PKC & FSU

Our Design Approach

• Project Quality Control– A principal is always in charge of the project and will always attend

project meetings.– An approved program document is used for basis of design.– A record memorandum is generated & distributed at every meeting.– A comprehensive review of our document is done prior to submission– We track the progress of each project and proactively secure

authorization to continue with next phase.– We have in-house updated software – AutoCAD, Autoquotes, KCL.– Updated drawings are issued periodically to the project team.– We will always solicit feedback from the client and project team.

Our Design Approach

• Project Scheduling & Communication– Our firm will map out every project task & identify all

deliverables.– The information will be tracked on a design work calendar

that is updated weekly (information includes description of task, who is responsible and expected completion date).

– Open lines of communication.– Meeting the collective needs of the project team.

Our Design Approach

• Cost Control & Cost Estimating During Pre-Construction & Design Phases to Keep Within Budget– During conceptual/schematic phase, we will provide a

projected cost estimate based on square footage.– An itemized budget will be generated (which will clearly

define the estimated cost of the project).– Budget will be updated periodically in conjunction with any

design changes/updates.– If over-budget, we will launch a value-engineering

exercise to lower the cost (with the participation of the Client and project team).

Our Design Approach

• Energy Efficient Equipment– We will recommend Energy Star-rated equipment providing the

Owner with savings relating to water consumption, exhaust demand and overall utility consumption

– We will include the use of dual-rinse features in dishwashers (reduces water consumption by almost 15-20%)

– The use of a waste pulper system to reduce water consumption and waste volume

– Variable fan drive motors for exhaust hoods– Utilize natural gas for cooking and non-CFC refrigerants on all our

specified refrigeration systems to ensure maximum efficiency and environmentally friendly application

University Center Planning

What Makes A University Center Successful?

• A warm, inviting atmosphere & central location – (The University center should be the “living room” of the

campus).

• There should be a place within the building that celebrates the campus’ culture, history & traditions.

• A place that offers “one-stop shopping” – (i.e. dining, barber shop, post office, fitness center, dry

cleaners, game room, etc).

• Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to meet students’ lifestyles.

• A “major” destination – a place to see and be seen• Successful planning is the key to success.

What’s Inside the University Center?

• Conference/Meeting Rooms• Lecture Hall/Auditorium• Major Event/Entertainment/Function Space• Offices• Stores/Retail/Services, Games, Supplies, Post Office,

Copy Room• Data Access/Wireless, Cyber Café/Lounge• Living Rooms Designed for Different Customers• Foodservice and Vending• Recreational and Fitness

What Are The Challenges?

• Where will the University Center be located? Current location or elsewhere? – Location makes a big difference.

• What food concepts (marché, food court, convenience store, coffee bar, etc) should be available?

• Who should operate them?• How should these spaces be financed?• What should the method of service be? (All-you-care-to-eat or a

la carte?)• Payment methods?• How will conference & catering services be utilized in the new

student center?• How will the food venues in the new student center affect the

residential, catering and/or other retail food offerings elsewhere on your campus?

HOW?

Porter Khouw Consulting, Inc.Student Center Experience…

Brigham Young University, Idaho• Our firm was a partner with the University and FFKR Architects

on the exciting renovation of the Manwaring Student Center on the campus of Brigham Young University in Rexburg, Idaho.

• The goals of the design project were: – Create a gathering place for the entire campus community– Double in size and modernize the operations in the building.

• Opened in the Fall 2009, the Crossroads Food Court is an 18,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art marche-style dining venue designed to be used for a la carte or all-you-care-to-eat styles of service, and includes a 16,500 sq. ft. production kitchen, a central bakery, and commissary.

• This facility serves 800 students over a 30 minute period and 3,000 students during the lunch rush.

• The facility also features refrigerated and frozen goods as well as a catering pick-up area.

Concordia College

• PKC developed a master plan & design program for a new $32 million student center on its campus.

• The Anderson Commons in the new Campus Center opened to rave reviews in Fall 2007.

• The venue is contemporary & inviting with lots of large windows that allow natural light to stream into the servery and dining room.

• The servery features a wide variety of stations including a grill, pizza/pasta station with a wood-burning oven, a deli station, a large soup and salad bar and an Explore station that was designed to offer a variety of ethnic cuisines.

University of Pittsburgh

• The University of Pittsburgh renovated Litchfield Dining Commons following our completion of a campus-wide dining services master plan.

• The goal of this project was to improve overall ambiance, menu variety and selection & customer throughput.– PKC teamed with MCF Architects in Pittsburgh

• The design of this venue centered around innovative platform dining stations with varied types of seating throughout the servery.

• The stations feature an authentic Mongolian grill, wood oven-baked pizzas, international stations, a grill, and a bakery station where breads and pastries are baked on site

University of Connecticut

• Our firm worked with UConn to develop a marche-style food court venue in the Student Center.

• This facility opened in the fall of 2004 and serves as a central dining area and primary catering facility on campus.

• The design for the Student Center was based on the extensive Porter Process, using qualitative and quantitative market research to determine long-term planning, programming and design parameters.

• We designed models for three original concepts including Burger Works, Fire Wok and Vermont Subs.

University of Colorado, Boulder

• PKC recently teamed with Oz Architects on the $2 million renovation of the Alfred Packer Food Court and adjacent Baby Doe c-store the University Memorial Center at UC Boulder.

• A new open floor plan vastly improved customer throughput and, combined with new lighting and a slight facelift, created a much more inviting venue.

• In addition to renovations to the food court, PKC also redesigned Baby Doe’s so that customers can easily access it from the grill and to improve customer throughput.
