K. Construction cost forecast and timing decisions for capital projects VermeulensJames Vermeulen, PQS, LEED AP, Construction Economist – Managing Principal Blair Tennant, LEED AP, Construction Economist – Associate Principal

Mounting pressure on construction costs will impact all science facility projects on the drawing boards, both new construction and renovations. Attend this session to get better pricing and more accurate budget figures, and better understand construction cost drivers for different academic science programs. James Vermeulen and Blair Tennant deliver up-to-date construction cost forecasts based on government spending trends, commodity prices, and cost data from more than 100 projects. Using analyses of equities, GDP, and construction labor markets, they illustrate regional construction pricing targets for the next two years, and demonstrate bid and purchasing strategies that lock in costs and reduce risk.

Thursday 2:20 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

L. Maker space: Planning, design, and operations management for a new STEM facility essential Hastings+Chivetta Architects, Inc.Christopher Chivetta, P.E, LEED AP BD+C – Principal/President Preston Scott, RA, LEED AP BD+C – Architect

The rise of project- and problem-based learning for STEM is now in full swing, and “maker spaces,” which enable science and engineering students to design and experiment hands-on with new devices, novel ideas, or develop a new product, are quickly becoming a requisite core to compliment pedagogy. Chris Chivetta and Preston Scott examine how institutions are designing these areas, managing these spaces and programs, how they are staffed, types of equipment, operational challenges, and strategies for facilitating campus wide use. They profile case studies from four institutions and illustrate opportunities and pitfalls to avoid, and associated costs. AIA HSW

Thursday 2:20 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

M. Project cost control strategies from laboratory programming through design and construction Hastings+Chivetta Architects, Inc.Lorraine Logan – Director of Construction Administration Stephanie Wehmeier – Intern Architect

Project costs can quickly spiral out of control during programming, design, and construction of laboratory spaces as seemingly simple decisions can profoundly affect the overall budget. Don’t let this happen to your project! Session leaders examine cost control actions owners can take during each project phase to stay on track, including early establishment of space standards and classroom scheduling policies during programming, key inputs for design-phase decisions on fume hood, utility and building system requirements, and setting change management workflows for construction: Who should be involved, and how design requirements will be maintained during construction.

N. Facility plans for advanced imaging: Critical details for success Perkins + WillMatthew Fickett, AIA – Architect

To get the advertised performance from today’s advanced scientific imaging equipment, buildings and imaging cores must be designed and organized around exacting technical and environmental conditions. Matthew Fickett surveys the array of imaging instruments currently being specified by leading science programs, including electron microscopes, NMRs, spectrometers, and MRIs, and he identifies specific requirements to plan for that affect building structural design, layouts, support equipment, and support space configurations. He sets out facility planning strategies to mitigate the effects of magnetic fields, electromagnetic interference, vibration, and potential hazards produced by the instruments. AIA HSW

Friday 8:05 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

O. An engineer designs an instructional facility, then teaches in it: Post occupancy findings from inside the classroom CRBGerry Williams, PE, LEED AP, CxA – Senior Mechanical Engineer

Gerry Williams has the unique perspective of being both a mechanical engineer for the academic market, as well as an adjunct professor in the STEM facilities that he designs – a unique perspective for learning what works and what doesn’t. In this session, he sets out lessons learned on how facility features really serve the academic program including facility infrastructure as a hands-on training tool, space and technology for “distance learners,” classroom “green screens,” and broadcast production rooms. He identifies specific HVAC equipment details and learning instrumentation features that make or break the learning experience. AIA HSW

Friday 10:35 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

P. STEM facility planning and programming: A framework for defining functional and operational requirements RS&H Michael Paul Vascellaro, AIA, NCARB – Architect - Vice President

Don’t build the wrong building for your science program! The initial planning sessions, the questions asked, the measurable objectives set, and operating model definitions will determine whether you get a facility that supports your institution’s business and instructional goals, or one that doesn’t. Michael P. Vascellaro illustrates how to get at the critical data in project planning and programming sessions, and use that data in decisions on adaptability, interaction, teaching space configurations, and adjacencies. He demonstrates how this translates to facility models that are active and engaging, highly utilized, and adaptable for changes in science and engineering programs. AIA HSW

Friday 10:35 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Q. Making space for maker space: Methods and metrics to build maker culture Flad Architects Stevens Williams, AIA, LEED AP – Principal Stuart Lewis, LEED AP – Planner

Maker space is now seen as an indispensable part of academic engineering and science programs, but for new maker space initiatives to succeed they must be aligned with pedagogical models, existing facility resources, and related academic programs. Session leaders analyze economic, cultural, and generational drivers behind the maker revolution, and the responses that contribute to high-value, long-term facility solutions. They set out programming processes and space metrics that mirror the innovation life-cycle, and solutions for common challenges associated with campuses and infrastructure. They illustrate the advantages of diverse maker space facilities, profile three types of facilities and maker cultures, and distill factors for success. AIA HSW

Friday 11:45 a.m. – 12:40 p.m.

R. Case Study: The Greer Environmental Sciences Center at Virginia Wesleyan College VMDO ArchitectsJoe Atkins, AIA, LEED AP – Principal David McCullough, AIA, PE – Principal/Senior Lab Planner

Virginia Wesleyan CollegeMaynard Schaus – Associate Provost and Professor of Biology Christopher Haley, B.Sc., PhD – Dean of the School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and Professor of Earth Sciences

The Greer Environmental Science Center is Virginia Wesleyan’s response to a surge in enrollment in environmental sciences and biology by more than 100% in 5 years. In this session, leaders detail space types, adjacencies, scientific equipment, and attributes that support this growth, and demonstrate solutions for integrating faculty research with teaching labs including the use of outdoor classrooms and space for hands-on learning and undergraduate research. They illustrate lab and research support configurations for lab prep with freezers, lab storage, field equipment storage, sample processing space, instrumentation labs, a temperature controlled environmental room, and chemical storage.
