Qualifications & Experienceof the Proposed Design TeamD D.2Design Team Resumes

Like many students, Lamar Wakefield worked part time during college to earn money and gain professional experience. But while most architecture students spent their time in drafting rooms, Lamar also worked for general contractors, giving him firsthand experience in the field, and exposure to the full range of professional disciplines involved in the design and construction process. On a fishing trip with friend and colleague John Beasley, the two decided to form a professional partnership, and Wakefield Beasley & Associates was born. Under Lamar and John’s leadership the firm has expanded dynamically, evolving along with trends in the architecture, construction, and real estate industries. Over the years the firm has completed over 3,000 institutional, office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use projects for private and public sector clients throughout the U.S. and around the world, from Trinidad and Tobago to Dubai.

As Chief Executive Officer of Wakefield Beasley & Associates, Lamar has shared responsibilities with John Beasley for leadership of the firm. Lamar’s primary emphasis is on building relationships that ultimately lead to executing projects. This approach is the basis for the firm’s success, capitalizing on successful experience with smaller industrial projects, offices, and local grocery stores, then progressing to more complex work such as high-end retail centers and mixed-use projects with entertainment, hospitality, and residential components. From the beginning, Lamar has maintained the firm’s commitment to providing user-friendly and environmentally sustainable planning and design solutions. His background in construction and estimating keeps him conscious of the schedule and budget concerns of clients and contractors, a basis for mutual respect rather than adversarial relationships.

VETERANS AFFAIR ADMINISTRA-TION BUILDING – Tuscaloosa, AL - The VA renovated their existing administration space in a histori-cally registered building. Multiple historically registered buildings were surveyed for HVAC life expectancy, operations, and user needs. Rec-ommendations on new systems were provided with life cycle cost analysis and impact on the build-ing aesthetics. With owner input, a new HVAC system was designed to keep the building operational during the renovation period.

MARINE CORP RECRUIT DE-POT – Parris Island, SC - An aging central steam system was evalu-ated for life expectancy and en-ergy losses. The localized cooling systems for multiple buildings were assessed to convert to ground source heat pumps (GSHP). The base’s large open range fields were utilized for the new GSHP well fields.

UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY/ATLANTA – Atlanta, GA - Multiple buildings varying from decades to 100 years old were assessed for HVAC requirements and func-tions. The campus was evaluated for load on an hour-by-hour basis over the course of a calendar year. The campus was then converted to a central plant featuring new high efficiency chillers, boilers, cooling towers, and pumps. A new under-ground distribution system provides chilled, hot, and domestic water to each building.

Doug Shaw, Project Manager, will lead the design team for the duration of the project. Over the past twenty years, Doug has worked exclusively with public sector clients, including state departments, local counties and municipalities. From this experience, Doug has learned that the most important skill a project manager needs to have is the ability to listen. As Doug explains, “what all public sector clients have in common is that they all require a unique solution that addresses their specific needs; they all have very challenging budgets; and because they are typically funded by taxpayer funds, they all have zero margin for error – you have to get it right the first time.”

Prior to joining Wakefield Beasley as the Director of the Municipal Studio, Doug Shaw spent ten years as the Director of Architecture for Rosser International overseeing all of the firm’s design studios. As a result, Doug is highly experienced in managing multidisciplinary design teams, as well as coordinating with client stakeholders, regulatory agencies and outside consultants. He is known for his “hands-on” management approach and his responsive nature. In addition to his technical proficiency, he brings a truly collaborative spirit to the design process, ensuring a strong partnership is formed between himself, the stakeholders, the user groups and the design team.


Successes:

Conceived in the grand tradition of City Beautiful planning, the Hall of Justice provides a permanent and durable image for the Michigan judicial system. The Hall houses the Michigan Supreme Court, including the ceremonial courtroom, chambers for seven Supreme Court justices, one appellate courtroom, chambers for 12 Appellate Court judges, offices for the Clerk of Courts, the Administrative Office of the Courts and its attendant support spaces in a monumental six-story edifice. As the third co-equal branch of government, the Hall of Justice shares the capitol mall with the executive and legislative branches, housed in the 1872 Elijah Myers-designed Renaissance revival Michigan State Capitol. As lead designer for the project, Rick Macia’s mission was to create a new courthouse that captured the

stability, dignity, and permanence of the Supreme Court, and to do so within strict budgetary constraints.

Challenges encountered and Overcome:

The Michigan Hall of Justice and Supreme Court building required the careful collaboration of the design team, the Michigan Department of Management and Budget, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and the State Court Administrative Office to successfully complete the building. Due to the projects prominent location on the Capitol Mall in Lansing, it was of critical importance that all parties involved reach agreement on the siting, image and design of the building. This was addressed through a series of regular interactive design presentations involving the owner and the users to achieve consensus resulting in a very

collaborative, non-adversarial team approach during the design and construction of the project.

Successes: The Wakefield Beasley & Associates/ HOK team was selected by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners to provide design services for the new Courthouse and Jail addition project. This is a SPLOST VII funded project. This new 608 bed jail facility and courthouse will be located in downtown Cumming. The Jail features direct and indirect supervision models for the housing units. The courthouse features space for State Court, Superior Court, Clerk of Court, District Attorney and Solicitor Offices. The project budget totals $100 M.

The total project includes a new jail with approximately 175,000 sf, a 160,000 sf new courthouse and two parking decks to accommodate 700 vehicles. The proposed design includes a bridge connection between the court and jail facilities to allow for

safe transportation of inmates.

Challenges encountered and Overcome: The existing site housed existing structures. These structures had to be demolition prior to construction onset. Once this process had been completed, natural rock formations and deep foundations as well as an underground stream where encountered. The design and construction accomodated these conditions.

The new Augusta-Richmond Courthouse, completed in the summer of 2011, has already become a City landmark. The building is transitional by many definitions. Architecturally, it reflects a traditional Georgian approach as well has 21st Century elements of openness, technology, and daylight. The site, located in developing neighborhood several blocks from the Broad Street shopping district requires that the building create a Civic sense of place in an area characterized by distressed buildings and vacant lots, helping to link the downtown to a neglected neighborhood. Its close proximity to the Post Office, Federal Courthouse and Federal Bankruptcy Courthouse help

reposition the area as an emerging civic center district.

Functionally, the building allows the Courts to implement long desired operational goals, with best practices in operations including consolidation of court divisions, integration of shared support, open and welcoming public access, and modern security elements.

The new courthouse announces its presence with a tall tower element, utilizing a setback and use of traditional materials and motifs to create a welcoming and serene presence on the site, particularly on arrival from James Brown Boulevard, the primary connector from downtown. On entering the building, visitors

experience a lofty atrium that diminishes the presence of security screening stations, and instead draws the eye to the monumental public stair and the balconies of the upper floors. The user experience is enhanced throughout the interior, with visual cues for orientation and identification of paths to public counters and courtrooms. With the support of the project stakeholders, the new courthouse successfully balances a traditional sensibility with modern convenience and comfort, revitalizes an underdeveloped neighborhood, and communicates quality in spite of a very challenging budget.

Successes: Viewed from any direction, it is clear that this building has an important civic purpose. The public stair is expressed externally as a tower element which provides a beacon, especially at night. The low-rise circular “office” component accommodates the court support agencies in an element with its own identity, providing efficient net to gross office space. The taller court component is shaped by an efficient court floorplan, and brings natural light into many of the courtrooms. Collegial chambers and courtroom sharing were utilized to allow significant space savings and the ability to provide purpose-built courtrooms. The courthouse occupies a former industrial site, and is bisected by a canal. The existing conditions were addressed with a very context sensitive landscape plan focused on a future waterfront park. While the building address is on James Brown Boulevard, its formal frontage on Walton Way allows it a strong identity on the more major thoroughfare as well. The use and distribution of quality materials—working under a very tight budget—provides a sense of quality and permanence to the areas where people come in close contact, particularly in the main entry lobby, public areas, and courtrooms.Challenges encountered and Overcome: While there was general consensus on the need for a new courthouse, there was considerable public discussion and debate on fundamental

questions, primarily the urban role that the new building would play in the city. During the years of planning and design, shifting political and economic conditions required a process that navigated through such major issues as site, occupancy and cost.

1. Site Selection -- Several sites were identified and studied, and while a vacant site along the riverfront in the heart of downtown was initially identified as an optimal location for the new courthouse, a priority on the value of the courthouse as an economic generator emerged as the over-arching political objective and a less prominent urban development site on the edge of downtown was ultimately chosen by the City, requiring that the new building essentially create its own context. On this count, the building exceeds expectations according to stakeholders on both sides of the discussion.

2. Designing to Budget -- The initial size of the project was needs-based, and a corresponding budget of $80 million was established, supported by the City’s courthouse steering committee. However, political conditions required that this budget be reduced by $20 million in order to gain enough support on the City Council. Such a dramatic reduction challenged the entire project

team to re-think the scope and delivery method, yet still achieve the objectives of court consolidation, providing adequate courtrooms, and quality building.

3. Consensus Building – This is a common challenge, but in Augusta the relationship between elected officials was often contentious and the project goals were subject to passionate debate. The Architect was able to facilitate a process of finding common ground, and work with the judiciary and the project team to utilize best practices to satisfy all stakeholders

E Design Plan

E.1 Approach

role, accountability & overall approach.

As Architect of Record, Wakefield Beasley & Associates views our role as being ultimately responsible for the project’s success. We will lead the design and production effort of our entire team while striving to meet the goals of the user group.

The WBA team approach is based on the belief that successful architecture must grow out of the dialogue between the design team and the client. We have come to realize over the years that the most successful and productive interaction between the client and the architect depends upon the design team’s ability to clearly present the design in a way that the client can have a thorough understanding.

Our team uses a mix of communication mediums throughout the process including drawings, models, reports, renderings and diagrams to allow the entire team of project stakeholders understand the key design issues. This proven, user-focused approach invariably results in a design that is both functional and inspired.

process / communications.

In our work process, the planning and design activities must be open to creative solutions, yet managed within the set of parameters of project scope, schedule, cost management and budget definition. Implementation of effective management controls will be a critical factor in the success of this project. In order to control and

direct the multi-faceted efforts of the team, we will partner with GSFIC implement structured control procedures to carefully monitor the project. We will use BIM and EBuilder to help with communication and organization of information.

E.2 Challenges & Risks

The development of a new Supreme Court building is a civic moment of profound significance. Buildings of this stature are built perhaps once in a century, and express the values of the people who constructed it.

The challenges of achieving a successful outcome begin with selection of an appropriate site befitting such an important civic institution, the home of the third branch of government. The site selected meets this test, with a prominent site proximate to the Capitol Hill district, separate but a part of the State Government district, with significant visibility

from the many thousands travelling on the network of freeways below. The site sits across the freeway boundary between downtown Atlanta and the residential neighborhoods to the east, a division that is marked by a rotation of the street grid and reinforced by a maze of roadways and concrete parking lots.

The first great challenge is to strengthen the connection to downtown and to Capitol Hill. Measures should be taken to green and soften the pedestrian experience between the two sides of the freeway, and to develop a strategy to orient the new building so as to link it to the ensemble of government buildings centered on the Capitol. Developing a landscape overlay to the street pattern that links the Supreme Court building site to Capitol Hill will extend the district to the east and encompass the new building, separating it from the adjacent residential district.

A second challenge is to develop a building imagery that is appropriate not only to the importance of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, but which sends an appropriate message to those who come there seeking justice. The design should express both the Authority of the Court as well as a sense of concern for the wellbeing of the citizens to whom it is accountable, dignifying both. Traditional architectural expression has a rich vocabulary of elements that can communicate these humanist values, that paired with the convenience and comfort of modern technologies will combine to leverage the lessons of the past to the benefit of all.

A third challenge, that of delivering the appropriate civic grandeur in a way that represents value for the taxpayer dollar has many dimensions: on budget delivery, sound construction, and economical operational cost. The project must be constructed within the


budget published at the outset, without rancorous disputes and delays, and be economical to maintain and operate.

As part of our solution, we propose to use a pattern of trees, walkways and building orientation to link the new Supreme Court to the Capitol Hill District. We want the connection of the site to the Capitol Building to be very strong.

The perception of the courthouse as housing an institution of stature elevated above the prosaic government offices that border the Capitol building begins with its profile, utilizing special elements such as pediments, domes, crowns, and/or statuary to mark its place on the skyline in a distinctive manner. This perception of importance in enhanced across the experience of approach from curbside to courtroom, with a deliberately organized sequence of spaces that speak of the importance of the destination. The exterior plaza, the grand staircase, the portico, the great entry hall, the anteroom, and then the courtroom vestibule each combine to heighten the expectations of the visitor or litigant for the high drama of entry to the courtroom.

Select examples of our team’s project experience with courtroom design are included on this page as well as the following page. These are included as an illustration of this orchestration of experience, with the goal of communicating the prestige of the court while ennobling the citizens who approach the bench. In thanking us for the success of our redesign of the courtrooms in the US Courthouse at the Richard Russell Building in Atlanta, Judge Beverly Martin noted that the elegant and beautiful environment of the courtrooms seemed to induce a higher degree of decorum and respect amongst the litigants, who seemed both awed and pleased by the newly august setting.

Michigan Hall of Justice (Supreme Court)

Lansing, Michigan


The final challenge, that of successful delivery, is less photogenic, but of vital importance to the success of the enterprise. We minimize the risk of cost overruns and construction claims through a series of key measures:

First, the initial Concept Stage will develop the full spectrum of project costs as well as align the desired performance with the available resources. If hard decisions need to be made about scope or funding, this is the time for such discussions, not after designs are approved or during constructions.

Second, developing a process that keeps all of the stakeholders informed about progress while incorporating their input into solutions that are accountable and affordable. We begin with a Visioning Workshop to define the desired outcome, and keep that Vision in mind throughout the design and construction process.

Third, our building designs will be based on tested technologies, tried and true through many successful projects, developed and documented by seasoned professionals. We seek close relationships with the Construction Managers and the Facility Managers, incorporating best practices in constructability and maintainability. Our buildings are high performance, environmentally sound, and full of daylight and fresh air, enhancing the daily experience of all who use them.

The concepts, results, and processes described above are technically state of the art, but are most reliant on the professional dedication and passion of our experienced staff. Our commitment to public work, and to courthouse design in particular, separates us from other design professionals, and allows you to have great confidence that we together will achieve the great and historic outcome that this project demands.

E.3 Timeline

A detailed schedule has been provided on the following page. [ Attachment E.3 ] This schedule contains alternatives that may be explored to shorten the schedule.

We have developed a weekly in-house updating requirement to maintain a proactive “hands-on” management posture for our projects. The output reports of the project management system provide a vital communication linkage to transmit specific project information to all team participants. These reports are concise and easy to understand and allows the team to measure current progress with desired outcomes. The project manager can adjust and reassign tasks and resources so that the design schedule is maintained.

E.4 Construction Administration

We will follow all of the procedures required and outlined by the Design Professional Agreement. With that stated, WBA has proposed providing experienced personnel to provide construction administration services. Our internal Construction Administration procedures have been refined over our 30 years of practice and we believe there is no substitute for bringing a mindset of solving issues to the construction site. So, as it relates to your project, our construction administration services will be led by a registered architect and not relegated to an intern. We will manage all RFI’s, submittals and other correspondence using PDFs or other easily transferable platform. We will coordinate with all team members and cooperate to solve the issues that arise. Our goal is to make this phase as simple as possible for the user group and as comprehensive as is required by our agreement and the state guidelines.


E.5 Energy Efficient Design Energy Efficient Design.

We will comply with the state requirements and the “peach” program goals. Specifically we will study the use of the natural light throughout the new building to utilize less electricity. We will study the solar orientation of the new building to minimize solar heat gain. We will also study multiple systems and propose simple control systems to make them more efficient. We will look at roof and building insulation options and make recommendations regarding feasibility and life cycle costs. Overall, we understand that this design and construction effort needs to result in a 100 year structure and the energy costs need to be minimized as much as possible.

Additional Services.

WBA will be using BIM (Revit) production tools for the project. The BIM model can provide enhanced design studies, energy system analysis, and cost analysis. The model could also be enhanced to provide future facilities management information for maintenance schedules and capital improvement planning. We intend to use this model as part of our final deliverable.
