3 an historical building with modern functionality - dean susan welch goals for the renovation of burrowes

4 In order to provide modern functionality to this building, the exterior envelope (the exterior walls and windows) must be improved. The exterior envelope will be assessed and renovations made, as necessary. A primary task mentioned in OPP s request for proposal was the replacement or refurbishment of the exterior windows and doors. Our firm, BLT Architects, has replaced historical windows on many buildings and here we re showing our work at the Borland Building. critical considerations exterior envelope window detail

5 The windows and doors in the 1938 portion of the building will be replaced or refurbished, depending upon what is possible without damaging the building and what is possible to maintain the historic character. The 1969 windows and doors will be replaced, perhaps with a different appearance that is more in keeping with the historical context. critical considerations exterior envelope window detail

6 air conditioning and adequate electricity are a must goals for the renovation of burrowes

7 The primary, and most important goal of this renovation is the addition of air conditioning and the whole-sale replacement of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. It is imperative that these systems should be seamlessly integrated into the building. These are some examples of finished renovation projects that BLT has done with new systems. critical considerations mechanical systems

8 priority - new systems: site utilities connect to campus loop new steam service (heat) new electrical service add a sprinkler system new fire alarm systems new plumbing systems add air conditioning date: 10 july 2012 Again, the primary purpose of this project is to make sure that the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are improved. Here is a list of the systems that will be added, replaced or improved. critical considerations mechanical systems concepts

9 To VAV Boxes Serving Each Zone G G date: 10 july 2012 B New Basement Air-Handling Units It is our hope that the majority of the new equipment will be placed in the sub-basement, with minimal units placed on the roof. There are several options for introducing these systems into the building, either up through the existing building by creating new chases or over and up through new chases in the connectors. critical considerations supply airflow schematic diagram

10 increase the useable space and eliminate the strange configurations find space for student waiting areas provide a faculty lounge increase the number of faculty offices goals for the renovation of burrowes

11 Here are some examples of recent classroom and seminar spaces that BLT has designed at other campus projects. critical considerations offices & conference space

12 For our initial interview, before we had even spoken with the College, BLT developed some possible new configurations and potential imagery for the various portions of the building. The plan above depicts the first floor of the 1938 portion of the building. critical considerations programming

13 After one initial conversation, BLT investigated several options for the wings for new office configurations. These studies will be more fully developed once we have completed our programming phase, which just started on July 10 th. critical considerations options for the wings

14 introduce natural light into the wings on the east and west goals for the renovation of burrowes

15 On the left is the current plan of the connector between 1938 and the wing. On the right is the west elevation of the south wing. If there are sufficient funds available after all of the various mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems improvements, then this project will be able to make the wings and the connectors more functional and aesthetically pleasing. design alternatives existing

16 For our interview, we sketched some possible answers to the request to resolve the code and connectivity problems with the connectors or knuckles and how to introduce natural light into the wings. This option shows a traditional punched windows at the ends of the wing corridors (to match the existing wing elevations) and potentially at the connectors. This plan begins to address the code problems. design alternatives window option 1

17 This option shows a more extensive, modern full-height glass curtain wall at the ends of the wing corridors. And we ve introduced a glass bay window that houses the interconnecting staircase in the newly rebuilt knuckle with fully code-compliant elevator, restrooms and stair towers. design alternatives window option 2

18 as minimal a disruption to our faculty and staff as possible goals for the renovation of burrowes

19 This depicts the overall schedule for the initial Phase 1 of the Burrowes renovation presuming that all goes according to plan. schedule - overview

20 This image depicts the project as conceived by OPP. The original intent is to begin by renovating the 1938 center portion of the building. phasing scheme a

21 This phasing option was presented in the interview; this indicates the possibility of including one or both of the knuckles along with the center. But we now feel that this is not a viable option. phasing scheme b

22 This phasing option indicates the possibility of starting the renovations in one wing and knuckle, then proceeding to the other wing and knuckle before completing the center renovation. In this scheme, the mechanical equipment work would still commence in the sub-basement. The renovation projects will be self-contained so that all asbestos abatement, replacement of windows, new air conditioning, replacement electrical systems, and new ceiling/floor/wall finishes would take place within each building portion by phase shown above. phasing scheme c

23 BLT is investigating the possibility of reclaiming program space within the center portion of the building as restrooms, elevators and/or stairs become obsolete with the new construction within the knuckles. phasing scheme d

24 Potential: date: 10 july Credits = Gold The University desires LEED certification for renovation projects; an initial tallying of points indicates that Gold may be achievable. sustainability concerns leed checklist
