STEM Building Renovating
Learning Objectives Today
o Understand the architectural challenges of using older building stock for modern science.
o Recognize the need for a plan.o Understand what architectural components
should be considered as a part of that plan.

What’s the big picture?
The Mellon Institute Problem
Overbearing / Uninviting Old looking / feeling Compartmentalized / Inflexible
No Identity- Labs and Corridors
Labs and Corridors
How Do We Devise a Solution?
-No space for new building-Old tired existing building-Compartmentalized, anti-collaborative-Great Infrastructure-Outdated MEP systems-Unrelated renovation projects being done
?
We created a plan collaboratively
1. Met with University2. Created a plan with a cohesive solution
7 PLANNING PRINCIPLES TO APPLY
7 Planning Principles
1. Define your project’s Vision & Mission.
2. Understand who is affected & get their input.
3. Understand the broad goals needed to achieve the V & M.
4. Understand your existing conditions- Assets & Liabilities.
5. Determine how your goals will impact your program.
6. Plan for scalability.
7. Provide a revitalization plan with a marketable image.

Broad Goals:
1. Encourage open interaction among a diversity of people brought together to do science.
2. Create an exciting place to do science.
3. Foster collaboration and creative thought.
4. Raise the bar- Raise the building to level of the science being done in it.
5. Redefine how the building is “lived in”.
6. Create an engaging experience of the building.

Current collaborative labs:
Neurobiology / Psychology
Chemistry / Biology Chemistry / Biology
How can we achieve collaborative space?
Typical S.F. impact:• 10% of program
Research Components:• Shared Instrumentation• Shared Imaging Equipment• Shared collaborative work areas• Café that encourages accidental meetings

7. Identify successful benchmark buildings / spaces.
Screen Wall- delineates “my space” vs. “your space”
Introduce Food & Coffee- adding food and coffee where it was once forbidden has greatly increased library utilization
Exterior Views- Professors have indicated that study / collaborative areas with exterior views are utilized almost around the clock
Varied Seating- different seating types for different people and different uses.
HUNT LIBRARY
Screening - Daylight glare mitigated by shades
Whiteboards provides a surface for collaborating on- whiteboards are thoroughly utilized campus wide when implemented properly
Lighting- excellent lighting- combination up / down indirect / direct
Exterior Views- Professors have indicated that study / collaborative areas with exterior views are utilized almost around the clock
Surface Material Changes changing flooring and other surfaces defines the space
GATES HILMAN COMPUTER SCIENCE BUILDING
Screen Wall- delineates “my space” vs. “your space”
Knee Wall- delineates “my space” vs. “your space”
Columns- delineate space without closing it off
Varied Seating- different seating for different people and different uses.
Crowded- crowded is almost preferred- allows for people watching, showing off your micro-thin laptop, etc.
Displays- says something about what the organization is by showcasing its products
Varied Table Heights- different tables for different people and different uses.Music Cool factor
THE STARBUCK’S PHENOMENA
