into zoning codes.
He says hard-pressed municipalities need to
establish an honest dialogue among city
leaders, the lending community, designers,
and real estate interests as the way to achieve
solutions that sustain growth while providing
housing opportunities for the middle-class.
To address the affordability problem and
attract tenants, owners and developers are
experimenting with smaller and smaller units,
amenity-rich environments, and co-living
concepts.

Fairbrother says the current housing
paradigm is aimed at adapting space to
better t user needs and facilitating social
connection. Many of our projects are about
incorporating residential more uidly into the
urban fabric, with connectivity to retail, dining,
and entertainment, he says. Its also a more
sustainable approach to achieving density in
urban areas.
ONWARD AND UPWARD

WITH AMENITY SPACES
Individual units may be shrinking, but specialty amenity spaces are ourishing.
The new Millennium on LaSalle will offer a
musical practice space with a recording booth
as just one of its planned unique spaces. The
216-unit apartment tower, an adaptive reuse
of a 14-story Jenney & Murdie ofce tower
(completed in 1902) in the Chicago Loop, is
being designed by FitzGerald Associates Architects. The conversion includes the addition
of a top-oor amenity level and landscaped
roof deck, a basement that incorporates a
large screening room, two console game

media rooms, a computer lounge, and a dog
washroom.
Everyone is trying to nd that next appeal,
whether its a maker space, a bike lounge,
or a place to play and record your musical
instrument, says Mike DeRouin, CSI, CCCA,
the design rms President. But theres
another segment of the population that just
wants to live in a quiet building. Weve also
got several clients that are building small
boutique apartment buildings with limited
amenities that are close to transit.

increasingly valued by
urban dwellers, transit-oriented developments may
be catching on. People
want to live close to mass
transit, where they work
and where they play,
without relying on a car,
and theyre willing to live in
a smaller apartment to do
that, says Stuart Lachs,
AIA, LEED AP, Principal,
Perkins Eastman.
TODs are also cutting
back voluntarily on their
parking spaces. In some
cases, we are designing
less than one parking
space per dwelling unit,
says Lachs. Municipalities
used to set a minimum
number of parking
spaces; now they are setting maximums.
ENLIVENING
SPORTS AND
ENTERTAINMENT
DISTRICTS
The John Buck Company is the developer for

3Eleven, a 24-story, 245-unit apartment building. The site is the parking lot of Assumption
Roman Catholic Church, in Chicagos River
North neighborhood. The land owner, the Order
of Friars Servants of Mary, will get renovations
to its priory out of the deal. The transit-oriented
project will provide parking for 109 cars and
50 bicycles, plus 3,000 sf of ground-oor retail.
FitzGerald Associates Architects is the designer.
Victory Park, a $3 billion

residential and commercial
district northwest of downtown Dallas, is
capitalizing on the opportunity to leverage
one of the nations most popular sports and
entertainment venues. Anchored by American Airlines Center, home to the NBA Dallas
Mavericks and the NHL Dallas Stars, the 75acre development encompasses more than
a thousand residences. Four additional high-
rise residential buildings under construction

will add nearly 2,000 upscale apartments to
the district by 2018.
Weve realized that the areas surrounding the facilities that house our favorite
teams and performers need to function on
multiple levels to truly be successful, says
Tom Brink, AIA, LEED AP, Vice President,
CallisonRTKL. We need to take these developments from game day to every day
destinations. Multifamily residential can
help achieve that goal, he says.
In Los Angeles, three luxury residential
towers rising in the heart of downtowns
South Park neighborhood seek to transform
the city from an in-and-out destination to a
permanent dwelling place. Located across
from Staples Center and the LA Live entertainment complex, Oceanwide Plaza will
house 504 condominiums, a 183-key hotel,
and event spaces. The trio of towersslated
for completion in late 2018rise from a
200,000-sf retail podium surrounded by a
large lawn, childrens playground, pool, and
running track.
CallisonRTKLs Brink notes that our
economy and culture are heavily inuenced
by the sports and entertainment industry. To
make residential developments based on
sports and entertainment feel like home, he
says, We have to address everything from
logistical concerns, such as careful integration of parking and security, to the livability
and authenticity of the community.

Some have created tools that aid designers ability to more precisely compare the
projected energy performance of various
design concepts, materials, and equipment

array of options early in the design process.
Occupant wellness and comfort have

dig deeper into data. For Diamond Schmitt,

existing energy models only go so far. We
have a diverse portfolio, and we dont
do prescriptive design, Szabo says. To
improve the quality of data for its project
types, the rm, in collaboration with the
engineering rm RWDI, developed a visual
database with energy simulation models.
The models take energy-load information
from the rms portfolio and extrapolate
predictive data that is used in the early
stages of design.
There are a series of lterslocation,
heating, process loads, etc.so you can
drill down beyond a single measure of energy usage per square meter, Szabo says.
This allows us to ask the right questions
about the core issues that make projects
perform more efciently.
On a recent master-planning project for a
mixed-use development, the tool helped the
rm and the client choose from among three
possible site congurations to nd the best
orientation for energy efciency.
ZGF Architects has also found existing
databases, such as Energy Star, lacking.
The rm specializes in the design of hospitals, laboratories, and research facilities, all
of which have higher-than-average energy
loads. The actual performance of these
buildings is driven largely by the program,
says Associate Partner Vikram Sami, AIA,
BEMP, LEED BD+C.
Using publicly available data from the
Department of Energy, ASHRAE, and its
own projects, ZGF developed an energyload database for such project types. The
data is stored on Microsoft Excel and maps
to Revit. Designers lter the data according
to the program of individual spaces

climate, equipment loads, and other
factorsto get fairly reliable answers to
what-if questions about energy demand
and savings. ZGFs Energy Programming
Dashboard helps its designers obtain
energy load information on individual
pieces of equipmentpumps, heating
units, lighting xtureswhich can then be
combined to create the optimal aggregation of equipment.
ON THE WELLNESS FRONT

ZGF has teamed up with researchers
at the University of Washington on
Lark Spectral Lighting. The tool allows
designers to use spectral data to dene
how the quality of light impacts not only a
physical space, but also the occupants.
The color and quality of light affect
humans circadian rhythms, sleeping
patterns, and alertness, which can impact
employee productivity.
The spectral content of light sources
changes as the light bounces off of
surfaces, says ZGF Associate Ed Clark,
LEED AP BD+C. The choice of materials and color schemes for ceilings, walls,
oors, and furniture inuences the quality
of light. Darker colors absorb light; lighter
colors are more reective. The Lark tool
(free download at: www.food4rhino.com/
project/lark) provides a model that helps
designers congure optimal combinations
of lights and interior materials.

Architects encountered this in its work for

Burlington Stores.
The off-price retailer wanted its new
headquarters in New Jersey to appeal
to Millennials. KSSs design encourages
workers to get out of their chairs and move
about the facility during the day. A large
caf has extensive indirect daylighting,
bright colorscapes, and long, Europeanstyle tables. The space is busy throughout
the workday, not just at mealtimes, notes
Ed Klimek, AIA, NCARB, Partner, KSS
Architects.
Small nooks outtted with furniture are
spread throughout the building. Outdoor
seating is arranged on the north side of
the structure. These features are tailored
especially for the young professionals accustomed to working untethered from their
desks. The design was a

response to an emerging
generation of people with
new expectations of what
a workplace should be,
Klimek says.
Elevators are pushed to
the side of a large, sweeping staircase to encourage
employees to take the
stairs. Spaces that foster physical activity
and add variability to workspaces, seating
postures, and sceneryare believed to
promote a healthier style of work.
The project included many LEED-blessed
approaches, but the owner chose not to
apply for certication. Its less about getting
the plaque and more about how design can

AGE-SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY AIDS
design for the mobility impaired

Wes Tafoya, an architectural intern
with Corgan, ascends stairs wearing
the GERT suit at the rms Dallas
headquarters. The headphones
mimic high-frequency hearing loss
and tinnitus. The glasses simulate
impaired vision. The weights, wraps,
and gloves replicate joint stiffness,
reduced grip, and loss of coordinationeven back pain and paralysis.
To see what its like to wear the
GERT suit in an airport, go to: http://
bit.ly/28LDkPT.
COURTESY CORGAN
The goal is to elevate awareness of this issue and make sure

that were designing with these
folks in mind, says Steiner.
At the heart of the Corgan
study is the GERontologic Test
suit (GERT), an age-simulation ensemble that incorporates weights,
gloves, glasses, wraps, and headphones that tack 40 years of wear
and tear on the user.
Using the GERT suit, Corgan
designers experienced rst-hand
the difculties that the elderly
and mobility impaired confront
every day. They walked through
four Corgan-designed buildingsDallas
Love Field Airport; Daugherty Elementary,
Garland, Texas; Moncrief Cancer Institute,
Fort Worth; and Corgans headquarters in
Dallas. They completed a series of tasks at
each location, once wearing the GERT suit
and once without.
Simple exercisesgrabbing a can of
soda from a refrigerator, pulling a roller suitcase through an airport terminal, carrying
books down a school hallway, climbing a
staircase, working on a desktop computer,
taking notes, locating a specic binder on a
bookshelfwere excruciatingly difcult for
many of the users.
It took participants 5273% longer to
y 2030, a fth of the U.S. population will be 65 or older, according to the Census Bureau. This
cohort and succeeding generations are expected to live longer than their
predecessors, and remain much more
active into their later years.
Michael Steiner, AIA, LEED AP, an Associate with Corgan, recently collaborated with
the rms Francie Abell, Interior Designer, and
Landon Moore, Architect, on an age-simulation research project. The goal: to better
understand the stresses and anxieties that
the 65+ and the mobility-impaired population
face when navigating spaces like medical
facilities, workplaces, schools, and airports.

than without it.
LESSONS LEARNED
Based on their observations (see sidebar),
Corgans team offers the following takeaways:
Consider waynding strategies with
multiple elements and large signs. Participants tended to look down and reacted
more slowly, which led them to miss signage. Waynding strategies that incorporate
both oor and wall elements could help
improve communication.
Investigate signage locations with
areas of bright light and intense shadow.
Consider lms or frits to help reduce the
amount of glare and strong shadows. Minimize the use of white nishes in brightly lit
spaces, which can cause glare.
Include fatigue mitigation stations.
Break up long distances with areas where
occupants can rest and conrm the correct
direction.
Avoid changes in level along primary
pathways. Make sure elevator/escalator
cores are readily visible and accessible.
Design with multiple senses in mind. Some
users use sight, others depend on touch,
sound, or smell.
Provide seating of different levels (e.g.,
standard seats, high seats, and something
to lean on).
White text on green was by far the
most preferred signage method. White
text on blue was also very effective. Backlit
signage is highly recommended.
Avoid using low, protruding objects,
such as low chairs and tables.

allocations, says Mike Broge, PE, LEED
AP, Higher Education Market Leader with
Afliated Engineers. That will only worsen an
already signicant backlog of deferred maintenance at many institutions, he says.
Budget constraints are compelling some
public institutions to pursue alternative methods of nancing their major building projects.
The University of Kansas leveraged a
public-private partnership to initiate a $350
million redevelopment of its central district.
The P3 deal includes a 265,000-sf integrated
science building, a 40,000-sf student union,
a central utility plant, student housing, and
infrastructure upgrades. Most of the projects
are scheduled for completion in mid-2018.
The University of Kentucky is among
the schools that are enlisting developers
to oversee their large on-campus projects.
Memphis-based EdR is developing 14 new
residence halls totaling 2.6 million sf on
the Lexington campus. Two buildings are
scheduled to open this fall; the others will be
completed next summer.
This approach keeps costs off universities
books while still allowing them to stay ahead
of the competitive curve with their facilities and
on-campus amenities, says Tim Steigerwald,
SVP with Messer Construction.
Lack of capital has also contributed to a
surge in master planning projects. Steigerwald
says the University of Wisconsin is developing
master plans for at least three large colleges,
plus an overall campus infrastructure master

plan. The goal: to achieve more efcient use of
existing facilities through lower-cost renovations and spatial recongurations, thus avoiding costly additions or new facilities.
THE RISE OF INNOVATION

SPACES ON CAMPUS
To better equip students to excel in their future
work environments, schools are developing
a range of innovation spaces that promote
hands-on, cross-disciplinary learning, foster
unique business and industry partnerships,
and encourage entrepreneurship.
Jeff Stebar, AIA, LEED AP, Higher Education Practice Leader at Perkins+Will, says
that a phenomenon he calls serendipitous
cross-pollination can occur across multiple
disciplines working together in the same
place. Such a structure models the 21stcentury workplace and adds richness to the
educational experience. These spaces are
typically owned by everyone, not by any specic college or dean, he says.
Thats the idea behind the Collaborative
Learning and Innovation Complex at Tufts
University, Medford, Mass. Designer Stantec is
transforming a 100-year-old warehouse into a
new 95,000-sf facility that will house seven departments, ranging from physics and robotics
to human development and community health.
The teaching/research building incorporates
open research labs shared by multiple areas of
study, along with public social zones to foster
interdepartmental collaboration. The project
is part of a new Science and Technology
Corridor that will also include a new 80,000-sf
Science and Engineering Complex, designed
by Payette. It is scheduled to open in 2017.
At the University of Utah, Lassonde Studios, designed by CannonDesign and Yazdani

can build a prototype, attend an event, or

launch a business. Opening this fall, the facility
has been designed to advance the universitys
nationally ranked entrepreneurship program.
College libraries are also adapting to include
technology-driven laboratories, informal
group study workspaces, and cafs. A new
220,000-sf library under construction on
Temple Universitys main campus in Philadelphia will replace an existing 1960s-era facility
with a dynamic, technology-rich environment.
Designed by Snhetta and Stantec, the $170
million project will accommodate Temples
2.5-million volume collection, student study
space, research space, and staff areas.
A renewed interest in health careers is
fueling demand for new health profession
classroom buildings, clinical labs, and
health-related research facilities.
This trend is due in large part to a growing
number of students who

recognize the career opportunities afforded by a healthcare industry in the midst
of a signicant workforce
shortage, says Steve Rhoades, PE, LEED AP,
Managing Principal, KJWW.
A 70,000-sf addition to the Columbia
University nursing school is currently under
construction in Manhattan. Designed by CO
Architects and FXFOWLE, the seven-story
structure will supplement the schools existing
classroom facilities with healthcare simulation
technology, research facilities, and collaboration space. Expected to open in 2017, the
building will include mock operating rooms,

can hone their nursing skills.

The National Retail Federation estimates

total retail sales will increase 3.1% in 2016
over last year. But bricks-and-mortar dealers
continue to struggle, as evinced by bankruptcies (Sports Authority, Aeropostale) and bleak
earnings reports (Macys, Nordstrom, Target).
Online sales, now 7.7% of the total, could hit
11% by 2018, predicts Forrester Research.

RETAIL REPORT
ONE SIZE NO LONGER fits all in retail
n Q1/2016, 70.2 million sf of retail space
was under construction, compared to 57.2
million sf in Q1/2015. In the Dallas metro
area, the four million sf of retail space under
construction in Q1 represented a 73.9% YOY
increase, according to JLL.
Tenants and developers are pondering
how much space they need, and how best to
use it.
Office supplier Staples has halved the footprint for its stores to 12,000 sf. NORRs Anthony Ricciuti notes that one client, CVS, is working on a 6,0009,500-sf prototype for urban
infill and small towns; its standard drugstore is
10,00016,000 sf. The pharmacy department
will stay the same size in both.
Texas didnt get the memo about the
downsizing trend. EMJ Corporation started
construction last year on the Outlet Shop-
56
pes of Laredo, where 358,000 sf will house at

least 53 retail stores. Ray Catlin, EMJs Executive VP, says the site, located along the Rio
Grande, made it necessary to stack the building on two levelsunusual for an outletwith
covered parking on the ground floor.
EMJ is working on two huge lifestyle centers. The 400,000-sf, Target-anchored Grand
Parkway Marketplace, in Spring, Texas, 25
miles north of Houston, will have a restaurant
village around a pond with fountains. The
500,000-sf West Towne Marketplace, on 63
acres in El Paso, will have a Walmart, a large
grocery retailer, a big-box sporting goods
store, specialty shops, restaurants, and a
29,050-sf movie theater.
People are always going to shop, eat out,
and go to the movies, says Catlin. I see
retail becoming more like entertainment.

The mirrors, devised by Oak Labs, read
bar codes on clothing tags. Numbers pop up
on the mirror and shoppers can call up item
details, and try different colors and styles.
Requests for help are delivered via iPad to an
associate, who can send a text that appears
on the mirror with his or her name and photo.
The Oak Interactive Fitting Rooms can also
provide dealers with tons of customer and
inventory management data.
Shawmut just completed work on Cadillac House, in New Yorks SoHo district. The
12,000-sf auto dealership and showroom
opened June 2. It has an incubator space for

created.
Companies cant get offices built fast
enough. When CDM Smith selected Margulies Peruzzi Architects to design its new
120,000-sf global headquarters in Boston,
the job had to be done in seven months.
The solution: Use 5,000 sf of prefabricated
wall panel systems with electrical and audiovisual integration (supplied by DIRTT), which
shaved months off the build schedule.
Highland Associates Glenn Leitch says
that hes seen average office space shrink
from 300 sf per person to around 150 sf.
His firm designed a 180,000-sf office
building (which it also built, with Turner Construction) for the pharmaceutical company
Celgenes Summit, N.J., campus with smaller
meeting rooms tricked out with technology.
Glass-enclosed bump-outs provide collaboration space. Highland moved conference
rooms to the interior and put workstations
and offices on the periphery to give workers
more exposure to daylight.
This also breaks up the offices hierarchy, says Eric Scott, RA, an architect with
Highland Associates.

Chicago, it sent in a team to observe worker

poorly located, too small, or had insufcient

The Francis Crick Institute, which opens this summer in London, epitomizes the trend in science

includes HOK (architect and lead designer), AKT-II (SE), Arup (PM, services engineer), CBRE (planning

Cordless (ICT consultant), Exova Warrington (re consultant), and Horus (security consultant).

The 980,000-sf, $931 million facility is the

brought together three of the U.K.s heaviest

The design emphasizes communal space
by enabling people to peer into multiple oors,
according to Larry Malcic, AIA, LEED GA,

he said, is to put science on display and
promote collaboration.
Projects like The Crick practically force

are a lot more buildings with oddball combinations of sciences, says HDR Design Principal

In Seattle, the 270,000-sf headquarters
of the Allen Institute is programmed for team

NCARB, Managing Director, Perkins+Will, Seattle. She says the institute wanted to break
down walls between carpet people (managers) and vinyl people (researchers).
The building, which opened last December,
focuses on brain and cell sciences. It is organized in a series of petals grouped around a
six-story atrium. Cantilevered into the atrium
are glass-walled collaboration pods outtted
with comfortable seating and whiteboards. In
any part of the building, you can see science
and meetings going on, says Kornovich.
Saving money can be the impetus for

Some S+T facilities are incorporating
business development into their objectives. Half of the space in the H&S building at
the University of Houston will be used to train
future pharmacists, and the other half for drug
discovery research. This trend might explain
why computational, simulation, and STEM
labs are all the rage now. The incubator mentality is creeping into labs, says HDRs Rew.

Merrill, in collaboration with the U.S. Energy
Departments Oak Ridge National Laboratory,

AMIE 1.0 is a 3D-printed building designed
to produce and store renewable power and
share energy wirelessly with a 3D-printed
vehicle developed by the DOE. The project
aimed to demonstrate the use of bidirectional
wireless energy technology and high-performance materials to achieve independence
from the power grid at peak-demand periods.
Philip Enquist, FAIA, SOMs Partner in
Charge of Urban Design and Planning, sees
AMIE 1.0 as the beginning of a new chapter
in building for a resilient future.

UNO hockeys good times keep rollin on.
Last fall, the school opened the $86 million,

oor-to-ceiling windows, light is drawn in
during the day; at night, visitors outside the
building can peer in and see the ice.
In addition to concerts, shows, and
lectures, Baxter Arena has emerged as the
preferred setting for local graduation ceremonies. The Omaha World-Herald reported
that 13 area high schools booked the arena

The Pavilion Club on the eastern side of
the arena serves as multi-use club space
between basketball and football seasons.
Since its right across a walkway from Vaught
Hemingway Stadium, it will be a pre-game

Even on non-game days during the week,
students can access a food court just inside
the north arena entry. It features two concession stands and comfortable seating, with a

MIXING SPORTS AND

ACADEMICS IN SOUTH BEND
The University of Notre Dame is undertaking an even more complex sports/academic
project. The South Bend, Ind., school is in
the throes of turning Notre Dame Stadium
into the hub of the campus. Total stadium
capacity is being enlarged by 3,0004,000
seats. Vinyl-clad benches are replacing wood
bench seats, and a new video board and
ribbon boards are being installed.
But the upgrade doesnt stop at the
stadium ticket window. Three new academic buildings are being built onto the
stadium. The Campus Crossroads Project
will add more than 800,000 sf of classroom,
research, digital media, event, and student
life space.

Lendleases use of CLT, which is made

billion over the next ve years to its Sydney,
Australia-based startup, Design Make, which
is dedicated to manufacturing prefabricated

he United States Army has enough

on its plate without having to worry
about operating as a hotel manager,
too.
On the heels of a U.S. Government Accountability Ofce report that showed that
more than 80% of Army lodging needed repairs or replacementat an estimated price
tag of $1.8 billion over 20 yearsthe Army
kicked its Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL)
program into high gear.
By privatizing the construction, renovation,
operation, maintenance, and ownership of
its hotels (it is the only military branch to do
so), the Army expects to cut that 20-year
timetable down to eight years.
Lendlease is a key partner in the PAL
program, serving as the exclusive developer
and owner of the hotels (the Army owns the

land). InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is

the PAL hotel operator under the Holiday Inn
Express brand (for renovated Army hotels)
and Candlewood Suites name (for newly
constructed hotels).
The relationship between the Department
of Defense, the Army, Lendlease, and IHG
has produced lodging that has far exceeded
anything created before PAL went into effect.
For instance, the 310-room extended-stay
hotel built on Joint Base San Antonio, completed in 2014, is the largest Candlewood
Suites in the world.
The recently completed 92-room Candlewood Suites at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., is the rst cross-laminated timber
structure on a U.S. military installation and
the rst all-CLT hotel under any ownership
type in the country.

The Redstone Arsenal
hotel represents a small portion of the PAL

CLT lends itself to structures with a repetitive
room types, such as hotels, there is a good
chance the Redstone Arsenal project will

HOUSE APPROVES $81B

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION BILL
With a vote of 277 to 147, the House on
May 19 passed the Military Construction
and Veterans Affairs bill, which, if enacted,
would provide $81.6 billion in discretionary
funding for the sectors in 2017. The total is
$1.8 billion more than the 2016 budget, but
$1.2 billion short of what President Obama
requested.
Contained within the bill is funding to
house, train, and equip military personnel,
provide housing and services to military families, and maintain infrastructure.
Nearly 10% of the total ($7.9 billion) would
be used for large- and small-scale military
construction projects at military bases in the
U.S. and abroad. The allocation marks a
$305 million decrease from scal year 2016,
but is $250 million more than the Presidents
request.
Other allocations of note:
$172 million for Overseas Contingency
Operations and European Reassurance
Initiative projects involving overseas bases
$1.3 billion for the construction, operation,
and maintenance of military family housing; while meeting the Presidents budget
request, it is $84 million off the budgeted
amount in FY2015
$304 million for the construction and alteration of military medical facilities
$673 million for construction projects at
National Guard and Reserve facilities across
21 states
$900 million for VA construction projects
$246 million for safety improvements and
infrastructure work at DOD Education
Activities facilities.

RECONSTRUCTION REPORT
FACELIFTS GIVE BUILDINGS NEW IDENTITIES,
even as they keep a few wrinkles

MASON FISCHER PHOTOGRAPHY
The $24 million renovation of the historic Van

Antwerp building in Mobile, Ala., involved working on a tight urban site and reconstituting the
building for corporate and mixed-use tenants.
Renovations included an 11-story addition, a
new parking deck, and completely new interiors. The Building Team consisted of Goodwyn
|Mills| Cawood (architect and designer), Doster
Construction (GC), and Thompson Engineering
(engineer).

he buzzword in real estate

circles these days is asset
repositioningtaking a
down-on-its-luck property,
usually an older ofce building, and
revaluing it through reconstruction.
More often today, such projects
sprinkle in fresh mixed-use ingredientsapartments, condos, retail
outlets, restaurants, even entertainment venues.
It all comes down to amenities
and the quality of the space, says
John Clegg, AIA, LEED AP, Principal
of Design in Pages Houston ofce.
Reconstruction, says Clegg, is
always a balancing act between
the clients pro forma and what the
building needs to be vibrant again.
Pages work at 1100 Louisiana in
Houston is an example of a lowcost solution that involved refreshing the lobby with new furniture,
lighting, signage, and amenitiesin
this case, a Starbucks.
At 811 Louisiana, more drastic
measures were called for. A major
tenant had moved out, and the
owner needed to attract a new
lessee. Page proposed resetting the
interiors of the rst ve oors and
recladding the exterior to give the
building greater curb appeal. The
desired effect was to change the identity of
the building itself, says Clegg.
One Main Place, in Dallas, is another
example of a distinguished property that had
fallen on hard times. One Main Place was
designed in the 1950s by Skidmore, Owings &
Merrills Gordon Bunshaft, but it was only 30%
leased after prime tenants like Bank of America
and Ernst & Young had pulled up stakes.
ForrestPerkins, acting as architect of record and interior designer, led the conversion
of the 10 upper oors of the 32-story structure into the Westin Dallas Downtown326
guest rooms, two restaurants, a top-oor
swimming pool, ballroom, and guest suite.
The second oor, with 25-foot-high ceilings, was converted into a public space.
A porte cochre was added for the hotel.
Separate entrances were provided for the
ground-oor restaurant (NOLA Brasserie)
and the ofces. A 5,000-sf glass-enclosed
Willow Pavilion was nestled within an existing
20,000-sf exterior sunken plaza.
The thinking is that the hotel will raise
the ofce space to a higher classication,
says Lawrence Adams, AIA, ForrestPerkinss
Principal in Charge.

RECONSTRUCTION REPORT
PRESERVING THE OLD WHILE INSTALLING THE NEW
he older the building, the more strings that might be attached to it. Historic or landmark
designation can be both a blessing and a curse. The designation can place restrictions on
what can be changed in the building, notes Nicos Katsellis, AIA, Vice President and Director of
Operations for Leo A Daly.
Developer KFK Group wanted to acquire the 1.1 million-sf One Main Place, in Dallas, which
had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. KFK wanted to take advantage of a
historic tax credit offered by the National Park Service. But the historic designation prohibited the
owner from attaching anything structural to the building. To work around this problem, the interiors team designed cantilevered screens and beams for spaces such the lounge, library, and bar.
The dangling of the tax credit had yet another effect, this time on the schedule. KFK wanted to
take advantage of the tax credit in 2015, which forced the Building Team to compress the projects
cycle time to 16 months. This was further complicated by KFKs decision to drop the original contractor, and rebid the job in late 2014. Ultimately, Aguirre Roden was named GC, and the project
was completed.

Leo A Dalys Director of Design.

Nicos Katsellis, AIA, LEED AP BD+C,
EDCA, GGP, Vice President and Director of
Operations for Leo A Daly, says the 46,000-sf
concrete building, which dates to the 1940s,
was structurally sound. But the rm completely renovated the interior, which included moving the center corridor to the side to expose
it to more daylight, and installing clerestories
with translucent panels over the corridor.
Windows were restored with energy-efcient
glazing. The construction of residences had to
take into account columns and windows that
werent always spaced uniformly. To free up
overhead space in the rooms, the team ran
vertical duct shafts from the HVAC system in
the attic into numerous areas of the building.
11-story property, says GMCs Tracy Bassett.

Last year, Leo A Daly completed the
conversion of a former mental hospital on the
Veterans Administrations campus in West
Los Angeles, which had been abandoned for
decades, to permanent therapeutic residences for 65 former homeless veterans. We

envisioned each of the private apartments as
rehabilitative cocoons carved into the fabric
of a historic structure, said Michael Walden,

Hensel Phelps as GC, the single-level facility features an interactive
childrens play zone, expansive atriums and lobbies for large
community gatherings, and a multipurpose community conference
room that can be used for activities such as cooking classes.
Departments that need to be most accessible to the community,
like urgent care, pharmacy, and dental services, are located
near the entrance of the building. Universal signage and intuitive
waynding allow multilingual patients to easily navigate through the
facility. Wood materials, slate tile, expansive skylights, and vaulted
ceilings create warm, modern interior spaces.
GOTHIC HIGH SCHOOL UPDATED WITH

DRAMATIC TUBULAR-STEEL ADDITION
A 43,000-sf addition to Joliet Central High School, designed by

addition, which blends modern features with historical elements
of the 1901 school, features a three-story glass curtain wall
faade that leads to a student center and a 600-seat cafeteria.
The focal point of the design is a freestanding, custom-fabricated
tubular-steel structure that allows the roof to rise 50 feet above
the ground. Instead of completely replacing an exterior limestone
wall, Wight decided to treat it like artwork on the interior of the
new structure. The addition serves as a new front door for the

reduces labor costs by 30-40%.
